This course takes students on a journey through the rich history of musical theatre, from the spirited days of vaudeville to the groundbreaking productions of the 2000s. Students will study landmark shows, influential composers, and major trends that shaped the art form, while also developing practical performance skills in singing, acting, and movement. Class projects will include repertoire book development, allowing each student to build a personalized collection of audition-ready songs. By combining historical study with hands-on performance work, students will gain a deeper appreciation of musical theatre’s evolution and the tools to shine on stage today.
