Off Broadway On Campus was formed to provide a venue for University of Rochester students to perform musical theater and be able to bring musical theater as a form of entertainment to the University of Rochester community as a whole. The group strives to bring musical theater shows to life in a professional fashion, while having fun and exploring its members' individual talents.
OBOC is the University of Rochester's longest-running musical theater group. Each semester, we present a musical revue with numbers from a great variety of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. The revues are produced, directed, choreographed, accompanied with a pit orchestra, musically arranged, costumed, and performed entirely by students. Auditions play a role in casting several smaller numbers, but the group is open to anyone who enjoys musical theater. Currently, our ranks has swelled to over seventy singers, dancers, and musicians! We put on musical revues every semester comprised of around 16-20 songs, all from different musicals. Our fall revue generally happens around mid-November while our spring revue happens around mid-April. A song may not be used more than once every four years to ensure that every revue while at the University of Rochester is a new and fun experience for everyone involved!
