The world-renowned MTI theatre licensee (Music Theatre International) presented Broadway Kids Production with a great opportunity to support Ukrainian children. MTI gave a license to produce and show the musical “Fame Jr.” in English with the participation of young talented actors.
That is why this year the Broadway Kids Production company, under the leadership of the producer of the Broadway Kids studio Maria Prylypko, took the initiative to stage the musical “Fame Jr.” as a charity project for children who remain in the country during the war.
Fame is an international sensation that continues to reach new generations of performers and audience members. The show provides great opportunities to feature a diverse talent pool and showcase artistic mediums like dancing, singing, acting, rapping, and musicianship.
«Make your way on Broadway»project is a chance for every talented child in Ukraine to try themselves in the musical genre.
Broadway Kids Studio gave this chance to everyone who came to the casting and got into the musical Fame Jr. absolutely free of charge.
Children are involved in group and individual rehearsals. They have English pronunciation lessons, dance and vocal workshops, and theatrical art classes. Broadway Kids Production provides all this for children for free so they can develop creatively, improve their English, and continue to sing, dance, support each other, especially in such difficult times in the country.
The premiere of the musical Fame Jr. will take place on December 18, 2023, in Kyiv, at the Theater on Podil (Andriyivsky Descent 20 A).
Ukrainian children will play this performance in English!
