ENGLAND - BEAM is the UK’s leading showcase for new British musical theatre writing, happening biennially. This two-day event, presented by Mercury Musical Developments and Musical Theatre Network, in partnership with Royal & Derngate Northampton, brings together presentations of around 35 new musicals in development, masterclasses, networking opportunities, and panel discussions. It’s a big deal, so you can imagine how disappointed folks were when it had to be cancelled.

We’ve opened up submissions to those who were programmed for a showcase, and are building a list of them here. Keep checking back because we’re going to keep on updating!
