24 Hour Musical 2025

Ever wondered if you could put together an entire musical in just one day? Now’s your chance! The 24-Hour Musical Fundraiser is a fast-paced, high-energy event where you’ll rehearse with professional directors, choreographers, and members of the Mukwonago music department to bring a full production to life in just 24 hours.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be immersed in rehearsals—learning music, choreography, and staging in record time. But here’s the catch: you’ll be performing while the world watches! Our livestream will capture every behind-the-scenes moment, complete with live MCs, alumni interviews, and interactive challenges from our online audience. That’s right—viewers will be able to donate and throw surprise twists into the rehearsal, from silly dance breaks to unexpected role swaps.
