Only one Broadway orchestrator has ever been inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.

One.

In over 50 years.

Why are the artists who shape the sound of musical theater still invisible in its legacy institutions?

What if your orchestrator wasn’t the last one brought in — but the first one you called?

At Arrival Arts Initiative, we believe that sound is not simply a technical consideration—it is a core storytelling device. And yet, in musical theater (and related media), the sonic dimension of narrative often receives the least thoughtful attention in the production process.
