February 25, 2026 By Logan Culwell-Block
Theatrical licensor Music Theatre International is expanding its Broadway Senior collection. Officially launched last year, the collection specially adapts full-length Broadway musicals to be performed by adults aged 55 and older.
Sister Act SR. and The Drowsy Chaperone SR. are expected to be available for licensing in the coming months. The company has also revealed that How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying SR. is currently in development.
The new titles join an existing catalogue that includes The Music Man SR., Guys and Dolls SR., Singin' in the Rain SR., Fiddler on the Roof SR., and Into the Woods SR.

Each show has been cut down to a 60-minute running time, with the licensing process streamlined for ease of production. The company is charging companies a flat $595 fee for everything they need to put up the show, from scripts to performance tracks and a heavily annotated production guide with notes from theatre experts on working with older performers.
“It is extremely gratifying to see the thousands of lives that have been positively changed because of Broadway Senior,” says MTI President and CEO Drew Cohen in a statement. “From the actors in the shows to the creative team and administrators supporting them to the families and friends who enjoy the performances, Broadway Senior musicals help achieve MTI’s goal of making theatre accessible and available to anyone regardless of age. We strongly encourage other licensing companies take note of how important these shows are to the larger community and invest in creating versions of their musicals for older adults as well.”
