The largest annual musical theatre event in America, the New York Musical Theatre Festival provides an unrivaled showcase for new musicals. The festival gives artists the crucial chance to hone their craft and develop projects in the most effective manner -- by realizing new musicals in three dimensions before a live and responsive audience -- and delivers greater production value and promotional reach than its participants could otherwise afford or access. Since its inception in 2004, the New York Musical Theatre Festival has proven a remarkably effective launching pad, with over 40 shows transferring to successful productions on Broadway, off-Broadway, regionally, on tour, and around the world.
