Synopsis

An accessible and engaging second workbook on musical theatre, presenting students with the next steps for extending their skills in acting, dancing and singing. Filled with imaginative practical and theoretical exercises, this workbook reveals the anatomy of musical theatre and offers inspiration, challenges and companionship along the path to successful performance. In so doing, it enables students to structure their time and hone their abilities, so that they can achieve their full potential in what is seen as an exciting but intimidating field. Through this interactive approach, students are  challenged  to take responsibility for their own learning and development, by closely examining the acting, singing and choreographic demands of musical theatre.

This is an ideal text for undergraduate students on Musical Theatre degree programmes, and general Theatre and Performance programmes where optional modules on Musical Theatre are offered. In addition, this resource is well suited to students taking accredited and non-accredited Diploma courses in Musical Theatre.
