About

Show|Ready Mobile

Features
Read full description

Show|Ready is a rehearsal app for musical theatre productions. It gives cast members on-demand access to their licensed rehearsal music so they can practice outside of scheduled rehearsals. The app is designed specifically for rehearsal use and works with licensed musical theatre productions distributed through Right on Cue Services (ROCS). How the App Works Show|Ready is a free player for rehearsal materials authorized for a specific production. After a production has been licensed, cast members receive a Viewer access code from their theatre organization. Enter the code in Show|Ready to download the production's rehearsal materials to the app. Once a production has been downloaded, users can: • Browse and play the rehearsal songs for their production • Adjust playback tempo and transpose the music to a different key • Isolate, mute, and solo vocal and instrumental parts • Navigate through songs, markers, and configured events • Follow the piano/conductor score • Receive the latest production updates when the production team publishes changes • Practice outside of scheduled rehearsals Audio Content Show|Ready show files include the following virtual MIDI instruments: • Piano • Bass • Drums • Click • Lead vocal lines* • Ensemble vocal lines* *Vocal parts are represented using virtual MIDI instruments rather than traditional guide vocals. This allows performers to clearly hear notes and harmonies while practicing their individual parts. Free Demo Try a free Show|Ready demo: • Download and open the Show|Ready app. • Tap Add Free Demo. • Accept the EULA (End User License Agreement). • Tap Activate. The demo production will download and open automatically, allowing you to explore songs, make temporary adjustments to tempo and key, view the included score, and test playback.
