🎭 Welcome to NEW@NAMT: The Next Wave of Musical Theatre Writers!
This season, we’re thrilled to bring you NEW@NAMT Season 5, featuring the talented winners of the Musical Theater Songwriting Challenge for High School Students presented by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), in partnership with the National Alliance for Musical Theatre (NAMT), Concord Theatricals, Disney Theatrical Productions, the NMPA S.O.N.G.S. Foundation and the Biller Family Foundation.
Each episode takes you inside the creative process with these inspiring young songwriters as they share their original songs, stories, and experiences from Winners Weekend in New York City, where their work was fully orchestrated and performed live by Broadway professionals.
Join host Jean-Paul Yovanoff from Musical Theatre Radio, alongside a rotating cast of Songwriting Challenge Program Mentors, Orchestrators and Artists as guest co-hosts. Together, they guide conversations with these emerging voices, providing insight into the future of musical theatre.
🎶 In this episode, we talk to Ali Lewis about her song “Why Not?” from her musical The Lost and Found and collaborating with co-host Florencia Cuenca. Ali shares what it was like to visit New York City for the first time, working with Florencia as the performer for her winning song, and the importance of experimenting in her writing process.
Whether you're a producer, a theatre lover, or simply curious about the next generation of musical theatre creators, NEW@NAMT gives you a front-row seat to the future of musical theatre.
It’s time to lower the lights, raise the curtain, and LX1 Go! 🎭
