Product Description
Review
'Though I attended a highly respected drama department for six years (two degrees), there was never a single course offered having anything to do with musical theatre. Therefore, I am all the more impressed by Acting in Musical Theatre, which gives a comprehensive and thought-provoking guideline to the study of performing on the musical stage. I found it fascinating and functional, and I am sure you will, as well.' – Tom Jones, Tony Award-Winning Author/Lyricist of The Fantasticks, 110 In the Shade and I Do, I Do!
'At last a book that assists us in guiding our students to inhabit characters in musicals organically! A major milestone in musical theatre pedagogy.' – Robert Barton, Author of Acting: Onstage and Off

Whether you are a fledgling musical theatre artist or a seasoned professional, this book offers an array of insights, suggestions, guideposts and exercises which you will find invaluable.' – Michael Ellison, Bowling Green State University, USA
'Acting in Musical Theatre covers it all – acting, musical terminology, style and auditions. It is a must-have resource for all teachers and students of performing in musical theatre.' – Mary Jo Lodge, Lafayette College, USA

'Beautifully articulate and no-nonsense. A gift of a text for musical theatre.' – Lara Teeter, Tony Award Nominee: On Your Toes. Head of Musical Theatre, Webster University, USA
