Finding the "You" In It All
The Song Is You! celebrates the words, music 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.
It's a glorious artform in which characters open up to express their thoughts and feelings with dialogue and more, these elements can all create a powerful story. And in the end, the song is you! It’s about the connections you discover between musical theater and your own lives.
And you know what? The Musical Theater Project proudly explores America’s democracy, 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.

It’s Time for a Love Song – Sold Out!
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 Disney’s “Kiss the Girl” (from The Little Mermaid).
