Today’s contemporary musical theatre is exploding with fresh ideas, possibilities, and opportunities; musical theater graduates are entering a thriving art form. Broadway is booming with record high attendance and employment opportunities are plentiful. While acting, voice, and dance remain the cornerstones of musical theatre training, contemporary performers must also be trained beyond the “triple threat” model. Now more than ever multifaceted musical theatre artists are in demand. Devised practice workshops and dance labs require performers to be creative contributors to project development. In addition to learning the essential skills—to sing, dance, and act—MSM Musical Theatre students are encouraged to develop their artistic interests and are given the opportunity to investigate areas beyond performing, including directing, choreographing, writing, and composing. The MSM Musical Theatre faculty is a stellar collection of artist- educators who combine exemplary teaching skills with the highest level of professional know-how. We embrace individuality and honor each student’s journey. At MSM we are passionate about the arts and the next generation of musical theatre artists.

The School is dedicated to the personal, artistic, and intellectual development of aspiring musicians, from its Precollege students through those pursuing doctoral studies.
