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.
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
FreeCut and sequence your show to structure the run-through. 100% editable and reorderable any time.
-
Pieces (choreographies)
FreeDetail each choreography: title, music, performers, costumes, sets, props, duration.
-
Automatic duration calculation
FreeThe 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.
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
FreeSheet 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
FreeList of all your costumes with photo and status (to make, in progress, ready).
-
Sets and props
FreeEverything that goes on stage: set elements, props, video projections. The list is centralised with statuses (to do, done, in progress).
-
MP3 library
FreeAttach 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
PremiumWhen 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.
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
FreeLink your dancers to each piece. A piece sheet = the list of performers.
-
Costumes per piece
FreeMatch costumes to each dancer and each piece. No more endless paper lists.
-
Sets and props per piece
FreeFor each piece, the list of elements to prepare backstage.
-
Progress dashboard
FreeA 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
FreeMark each piece as "just an idea", "in progress", "ready to run", "validated".
-
Rehearsal player
FreeAll 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.
Work as a team
