The Broadway Intensive
We are excited to announce that The Broadway Intensive 2024 will feature scenes and songs from:
WICKED!
About Camp
Each year at the Broadway Intensive, we feature a different Broadway show. We spend our time learning music, choreography, and scenes from that show. Sometimes we bring in a special guest artist from the cast of that show on Broadway or on Tour. This year's featured show is WICKED! We will learn all about WICKED from Broadway and National Tour cast members Geoff and Chelsea Packard.
University of Michigan Musical Theatre students help each year as group leaders and teaching assistants.
The week will culminate in a group performance of excerpts from WICKED - complete with original Broadway staging.
