Confidential Musical Theatre Project

The Second Annual

13 September 2025 - doors 19:00, show 19:30-21:30
Het Amsterdams Theaterhuis

The show has been selected, and everyone involved is sworn to secrecy, they can’t even reveal which show they’re in!

There are no rehearsals. Just adrenaline, instinct, and a whole lot of trust.

The audience is also totally in the dark… until the lights go down, the music starts, and the secret is out!

Will it go perfectly? Definitely not.
Will it be unforgettable? Absolutely.

Join us for this special one night only performance. Expect surprises. Embrace the chaos. Celebrate the magic of live theater!

2025 Open Call for Auditions:
23 June - 21 July

Do you love musical theater? Thrive on spontaneity, teamwork, and a bit of chaos? Then we invite you to audition for the 2nd Annual Confidential Musical Theater Project (CMTP) – Netherlands!

What’s CMTP?

Created by Marion Abbott, CMTP is a unique theatre experience where:

  • You audition without knowing the show.

  • You learn your role solo over 7 weeks, guided only by Director and Music Director notes.

  • You meet your cast just two hours before showtime!

  • The audience knows the concept - but not the show

It’s live theater meets improv, and the only rule is: keep going and have fun!

Whether you're a seasoned performer or new to the community, CMTP is a low-commitment, high-reward opportunity to stretch your skills and enjoy the ride.

To ensure equal opportunities:

(1) We are committed to casting different performers in lead roles every year, to expand the community and create more casting opportunities.

(2) WE DO NOT CHARGE CASTING FEES, ensuring there are no financial barriers for any applicants.

Audition Process

The process is simple- fill in our google form and send us a video- since you don’t know what the show will be, or the character you are auditioning for, choose a song that best showcases your vocal range, style, and acting abilities!

The details

  • The video should be no longer than a minute and a half (or if longer, be aware that we will only be able to watch the first 90 seconds since we get so many auditions). 

  • The song choice is up to you, but please make sure to focus on both acting and singing.

  • Any style is welcome.

  • You can choose any part of the song.

Tips

  • The three people that will be watching your auditions: Our Director, Musical Director, and Stage Manager (Madison, Elliot, and Ellen) all speak English. It is to your advantage to sing and act in English so they can best engage with your audition.

  • You can send in any video of you singing and acting, but a video that focuses on you, with good lighting and focus helps us really see you better.

  • The sooner you send in your video, the better. We always get a rush of videos before the deadline and end up needing to watch many back to back. In order to help yours stand out from the crowd and give us time to really take in your audition, send in your video before the last day or two.
