Behind the Scenes! Actors and actresses work hard to make their characters believable, but they aren't the only ones that do the work!! Here are a few behind the scene jobs that make a Broadway show complete:

Actor and Actresses- people who act out the characters
Director- the person who directs people where they should be at what times
Choreographer- the person who makes up dances to the various songs
Music Director- puts where songs should be and who sings them

Dressers- people who assist actors and actresses between scenes to get dressed
Costume Designers- people who design costumes for the certain era that is displayed in the musical
Lighting Technicians- decide which kind of lighting for the different moods of a musical
Stage Coordinators- people who are on the side of the curtains telling people when they need to come off and on

Set Designers- people who design the set for different scenes of a musical
Composers- people who compose the music for a musical, make certain patterns of music for different moods of a musical
Spokespersons- people who release information about a musical
Producers- companies that invest money in the musical and are the people who make the musical possible

Those are some of the few people that work on a Broadway production. Just look at a playbill (which is a program to a Broadway show) and see there are people behind the curtain just as important as the people in front of the curtain!
