MusicalWriters.com and Totally Made-Up Musicals are joining forces for a brand new cabaret experience.

Submit songs you’ve cut from a musical you’ve written or are developing.


🗓️ Submission Deadline: Monday, April 27, 2026

  • 🎵 You may submit up to two songs.
  • 🎤 Solos and duets only.
  • 📄 Piano/vocal score required (no lead sheets).
  • 🎧 Demo recordings encouraged, but not required.
  • 👥 Must be a MusicalWriters.com member to submit.

Only 7–10 songs will be selected for this opportunity.

Selected songs will be performed by local Dallas/Fort Worth talent, followed by original improv scenes inspired by the songs, created live by Dallas-based improv comedians.

⚠️ Important: Please save your answers in a separate document before filling out this form. If you log out or lose connection, your progress will not be saved.

Pro Tip: Go watch the replays of past New Works Cabarets if you'd like to "dream cast" your song with local DFW talent!
