How many people made the Tisch musical theater Program at NYU in 2008? How many people auditioned? Thank you so much for the help! =]

I would call the school to find out. I’m not even sure they list it by the programs, but just overall in the university. Good Luck!

I’m looking to go over seas to europe to study musical theater but I have no idea where to start.

In the UK there are several drama schools which do a musical theatre course. Mountview, in London, has a good reputation and is one of the few Equity accredited establishments. There are also many colleges and universities that do musical theatre across the country.

I don’t know about the rest of Europe but as you seem to be english speaking, the UK is probably your best bet.

Websites to look for courses and schools would be
www.hotcourses.com (for all courses)
http://www.ncdt.co.uk (for accredited drama courses)
www.ucas.ac.uk (for general info on universities and studying in the UK.)
www.mountview.org.uk (drama school mentioned above)

Good luck

I’m a classical singer. I went to college and majored in Music (vocal/classical.) I’m now continuing my studies and I am beginning to get into some musical theater. My vocal coach told me to pick a piece that I would like to work on. Idk any musical theater peices that would be good for me. I am a soprano. Since it’s musical theater and I would be belting would I pick something lower? What would be some good songs to work on?

The Singer’s Musical Theatre Anthology – Volume 1, Revised – Soprano

this book has plenty of good stuff, be careful if you go to auditions though not to pick an over done song. even if you can blow it out of the water no one will listen because they’ve heard it a thousand times before. (No Les Miserable, think of me, I could have danced all night, My funny Valentine, etc.)

I am taking voice lessons and I have the option of doing either classical or musical theater. I do musical theater and choir! What should I choose? Thanks!

What is the one you really love? If it’s music theatre, you will need to take dance lessons, and if it’s that or opera, you need to be able to act as well.

You are off to a good start by knowing that music theatre and opera voices are very different. Where does your voice feel most comfortable? It’s your voice. You know it better than anybody else in the world. You know your personality and how you really feel.

It’s your choice. If you try to do what someone else says is better, is it really better for YOU?

I probably only need to take acting classes but, would look better on a resume that you took musical theater classes because it’s acting classes with other things mixed in?

musical theater is a good choice because it incorporates acting as well as singing and dancing. i would suggest musical theater classes but either one is a good way to go

I will be auditioning for "Little Women" and the audition calls for a show tune or ballad. I am new to musical theater (primarily in opera usually) so I am unsure of what would be good.

What about "I’ll Know" – Guys and Dolls?

"I’ll Know" from Guys and Dolls is a duet, so I’d not recommend it unless you have an alternate arrangement that eliminates the part for the other singer. Although singing both parts could demonstrate a very wide vocal range, but it would be a bit schizo and slapping yourself at the end of the song and storming off would be a bit tricky.

What college offers dance and musical theater as double majors? Thanks.

It’s because I want to be a actor when I grow older, and my parents say I can either take a musical theater class, or acting class, I don’t know what to choose! Now next year I’m going to audition again for a incredible art school for 10th grade, and they do theater, and the school is my dream school. What should I do, and what are the difference in the classes? Thanks! =]

Musical Theater comprises dancing, singing, acting as opposed to just acting. I hope you get the opportunity to do them both, but I think that which you choose should depend on your interests and how much experience you have acting. good luck

I really want one for musical theater, acting, dance, or playwriting/composing.

It can be anywhere in the US.

It needs to be no longer than about 3 weeks, and must be overnight, and the price must be reasonable.

any suggestions? links would be great!

It really is amazing. Two weeks long. 1,495$ (room and board included)

I learned so much and had a wonderful, unique experience!

if you are the people to be interested in sponsoring a unique musical theater work, please contact me. highly recommended work,
very timely.
workshop in planning stage.

Perhaps you should include a link that tells us a bit about you and your theatre company, most of the users on here are not wiling to randomly hand out cash especially since you are asking a group of struggling artists, I strongly suggest grant writing and holding local fundraising events.
