Musical Theatre is one of the most popular of all stage productions, with shows like The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast packing theatres from Broadway to the West End. Its popularity comes from its unique combination of singing, spoken dialogue, acting and dance. In this subject, students engage with musical theatre performances and participate in a range of workshops to develop their singing and acting skills. Then, working individually or as a member of an ensemble, students rehearse and perform a piece of musical theatre for a live audience. The Musical Theatre course provides students with the foundations for further study of Music and/or Drama in Year 10 and beyond.
