Since the early days of the Children's Music Theatre (now the National Youth Music Theatre), a period in which we have seen the rapid development of musical theatre activity in schools and community youth theatres, musicals for young performers have been a vital part of the work of Josef Weinberger. It has become increasingly evident that not only does youth music theatre play a critical role in breeding the performers and audiences of tomorrow, but it has wide-ranging and long-lasting benefits for the personal development of the individuals taking part.

Our colleagues at Music Theatre International and the R&H Theatricals have also taken a lead in producing excellent new musical theatre works for young performers - many adapted from the classic shows of the Broadway theatre - and high-quality and innovative materials to go with them. With their Broadway Junior series, MTI have been outstanding pioneers in this field, and R&H Theatricals have now launched their own series, called Getting to Know. In the past two years, MTI have launched their new Kids Collection for primary children and this and Broadway Junior are the vehicles for an exciting new cooperation with Disney Theatricals using the film scripts and musical scores of Disney's extraordinary collection of animated films.

To the left of this page are links to the various collections of shows for young performers, while below is an alpha listing of titles.
