What is Next On Stage? In Spring 2020, when Broadway was dark and student productions across the country were being canceled due to the COVID pandemic, BroadwayWorld saw an opportunity to shine a spotlight on young performers across the country who were otherwise sidelined. Next On Stage was born out of the hope of providing a platform for some of the outstanding talent that will grace the Broadway stages of the future. Since its launch, the series has enjoyed five seasons and showcased the voices of thousands of young people across the country.

Prizes for Season 6 include the AMDA Emerging Artists Scholarship, the Atlantic Summer Teen Conservatory Scholarship, a vocal lesson with Matt Farnsworth, an MTI rental certificate for your school or college, a work session with casting director JImmy Larkin and more!

All finalists will win a trip to NYC, two tickets to a Broadway show, and perform on stage at the finale at 54 Below!
