My BFF wants to get into Broadway Musical Theather. Does anyone know how to get into Musical Theather and how to find auditions? She's a really good singer/actress/dancer.

Your friend needs to make sure this is all ok with her parents first. If she hasn't already, she should start off locally. The work for a 13 year old, depending on how old she looks, is very limited. If she's booking every lead that comes her way in your area and all around then maybe broadway is her future, but she really needs to have substantial chops before making that move. She should be in acting classes, voice lessons & dance classes (a few different types).
For auditions you can look here:
www.backstage.com - do a casting search - you have to subscribe to get all the info but at least you can search for free first to see if it's worth it.
www.actorsequity.com - click on casting call (If you find the audition on the Equity site, you still may be able to go, as long as their not taking appointments from equity actor's only :-)
http://www.networkstours.com/ - click on jobs. The downside is they cast in very few areas. Usually NY or sometimes wherever the show happens to be. They also don't update very often.
www.actorsaccess.com - Has some theatre auditions as well as tv, film, etc. watch out for ads. Create a free account and click on breakdowns. You have to pay if you want to submit yourself electronically, but generally for theatre you call and make an audition appt. or it's open and you just show up.
tell her to break a leg!

Casting of younger individuals is infrequent because of paintings laws. Not an impossiblity, such a lot of it's in London or Los Angeles. If you do get paintings you want a guardian with transporation complete time. In the US you want a piece visa, a California paintings allow and a $two,500 SAG union card to paintings on a TV exhibit or film. It's as much as you to make all the ones matters occur.

Well there are many Colleges in NYC that have summer programs for kids. I would suggest taking some of those! They are extremely fun! And very informational. I am not quite sure you can be in a broadway show when you are only 13 yrs old. sorry but its true. Tell you friend GOOD LUCK!!:)

She should start off by being in school musicals.
She should also talk to her drama teacher for help for auditions.
