Congratulations to all the young people who participated in YEAAUK Online Musical Theatre Competition. 🎵 🎶 🎙 Competition can be beneficial for young people in several ways, fostering their development and preparing them for future challenges. Here are some key reasons whilst researching that I discovered: Motivation and Goal Setting: Competition encourages young people to set goals and strive to achieve them. This can help them develop a sense of purpose and direction. Resilience and Coping Skills: Facing and overcoming challenges in a competitive environment helps young people build resilience. They learn to handle both success and failure, developing coping mechanisms that will serve them well in life. Self-Improvement and Skill Development: Competition pushes individuals to improve their skills and knowledge. It encourages continuous learning and self-improvement, which are crucial for personal and professional growth. Work Ethic and Discipline: Preparing for competitions often requires hard work, dedication, and discipline. These qualities are valuable in all areas of life, from academics to future careers. Creativity and Innovation: Competitive environments often stimulate creativity and innovation. Young people learn to think outside the box and develop new solutions to problems in order to stand out. Teamwork and Collaboration: Many competitions, such as team sports or group projects, require collaboration. This helps young people develop teamwork skills, learn to communicate effectively, and understand the importance of working with others toward a common goal. Confidence and Self-Esteem: Success in competition can boost self-confidence and self-esteem. Even in the face of failure, young people can gain confidence from knowing they gave their best effort and can learn from their experiences. Healthy Rivalry and Sportsmanship: Competition teaches young people about healthy rivalry and sportsmanship. They learn to respect their opponents, celebrate others’ successes, and handle losses gracefully. Real-World Preparation: The competitive experiences mirror real-world scenarios where competition is a part of everyday life. Whether in academics, sports, or later in their careers, young people will be better prepared to navigate competitive situations. Social Skills and Networking: Through competitions, young people meet and interact with peers who share similar interests. This helps them build social skills and expand their network, which can be beneficial in personal and professional contexts. Overall, competition can play a significant role in the holistic development of young people, equipping them with essential life skills and attitudes that will benefit them throughout their lives.

This bizarre trend of taking successful #TV and #film properties and creating #stage and #musical versions is annoying. #Japan is on a huge binge of this very thing, putting all manner of #manga and #anime on stage. I guess I’d have to see it, or is this the death of creativity? #media www.engadget.com/ent... https://lnkd.in/gtyP4EZ4

How Hollywood Glamour Is Reviving the Endangered Broadway Play George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr., Denzel Washington and Mia Farrow are coming to Broadway, where some producers see plays with stars as safer bets than musicals. The pay on Broadway is not Hollywood-high, but it’s not bad — in commercial productions, stars are often given a negotiated base salary plus a percentage either of the box office or of any profit. As with everything on Broadway, finances play a role. The money risked by investors on plays is much lower than on musicals, which tend to have bigger casts, more elaborate sets, and, of course, musicians, and which have become increasingly expensive to produce. A new musical these days often costs more than $20 million to bring to Broadway — “Boop!” a new musical based on Betty Boop that is opening next spring, is being capitalized for up to $26 million. Plays generally cost less than half as much — the “Romeo and Juliet” revival is being capitalized for up to $7 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Of course, the potential upside is also lower. A successful play might return 30 percent to investors; the musical juggernauts (which are few and far between) can return many times that by sustaining long runs in large theaters and spinning off tours. (Of the 24 new Broadway musicals that opened over the last two seasons, only one, “& Juliet,” has become profitable thus far. Two others, “Hell’s Kitchen” and “The Outsiders,” have plausible paths to profitability, but it is too soon to know for sure.) Broadway had been on a remarkable upward trajectory in the years preceding the pandemic, but then tumbled; during the 2023-24 season, total attendance was still 17 percent lower than it had been the last full season before the pandemic.

The 2023-2024 Broadway season has officially come to an end and the Broadway League has released the stats. The season grossed $1.54 billion, slightly down 2.4% from the previous season, with 12.29 million admissions, almost unchanged from last year. Despite these positive figures, they have not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels from the 2018-2019 season, which saw $1.83 billion in gross and 14.77 million attendees. However, theater capacity was high at 89.63%, close to 2018-2019's 89.75% and higher than last season's 88.35%. There were 1,471 playing weeks, slightly fewer than the previous season, but attendance per playing week increased to 8,353 from 8,333. The season saw 39 new productions, including 21 musicals, 16 plays, and 2 specials. #theater #broadway #onstage #boxoffice #tickets https://lnkd.in/ed_i2PKY
