Broadway Dreams 2025 Summer Intensive Tour to Launch This Week

Broadway Dreams' 2025 Summer Performing Arts Intensive Tour “House of Love,” is launching this week in Nashville, TN. Known for its immersive musical theater training led by Broadway’s biggest stars and top creatives, the tour will travel to eight U.S. cities and Europa Park in Rust, Germany. Each weeklong intensive features master classes in acting, vocal performance, dance, and the business of theater, culminating in dynamic Broadway-style cabaret performances where students share the stage with their Broadway idols. Participants also receive a private audition before a distinguished panel of Broadway directors, choreographers, music directors, and casting professionals who offer valuable feedback. Registration remains open in all cities, giving aspiring performers the opportunity to learn from industry leaders and elevate their skills.
