Musical Theater

What Is Musical Theater?

Musical Theatre is the combination of music (singing), acting and dancing and performers in this genre are commonly referred to as ‘triple threats’. It is also one of the easiest forms of theatre to introduce people to as an audience member, as there as so many possible points of engagement.

For those choosing this path, the world of musical theatre is pretty amazing.  It allows students to grow in new ways – but it takes real work to get good at it! That said, you will never stop learning in any art form and just taking a class or two in a specific discipline isn’t really enough to qualify as Musical Theatre.
