The theatrical licensor Music Theatre International (MTI) created this revue for theatres to use as a local fundraising event to be performed over the same weekend of November 12, 2021, thereby creating a global phenomenon.

All Together Now! features songs from MTI’s beloved catalogue of musicals including Annie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Come From Away, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Fiddler on the Roof, Godspell, Guys and Dolls, Hairspray, Into the Woods, Les Misérables, Little Shop of Horrors, Mamma Mia!, Matilda, My Fair Lady, Once on This Island, Rent, Waitress and many more!

MTI’s President and CEO, Drew Cohen stated, “MTI’s All Together Now! is about bringing people back to the theatre, whether as audience members or cast, crew and musicians. The revue features songs from the world’s most iconic musicals, so there is definitely something for everyone to enjoy. Our goal with this worldwide event is for organizations to provide hope, inspiration and excitement to their communities through the transformative power of musical theatre.

For the first time EVER, the city of Reading’s local theater groups are teaming up TOGETHER for one full day filled with all of your favorite musical songs! 1st Street Players, Genesius, Reading Civic Theater, Reading Community Players, Reading Theater Project, and Yocum Institute are joining the same stage to put on 2 shows for an unforgettable day at the Miller Center. All ticket proceeds will benefit the six theater groups performing in the show. This will be a tremendous help after everyone being dark due to COVID.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
