Wow! That is Awesome!!! Honestly, kudos to those schools, I hope every MT program gets on board!
It’s definitely a step in the right direction and will improve each year I suspect. However there is still variability as there are A and B song and monologue options and it doesn’t yet include dance. But kudos to the schools participating!
Agree. But still so many variables. Not sure how helpful this will really be. But glad for the intention
If you look at the options, at least one is a subset of the other. In other words, if a school requires two video submissions, one is what is required from the other option. Add to that all the things with no variance (slate presentation, framing of the prescreen, etc.). And since my daughter will be part of the 2021 cycle, dance will be added by then as well. This is a big step in the right direction.
It is a huge improvement! For all of those who had to video a zillion different options; 16 bars, 32 bars, 1 minute, 90 seconds…this really narrows it down significantly. Best of all its a timed option not bars since contemporary musical theatre isn’t written in the customary 8 measure verses 16/32 bar cuts are more difficult to find. I hope many more schools jump onboard!
Hi All -
For the most up to date info on the Musical Theater Common Prescreen follow the link to Paper Mill Playhouse. They have hosted and facilitated the conversations between the universities and negotiated the criteria.

Double check the schools website link. Millikin is wrong even though the right color but Millikin is spelled wrong and it is a high school in California. .
