THE ACCESS BROADWAY® STORY
Access Broadway® established on August 14th, 1998 premiered its first season in January 1999 as the very first "All Inclusive” Broadway Experience™, Performing Arts Event, featuring competition, workshop and talent search in dance, acting and voice. Up until that date, the only events of its nature were Dance Competitions and Conventions. Company founder, Broadway veteran performer Ron DeVito expanding the dance competition market developing the idea over numerous years while performing on Broadway in shows such as Cats, 42nd Street & Starlight Express. Utilizing his experience and Broadway credentials, Ron included the Acting & Vocal Arts to the growing live talent event industry. Over the past two decades Ron & The Access Broadway® Company have produced and presented countless events throughout the country which has brought this original program to students, teachers & aspiring performers. Numerous attendees have started their professional careers through this innovative program which proudly features constructive and diverse talent competitions, performing arts education and professional opportunities.
ACCESS BROADWAY UPDATE...COVID-19
EXCELLENT PLAN FOR OUR 2021 SEASON!
Dear Studio Directors, Students and Families,
I hope you, your families and studio members are all healthy and well. Ron has contacted this season's venues and we are planning on presenting our events at our host venues in what is referred to as a "Block Schedule" (One Studio scheduled at a time) throughout our weekend event complying with all government capacity and safety mandates. This year, Access Broadway's® production will be privately live streamed to all Studios enrolled in our event. For events held in hotels, we suggest you book rooms early as many of our clientele will be using those rooms to prepare for the event, social distancing in small groups for live stream viewing and get togethers. Stay safe in your rooms and come on down to the function space as instructed in our carefully constructed socially distanced schedule.
Should any of our venues cancel due to COVID related issues, Access Broadway® will offer our highly acclaimed "On Location" event where we bring our Access Broadway® production, directly to you in the safety and security of your Studio or Venue choice within all government mandates. Your school gets your very own day with Access Broadway® and your scores get pooled in with other "On Location Studios" culminating in our professional, entertaining live streamed Broadway Star Award® Ceremony. This idea, created by Ron in May 2020 in response to COVID lockdowns, has received rave reviews after our first presentation in October 2020. Check out our instagram page @access_broadway to see all the amazing highlights.
The Show Must Go On!
and it will, at

All My Best,
