Musical Theatre (Teaching)

Delivered by highly experienced practitioners in musical theatre and in the specialist teaching of performance work, this course offers access from first year onwards to training in musical theatre dance, singing and stage acting and students will select a focus which reflects their strengths in these different areas.

Complementing this is the specialist development of practical skills in vocal or dance teaching – within one of the largest performance departments in the UK.

Second and third year students can opt to audition for performance projects at the Alexandra Theatre, other regional theatres and in our own campus performance spaces.

Performance projects range from large scale musical theatre with full pit orchestra set and costume to straight plays, smaller ensemble projects and dance revues and you can also develop skills in technical theatre and arts management roles in supporting performance projects
