Broadway Kids Academy

This is a great business idea, everyone wins. The kids really get a wonderful priceless gift imo. However, being a business, I hold it to very high standards. Hiring an audio engineer would be my next step if I had this business, even mortgaging my own house and getting a HELOC to fix whatever audio problems existed. I have been in bands my whole life and when you have technical problems onstage it throws you off, takes you outside of the drama, breaks the 4th wall when it is not temporally necessary, and almost ruins the entire experience for the audience and the performance members. However, besides that, not only do I support and think this is probably the best thing for kids, I wish it was more widely available. It was an amazing performance, the kids worked very hard and it showed. I was blown away by the look and feel of the theater, the space, lighting, special effects, etc. I only see a double digit growth for this type of academy. The Vegas Valley needs this, not anything for kids to do and this is a big answer to that problem. The audio is probably a one off, go see a show!!

I have come to Broadway kids for a bit and it is where I feel most welcomed. It is what I look forward to everyday. Aladdin was my favorite one to be in, as I was Princess Jasmine.

My daughter is a student here and she absolutely loves it! It's a 2 hour commitment every week and you have to be comfortable dropping off and picking up as there's no place to wait. But this is her second time and it's her favorite extra curricular.

As a CHILD i experienced blatant homophobia and intolerance at this place, which is unacceptable. I was told by the lead director of Seussical when i was in the fifth grade that I was acting "too flamboyant," and that is a direct quote. I wasn't even allowed to audition for roles that were not male (my assigned sex.) I was told I couldn't sing the song Poor Unfortunate Souls from The Little Mermaid at a showcase, and was told by a staff member to sing a song from Shrek to "challenge myself." In other words "no, that's too gay." As a young gay man, I found home in something that I created for myself (theater) and was shamed and mocked and disrespected by religious adults. To be fair, this is the place I found my love for Theater and tapped into my inner power, but there is no excuse for shaming a child for being gay.

Spectacular academy for our future thespians! Our daughter attends here and they allow the children space to create and live out their dreams of the arts. The staff is patient and kind and only puts on 1st class production.
