celebrate its diversity, creativity and future.

NYMF will have a series of programs, all open to the public –

THE NYMF PERFORMANCE SERIES, where 31 musicals will be premiered. This will included 15 chosen as part of the Next Link Project (selected by Broadway luminaries Gabriel Barre, Raul Esparza, Robyn Goodman, Kathleen Marshall, Jeff Marx, Bobby Lopez and Scott Schwartz) and 16 works invited into the Festival from across the globe (including works from the UK, Canada and Australia).

THE NYMF MOVIE MUSICAL SCREENING SERIES, the first event of its kind, which will showcase award-winning new musical features, shorts, dance movies, and music videos at the AMC Times Square, a premiere 25-screen movie theatre in the heart of the theatre district, September 27 – 30.
