Experience the magic of Broadway at The Paramount: a dazzling fusion of iconic songs, over 100 aspiring talents, and guest artists from Broadway and beyond, celebrating arts education with hits from The Sound of Music to Shrek and beyond!
Broadway at The Paramount will bring together Broadway and regional artists, over 100 students from DMR Adventures, and graduating seniors for two incredible performances in celebration of arts education. The production will feature songs from Mean Girls, Finding Nemo, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, James and the Giant Peach, The Sound of Music, Shrek, and more! The stars of the DMR Adventures JTF Troupe will present their award-winning piece from Descendants, and our youngest stars from the YAS! Youth After School program will join in the Broadway celebration.
DMR Adventures is thrilled to announce that international director, choreographer, and Broadway performer Matthew Steffens will join the company of Broadway at The Paramount as Emcee and Guest Artist. He was the original director of Broadway at The Paramount for several years when it was a part of DMR's summer programming. Steffens states, "I can't wait to be back with DMR Adventures for Broadway at The Paramount. Last summer, when I was directing Cabaret at Virginia Theatre Festival, I was reminded of the amazing talent that is in Charlottesville. A lot has changed in the world since I directed the 2017 version when this was a summer intensive, but one thing has remained the same. DMR Adventures continues to provide opportunities to showcase the best and brightest talent in Charlottesville. I'm excited to work with that talent to create a spectacular show that will take our audience on a journey. Whether it's on Broadway in NYC to Broadway at The Paramount, I love working with our next generation of artists!"
