This will mark the fifth year for the program based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Students should be freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors as of the fall 2006 in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade County. In addition, each student should prepare the following:

One minute vocal selection with tape or CD

accompaniment (no vocals.) Broadway music preferred.

Those auditioning should expect to participate in dance, movement and improvisational exercises to show their creative and expressive abilities. BROADWAY'S CLASS ACT will rehearse the week of July 31st (mandatory for all members) and spend at least one day a month traveling to schools or in rehearsal.

Broadway Across America is the nationwide Broadway marketing and customer service initiative that serves as a mark of quality, ensuring consumers that they are seeing first-rate touring Broadway shows, often directly from the original Broadway producers.  

Broadway In Florida is presented in arrangement with Florida Theatrical Association, a non-profit civic organization with a volunteer board of trustees established to ensure the continued presentation of quality national touring Broadway productions in Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Miami Beach. Florida Theatrical Association was founded with the purpose of educating and developing new audiences and to encourage and preserve the presentation of touring Broadway theatre.
