We are heading to New York City for Broadway Bound NYC, a high-energy, immersive trip designed to give students a taste of the professional industry.
This trip is open anyone ages 13 and up. To ensure this experience is accessible for all students despite rising travel costs, we are giving everyone ample time to plan for the costs and offering a payment plan.
The Broadway Bound Experience
Students will participate in three intensive workshops led by actual Broadway industry leaders in three core disciplines:
Voice: Technical precision, performance enhancement, and vocal delivery.
Acting: Character development, scene work, etc..
Dance: Professional choreography and movement.
To complement our students’ training, the group will attend two Broadway shows specifically selected to tie into our workshop curriculum.
MEET YOUR CLINICIANS!
Check back periodically as we add our clinicians’ names and bios as they come available!
Preston Truman Boyd | Javert in the National Tour of Les Misérables
We’re thrilled to welcome Preston as a clinician for 601 Studios’ Broadway Bound NYC series in June 2027! Preston recently wrapped a two-year run as Inspector Javert in the National Tour of Les Misérables, starring opposite Nick Cartell’s Jean Valjean and bringing one of musical theatre’s most iconic roles to audiences across the country. His approach to the role? Finding “power in stillness.”
Preston’s story started a lot like our students’ stories. In 2003, he played Jean Valjean in Trollwood Performing Arts School’s production of Les Misérables as a teenager in Moorhead, Minnesota. He was a National Merit Scholar who won scholarships in both vocal music and musical theatre, then went on to graduate from the College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) at the University of Cincinnati, one of the top musical theatre programs in the country.
From there, he made it to Broadway, appearing in Kiss Me, Kate, The Play That Goes Wrong, Sunset Boulevard, She Loves Me, On the Twentieth Century, Bullets Over Broadway and Big Fish, plus a jazzy, New Orleans-style reimagining of The Pirates of Penzance. On tour, he played Bob Gaudio in Jersey Boys and The Monster in Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein.
Hero, villain, rock legend, monster, and comedy scene-stealer, Preston is living proof that a kid with a big voice and a strong work ethic can go all the way to Broadway. We can’t wait to have him as part of Broadway Bound NYC!
Michael Mendez | Broadway Performer & Director of Musical Theatre at USC
We’re thrilled to welcome Michael Mendez as a clinician for 601 Studios’ Broadway Bound NYC series in June 2027! Michael is a Broadway veteran whose career spans acting, singing, dancing, directing, and teaching. He was part of the original Broadway cast of the Tony-nominated musical Water for Elephants and has also appeared on Broadway in Chaplin and Man of La Mancha, along with New York City Center’s Hey, Look Me Over! and the Off-Broadway musical Fat Camp. His performance experience extends beyond the stage to television and film, giving him a wide-ranging perspective on the performing arts.
Michael’s journey is especially exciting for students who dream of building a career in musical theatre. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he studied musical theatre at the Orange County School of the Arts before earning his B.F.A. in Musical Theatre from the University of Arizona and his M.F.A. in Directing from the University of Idaho. He spent two decades building his career in New York City, working as a performer, director, and educator while developing the skills needed to succeed in multiple areas of the industry.
Today, Michael serves as the Director of Musical Theatre at the University of Southern California’s School of Dramatic Arts, where he leads the university’s musical theatre programs and mentors the next generation of performers. Before joining USC, he taught at Marymount Manhattan College, Rider University, and the New York Conservatory for the Dramatic Arts, and led masterclasses across the country.
Michael believes that building a lasting career in theatre takes more than talent alone. Professionalism, preparation, collaboration, and a willingness to keep learning are essential to succeeding in this industry. His passion for mentorship and helping students discover their own artistic goals makes him an incredible addition to Broadway Bound NYC. We can’t wait for our students to learn from someone who has experienced Broadway from so many different perspectives!
Alexa Green | Glinda in Wicked & Broadway Recording Artist
We’re thrilled to welcome Alexa Green as a clinician for 601 Studios’ Broadway Bound NYC series in June 2027! Alexa has become one of the most sought-after voices in musical theatre, best known for her portrayal of Glinda in the Los Angeles and San Francisco companies of the hit Broadway musical Wicked. Her performance career has taken her across the country and around the world, appearing in national and international tours, regional productions, and concerts with symphonies nationwide.
Alexa has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in entertainment. She appeared alongside Neil Patrick Harris and Patti LuPone in the international cinematic release of Stephen Sondheim’s Company, filmed live with the New York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center. She has also performed with Carole King at Avery Fisher Hall, toured with Broadway star Aaron Tveit, and been featured in the acclaimed concert series Broadway Sings. Her sold-out solo show, A Shining Hour, at Feinstein’s 54 Below earned critical acclaim.
Beyond performing, Alexa is passionate about the development of new musical theatre. She has most recently worked in the studio with 16-time Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter David Foster on his upcoming Broadway projects. Her debut solo album, So Good, released by Broadway Records, received a 2016 BroadwayWorld Award for Best New Solo Recording, placing her among an impressive group of celebrated Broadway recording artists.
From bringing Glinda to life in Wicked to performing alongside legendary artists and creating new music, Alexa's career showcases the many exciting opportunities available in the world of musical theatre. We are so excited for our Broadway Bound NYC students to learn from her experience, talent, and passion for the stage!
