Pitching to BEAM2025

On the 19th September 2024, our team pitched I'm Autistic - A New Musical to BEAM2025. Leonora Brooks, Edward Turner, Aileen Inglis and Olive Llywelyn pitched the show to a panel of industry professionals, with a performance by Olivia Jenkins, Lucy Kashimeri and Alexander Emery accompanied on the piano by Luka Bjelis.

We had 10 minutes to give the panel an overview of the show and its development, as well as a short performance of two songs from the show.

A few weeks later, we received some very positive and helpful feedback from the panel, and are now waiting to hear if we will be one of the few musicals selected from the 300 that were pitched to perform at BEAM2025 in May at the Birmingham Hippodrome.

Below is a video of our rehearsals for the performance aspect of our pitch, and a vlog from our pitching day.

What is BEAM2025?

BEAM2025 is a showcase of new British musical theatre, where venue reps, producers, directors and writers come together to watch around 30 new shows pitch themselves with a performance. It is a phenomenal event that gives the opportunity for new writers to make network connections and raise awareness of their material.
