About the Show
This Could Be On Broadway follows a tight-knit group of high school kids mounting their Winter/Spring musical. Act 1 takes the audience through the high stakes Mountain Valley High School callback process of The Matrix Musical. From dance call to scene work to cuts, the hallway outside the auditorium becomes a battleground for teenage aspirations: romance blossoms, egos flare, and identities are threatened. As tensions rise and the numbers dwindle, the remaining thespians become entangled in a competition to make it to the end. In Act 2, The Matrix Musical team gathers for the cast party! But unexpected casting decisions have thrown the department’s social hierarchy into chaos over the past few months since the callbacks. With post-show emotions running high, gossip flying, and a surprise visit from a legendary alumnus, the party becomes a pressure cooker for off-stage drama, in a quirky exploration of what it means to be a theatre kid.
