prepashow guides you without imposing a method: you work at your own pace, in the order that suits you. Above all, you save hours: everything you enter is automatically turned into deliverables ready for the big day - no more retyping into Word, no more sleepless nights.

01 - The programme

Build the show flow

Lay out the structure of your show, in the order that feels right. Everything stays editable until the last moment.

  • Acts / Pieces / Intermission

    Free

    Cut and sequence your show to structure the run-through. 100% editable and reorderable any time.

  • Pieces (choreographies)

    Free

    Detail each choreography: title, music, performers, costumes, sets, props, duration.

  • Automatic duration calculation

    Free

    The total show duration updates with every addition or change, taking into account applause and stage change times. No more Excel sheet to recalculate by hand at every reorganisation.

02 - Your directories

All your elements in one place

One sheet per dancer, per costume, per set, per music. You fill in at your own pace, you find everything in one click.

  • Dancer directory

    Free

    Sheet per student with first name, last name, photo and skill group. Each dancer is attached to the current show - a school can have different rosters from one year to the next.

  • Costume inventory

    Free

    List of all your costumes with photo and status (to make, in progress, ready).

  • Sets and props

    Free

    Everything that goes on stage: set elements, props, video projections. The list is centralised with statuses (to do, done, in progress).

  • MP3 library

    Free

    Attach audio files to each piece so you have them on hand at any time, edit them, even try several versions. Available in Free within the 10 MB total storage limit - upgrading to Premium unlocks 1 GB to host all your tracks in booth quality.

  • Ready for the next season

    Premium

    When you create the show for the new season, you import your dancers and groups from the previous show in one click - photos included. Photos are copied (not shared): you can update them on the new season without touching last year's archive. Costumes and sets, however, start from scratch: each artistic creation has its own world.

03 - The tracking

Organise the show

Match the right elements to the right pieces. At any moment, you know what's ready and what's left to do.

  • Casting

    Free

    Link your dancers to each piece. A piece sheet = the list of performers.

  • Costumes per piece

    Free

    Match costumes to each dancer and each piece. No more endless paper lists.

  • Sets and props per piece

    Free

    For each piece, the list of elements to prepare backstage.

  • Progress dashboard

    Free

    A summary view where you know at a glance where your show stands. Music, durations, casting, costumes, sets: a global gauge at the top, the breakdown by category below. For each category, the list of pieces or costumes still to be completed, with a direct link to the relevant sheet.

  • Creation tracking

    Free

    Mark each piece as "just an idea", "in progress", "ready to run", "validated".

  • Rehearsal player

    Free

    All your show's music in one player, in running order. Play it back-to-back, loop a track, or simulate the set-change time between pieces: rehearse just like on show day, without juggling files.

04 - You are not alone!

Work as a team

A show is rarely organised alone. prepashow lets you collaborate with all contributors, giving them access only to what concerns them directly.

  • Costume designer

    Premium

    Each costume has its technical sheet: track making progress, view photos of each creation.

  • Sound technician

    Premium

    The person preparing the music can upload MP3s at any time. Unsure about an edit? Possibility to upload several versions and compare them before choosing (built-in audio player).

  • Set / Props / Video designer

    Premium

    Reserved access to update the progress of creations (physical sets, video projections, props…).

  • Graphic designer

    Premium

    All the images of your show in a single ZIP, organised by folder (poster, dancers, costumes, sets, organisation logo) and properly named. To send to your graphic designer for the creation of the poster or programme booklet.

  • Tracking documents

    Premium

    Share a link or generate PDFs dedicated to each role for tracking: a precise checklist of items to produce and their progress status.

  • You can also go solo

    Free

    Most features are accessible on your own account, if you'd rather not add collaborators.
