Rehearsals for the Musical 13!
We’ve been rehearsing our Musical Theater kids for almost a month now, and they’ve come a long way! Here is our first video of their showstopping number 13/Becoming a Man. Congrats to all our performers! With rehearsals like these, we can’t wait to see the final show!
Save the date for the performance: May 16-19! And please remember that our Musical Theater board, sitting out in the hallway near the entrance, will be updated weekly. As we receive props, some items will be taken down and replaced with new things that we need for this performance. Every little bit helps, and our BackBeat City Family is helping a lot!
Thank You for Your Support!
Items have been flying at us — in some cases, quite literally! Thank you parents, performers, friends and family alike for all of your donations to our prop closet to make 13 something truly special!

Musical Theater at BackBeat City!
Auditions start tomorrow at BackBeat City for 13 the Musical!
Auditions are on January 10 and 12 from 4:00-6:00pm for middle and high school age students. Rehearsals begin on January 17, and run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00-6:00pm.
13 is a fun musical and coming of age story about a boy who moves from New York City to Appleton, Indiana. We’re looking forward to a great semester and end of the year show with this musical! Appropriate for ages 12 and up (younger kids can participate with a signed permission slip).
Learn Love Holiday Show
Thank you to everybody who helped us make the Learn Love Holiday Show the great success it was! We were excited to not only show off the progress of our four Show Choirs (BackBeat, BackLash, BeatBox & BeBop) but also to introduce our first advanced hip hop dance team as well as a few musical numbers from our Musical Theater cast. We had a really fun time putting it all together and the kids loved the holiday performance opportunity.
Don’t think it’s over just yet! The Learn Love Holiday Show is only the halfway point to our year-end production in the spring. Our programs are all based on a year-long schedule to be performance ready for spring. Learn Love V will be performed in May or June (date pending) and will include a similar cast of students. Additionally, BackBeat is proud to offer its first year-end dance recital, which will also happen in May or June and will include students of all ages and dance styles.
Keep an eye out for other intermittent performances, like the Studio Showcase (performance opportunity for private lesson students), a Valentine’s Show and much more!
