Broadway Bound LIVE

- Season 1

(2020)

Meet your Broadway Bound LIVE cast as they prepare for their very first challenge: an act off. Contestants are divided into four teams, each team working with an acting coach on a section of Kathryn Miller's "Shakespeare TO GO!" script. The week begins strong, but tensions rise as one team struggles with unexpected conflicts.

After a rough beginning, the actors gear up for the first elimination round. They have had 2 weeks to prepare their lines and blocking and only 9 hours to rehearse as a team. Which team will come out on top? Which contestants will be sent home? The stakes are huge and the pressure builds with the sound of a mysterious bell.

The contestants find themselves in a surprise 5 hour dance workshop. Can they avoid disaster and prepare for the next round?

The teams are ready for the dance-off, and the night finally arrives. Just before they begin, however, they learn that immunity from elimination may be on the table.

The next round is singing, with our contestants being paired to perform duets. But with many unfamiliar with their partner's abilities, will the Broadway hopefuls be able to harmonize?

The vocal battle has arrived. With some on shakier footing than others, the teams must be in tune with each other, or face the risk of going home forever.

After another round of eliminations, the cast dwindles to just seven actors--two of whom have immunity. The remaining five team up with writers, Ron Weisberg and Alissa Hall to write a who-dunnit murder mystery complete with escape room tactics for the audience--ciphers, locked boxes, and hidden clues. Everyone is a suspect in this round. An unexpected visit at the end leaves the cast uncertain of what will happen in the next round.

The top female (Angelyce Silva) and top male (Corban Mejia) received immunity and a guaranteed slot among the final four, leaving just two slots remaining. After an unexpected visit from The Eliminated in the previous round, contestants learned that they will compete against ALL contestants, even those previously eliminated--in a musical theatre cabaret for the final two spots. At the end of the night, only four remain.

The final four have just five weeks to prepare an original musical, The Green, by Joriah Kwame Flemming with all star team led by Jonathan Ragsdale (known for Elf and Finding Neverland). In the final rehearsals, they are star struck by a visit from some extra special guests.

In the final round of Broadway Bound LIVE, the final four pour everything they are as they portray the heart-wrenching tale of "Manhattan"--a girl who once had a dream and wondered if she lost it. Jonathan Juarbe, Director of Admissions at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, along with Broadway star, J. Elaine Marcos, join the adjudication panel as they cast the vote that will change one lucky life, as the Musical Theatre Champion, and recipient of the coveted 4 year renewable Director's Scholarship to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City.
