Perfect Pitch is a non-profit sister company to Global Musicals and is dedicated exclusively to supporting the development stages of new contemporary British musicals. Since leaving the Arts Council England (ACE) portfolio in April 2023, Perfect Pitch is run on a purely voluntary basis and funded by donations from our commercial producing partners.
Perfect Pitch and Global Musicals are at almost full capacity and unable to take on more than one or two new shows over the next 24 months. However, Andy and Wendy are keen to find ways to continue to offer support to new writing beyond the shows they themselves have the time and resources to develop and produce. They have therefore set up the following two initiatives to support new MT writing.

PERFECT PITCH OPEN SUBMISSIONS PROGRAMME – FOR WRITERS & COMPOSERS
CURRENTLY OPEN
(Run on a Volunteer basis)
We open submissions April 1st - June 1st and Oct 1st - Dec 1st. If you have a showcase or performance you'd like to invite us to during our closed period please e-mail lewis@perfectpitchmusicals.com. We try to attend those that we feel are most likely to fit our criteria but please understand we receive a large number of invites for all over the country and are sadly unable to attend everything. We do however, welcome any filmed materials to be sent through during our open submissions periods.Whilst we are close to capacity, we are hopeful we will still be able to take on one or two new shows into a development process over the next 2-3 years.
We don’t commission or chase movie/book rights for adaptation and most shows in our current and past catalogue have either come from our open submission process or from us attending an early showcase or reading of the piece.

PERFECT PITCH NEW PRODUCERS SCHEME – FOR EARLY CAREER PRODUCERS
In partnership with Stage One New Producer Scheme.
Funded by Ex-Wives Ltd, Alchemation & Global MusicalsOver the last couple of years as we've been aware we are reaching full capacity we have been brainstorming how we can support the development of more musicals outside of our own Perfect Pitch portfolio.
At the start of 2023 we began working with Stage One, who provide bursaries to new and emerging producers, to establish a way to give additional support and funding to those bursary recipients specifically looking to develop and produce a new musical.
Specifically, we can provide match funding, additional mentorship and development resources for selected Stage One recipients illustrating a passion to develop new British musicals. This will enable us to support a more diverse range and greater number of new works as a result.
If you are a producer interested in this scheme, in the first instance you would need to apply via Stage One.
All information is on their websitestageone.uk.com
In addition to the two initiatives we will also consider offering development fund enhancements or small commercial investments to some projects either from Global Musicals or Perfect Pitch.
