The series' vibe is to present glimpses of shows in their development phases, with focus on the writing and performances and less attention to production value. Jeff Whiting, CEO of Open Jar Studios, shares his vision: J eff Whiting remarked, "The Broadway Workroom Series is more than concerts of new work. It's a revelation of the incredible journey that new Broadway musicals undertake. For too long, this creative process has remained behind closed doors. Now, we're inviting the audience into the development process, offering them a front-row seat to witness the birth of Broadway's future hits." Future Participating Musicals in The Broadway Workroom Series: It was previously announced that two additional shows will be included in future offerings of The Broadway Workroom Series. They are ROOTED: A MUSICAL POEM with book, music and lyrics by Jewelle Blackman ( Hadestown ) and THE WORLD'S CASSETTE LIBRARY with music by Mike Nappi (Bandstand ), lyrics and book by Nappi, Max Sangerman (A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical) and Sam Durant Hunter (Paris Through A Window).
