Our Current Projects
We have several projects in development, on Broadway, West End and around the world. These are just some of them. We also have a number of non-public projects in development which we CANNOT wait to share with everyone!
Founder Jason Turchin is also owner of TBIC Music Group, a new record label focused on producing Broadway, Off-Broadway, and developmental albums, as well as giving new and established artists a platform to release music worldwide. Projects include the new Electro-Swing musical, Whisper Darkly, and the studio album of The Nutty Professor the Musical, the last musical written by Marvin Hamlisch-Rupert Holmes.
Jason is co-producing Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical, a hilarious parody based on the hit Netflix show, which recently extended its run Off-Broadway. He is also co-producing Without You, the new Off-Broadway show by Rent's Anthony Rapp.
Some upcoming projects include co-producing May We All, a new country jukebox musical from Country Music Super-Duo Florida Georgia Line and Lively McCabe Entertainment, in association with BMG, and co-producing the new hilarious comedy, When Playwrights Kill. We recently had a presentation featuring Tony Award® nominee Jeremy Jordan (Newsies) and Harriet Harris (Thoroughly Modern Millie), written by Matthew Lombardo (Looped) and directed by Noah Himmelstein (The Lucky Star). We also have investments in The Griswolds' Broadway Vacation, the hilarious Broadway musical based on the hit Vacation franchise.
Not only do we look at investments, our members often get invitations to private industry-only readings and networking events, networking opportunities and educational events. We also work with several theaters where we have opportunities to develop shows together.
As Broadway investors, we often spread investments out over several productions. We have a number of contacts in the entertainment industry and look for opportunities that we think have strong potential, but ones which we can also be passionate about. If you are an accredited investor who shares our love of theater and the arts, we'd love to discuss working with you. You can contact us here.

Why invest in Broadway?
Broadway investing is a very risky investment, but it can also be extremely fun and rewarding. Some benefits of investing in Broadway shows that we love:
-
Opening Night - Often, investors in Broadway shows get exclusive tickets to the show's opening night show. These tickets are usually reserved for media, producers, and industry professionals.
-
Opening Night Party - After the opening night show, many Broadway shows have extravagant opening night parties with celebrity guests, industry professionals to mingle with, special cast or guest performances, and opportunity to meet the cast.
-
Access to House Seats - House seats are often some of the best seats in the house, reserved for guests of the cast and company. Often, we are able to get house seat tickets to shows we invest in.
-
Backstage Tours - Some shows allow investors or producers access to backstage tours of the theater after performances. This is great for friends and family who come see the show. They could get a backstage tour from one of the cast members after meeting them at the stage door, and get pictures taken on stage after the show.
-
Access To Invest In Other Broadway Shows - Most Broadway shows do not advertise for investors. Lead producers will often reach out to their inside team of co-producers and investors for their Broadway shows. These are usually accredited investors and producers who have been vetted to invest and may get offered the investment before anyone else. Investing in one show could help get an investor's foot in the door to gain access to other shows.
-
Show Merchandise - Investors and producers of Broadway shows may get signed merchandise, like an autographed cast poster, exclusive opening night gifts, shirts, hats, playbills, and more.
-
Meeting The Cast - By being a part of the production, investors and producers often meet cast members. We've made some great friends over the years from shows we invested in.
-
Making Like-Minded Friends - We have a passion for theater. Through investing, we've met lots of other individuals, couples and families with a similar love for theater and supporting the arts. Some of the people we met through theater investing have become our closest friends.
-
Dress Rehearsals - As an investor or producer, you may get invited to dress rehearsals to see the show before the public. This is sometimes referred to as "Invited Dress".
-
You Can't Lose More Than You Invest - Some businesses share in the profits and the losses, but most Broadway shows allow you to invest money and limit your risk to what you put in.
-
You Can Make A Lot Of Money - Theater is a very risky investment. There are estimates that 4 out of 5 shows never recoup the investment. However, in the shows that do see returns, they could be huge. It is said that you can't make a living on Broadway, but you can make a killing. Shows like Wicked have seen returns of more than 1000% of the investments, and continue to pay money to its investors year after year!
-
You Could Win A TONY Award! - Yes, that's right. Broadway shows may have several co-producers. If the show wins a Tony Award, each above the title Co-producer is typically credited as a Tony Award Winner, and may be able to take home an actual Tony statue! Same goes for Tony nominations. If the show is Tony nominated, the co-producers can become Tony-nominated producers.

Investing in the Broadway community!
Most Broadway shows are only open to accredited investors and those with whom they already have a relationship with. These are typically done through private offerings. We often have opportunities to work with new investors.
