Audiences at selected 2007 New York Musical Theatre Festival performances this week are getting an unexpected bonus: the debut of three original musical shorts as part of the NYMF MicroMusicals Project.

These three minute-long musical appetizers are bookended by the typical pre-show curtain speech, bursting "spontaneously" out of expected announcements about cell phones and candy wrappers.  The MicroMusicals ensemble is seated undetectably among regular NYMF patrons.

No announcement will be made as to what shows the MicroMusicals will be performed at, making them a surprising and exclusive bonus for audience members lucky enough to be present at one of them.

The NYMF MicroMusicals Project was written by three well-known New York teams: Tom Kitt & Brian Yorkey (Next To Normal, High Fidelity), Rachel Axler & Stephen Sislen (Slut, "The Daily Show") and Sammy Buck & Dan Acquisto (Like You Like It) and directed by Jess McLeod, NYMF's Associate Director of Programming.
