Finding the YOU In It All
The Song Is You! celebrates the music, lyrics and artists that give the art form its passion and importance. These concerts showcase the finest theater and film songs while exploring the cultural and historical impact of musical theater as an American art form. Often referred to as a “docu–concert” or live documentary, each TMTP concert combines live performances with commentary and dozens of rare still images and video clips.
We love the art form that allows us to express ourselves through dance and song. Combined with dialogue, costume design, and more, these elements can all create a powerful story. The Musical Theater Project explores America's cultural history through concert theater, delving into the rich diversity of the American experience, the enduring relevance of musical theater in contemporary society, and the legacies of pivotal artists, while cultivating profound connections to its iconic characters, themes, and music.
THE SONG IS YOU!
Upcoming Concerts
Through contemporary performance and original scripts, TMTP’s concerts and cabarets explore the song repertoire of American stage and screen musicals. Performed by first-rate singers and instrumentalists, these concerts provide additional ways to interact with your audience, and share the universal and individual connection of song.
In difficult times, the sounds of romance and love help ease the anxiety. This docu-concert will sample some of the best–from Irving Berlin’s “How Deep is the Ocean” and Rogers & Hammerstein’s “Some Enchanted Evening” to Jonathan Larson’s “Without You”.
