My first time subbing on Broadway was Rent. Jeff Potter heard about me while I was playing tick, tick... BOOM! off-Broadway and offered me a shot. I was overwhelmed, so I did what I still do before every sub gig: I prepared with intention. I told myself if I could nail that opening fill, I’d be fine. It worked. I subbed there for years.
That wasn’t luck. Most subs never get asked back, not because they can’t play, but because they don’t know how to prepare, earn trust, and manage their time in the pit.
The Broadway Sub Playbook is the system I built out of 25 years of doing exactly that, on Broadway and off. It’s built around what I call the Four-Week Formula: listening and studying the score, watching the chair holder, building your own sub book, rehearsing the setup, and running the show until it feels natural. Same five stages every time, whether there’s a month to prepare or just a few days.
It’s seven ninety-nine, less than what a single missed callback costs you.
