Musical theatre requires a lot of practice in singing, dancing, and acting. But once you’ve got that down, you’re ready to perform. Except for one thing: What to wear.

If you’re a fan of new musical theatre, you’re no stranger to YouTube. With most of the #NMTwriters posting their latest and greatest concerts on YouTube for the non-New Yorkers to enjoy, it’s one of many joys we get that from #NMTshows that we don’t get with Broadway ones.
