Musical Theatre Radio presents "Be Our Guest"

Catch Me When I Fall, an original, Broadway-style musical inspired by the lived experiences of Washington County residents facing economic hardship.  Catch Me When I Fall is a social justice docudrama.  Every story depicted in the production is based on true experiences shared by members of the community, thoughtfully woven together to highlight resilience, struggle, and hope.
This groundbreaking new work offers audiences an intimate and moving look at the realities faced by many in Washington County, while celebrating the power of storytelling to foster empathy and connection.

“Vincent” is a contemporary, gender-flipped reimagining of Vincent van Gogh. It’s not a bio but an impressionistic painting based on Vincent Van Gogh’s aura. Littered with the sounds of emo, pop/punk and progressive rock, “Vincent” follows a struggling Brooklyn artist battling loneliness, obsession, and mental illness as her relationship with Paul Gauguin spirals toward catastrophe. Blending indie rock, dreamlike theatricality, and psychological realism, the show asks: when validation never comes, what keeps an artist alive?

”Vincent” had its first concert in Syosset, NY where it played a sold out run in 2021. “Vincent” then made its New York City debut in May 2023 at the NY Theater Festival Summerfest where it was nominated for 5 awards and winning 2. (Best Score & Best Direction for Alyssa Kakis). In 2024 Long Island University’s Post Theatre Company produced a workshop followed by a full production in 2025 that played to 5 sold out audiences. In April 2026 a fully independent cast recording has been released.

For one unforgettable night, the greatest lovers of all time — Romeo, Casanova, Cyrano de Bergerac and the Marquis de Sade — reunite in a wildly entertaining, pop-powered battle to discover the truth about romance, reputation, and desire.

Featuring explosive choreography by Emmy Award-winner Joshua Bergasse (Smash, On the Town) and a contemporary pop score by Eurovision finalists Julien Salvia and Ludovic Alexandre-Vidal, this smart, funny and unexpectedly heartfelt new musical is as seductive as it is hilarious.

Direct from New York, produced by Broadway International Group, Marc Routh and Simone Genatt, WORLD’S GREATEST LOVER is a bold new show that asks what happens when legendary lovers realise they may not understand love at all.

Seductive. Hilarious. Irresistible.
Prepare to be seduced.

Based on terrifying true events that creator Holly Doubet experienced, THIS IS NOT A DRILL takes audiences inside the surreal chaos of a morning in 2018, when an emergency alert warned Hawaii residents and visitors of an incoming missile attack. As fear grips the island, strangers and loved ones alike are forced to confront their mortality and their humanity. Set to a soaring and heartfelt score, this powerful new musical tells the story of connection, compassion, and what truly matters when time stands still.

Trapped indoors by torrential rain, legendary writers Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley and their friends, Polidori and Claire, search for inspiration by the gloomy Lake Geneva. But things fall apart the longer they are stuck together... Polidori’s diary is brought to life in the 1816: The Year Without a Summer musical.
