Musical Theatre BA (Hons) Music

There are two degrees routes in Musical Theatre available:
The three year BA (Hons) Musical Theatre and the three year BA (Hons) Music with Musical Theatre

The three year BA (Hons) Musical Theatre is a ‘triple threat’ style programme, with a balanced mix of dance, acting and singing, and quite a heavy practical timetable. Productions, rehearsals and workshops are mostly located in a genuine off-campus theatre, working with all the resources of set, lighting, sound, costume and live pit orchestra. The course also provides opportunities to specialise in technical and behind the scenes areas like stage and tour management. Masterclasses given by visiting professionals in areas as diverse as stage combat and costume making provide exciting opportunities to work with leading practitioners.

There is production work in the first year, two major productions in year two, and on this course you can audition for the third year touring company at the end of your second year, which takes production work to different venues around England.

The three year BA (Hons) Music with Musical Theatre is designed for vocalists and is a broader musical training with a specialism in Musical Theatre. You will be involved in community outreach in year one, production work in year two, and devising musical theatre work in year three, alongside individual vocal lessons, ensemble experience and the study of different Musical Theatre styles. If you are performance focused you have the option to take dance and acting classes, and those choosing the composition route within the BA can centre Music with Musical Theatre on a training for an aspiring Musical Director.

Perhaps the most exciting thing about our Musical Theatre programmes is the involvement as teaching staff of West End professionals supporting your production work – see the department webpages (http://www.chiuni.ac.uk/music) for more details – offering you a genuinely challenging environment for the development of your skills.
