In reply to katie. Take a look at our MajoringInMusic.com Facebook post on October 12 to learn about some of the other jobs essential to a musical theatre performance. Also, you might want to check out arts administration as another option.

Hey, I was just wondering if you could suggest possible degree/career options to me! I love musical theatre (primarily singing) and pursuing it would be a dream but I just fear its too much money being risked for such an unstable career. Are there any other jobs that might pull musical theatre and singing together other than teaching it? I would consider a degree in voice performance but I don’t think of myself as a classical singer. I’m so lost, and afraid of risking everything but as afraid of regretting my decisions. Thanks in advance for your help!

In reply to Jamia. Look at the websites of schools you’re interested in applying to. They will tell you very specifically what your audition needs to include. Remember that the requirements at each school are different.

I plan on doing musical theatre but I don’t know the requirements. What do I need to have prepared If I plan to audition for something?

In reply to Sandy. We suggest looking at the application/audition requirements at schools such as those contributing to this article, and then using the forms on their pages on this website (click through to them right from this article) to ask specific questions not covered on their own sites. Ask to get some contacts of alumni who are actively working to learn more.

As a freshman in high school, what are things that I should be doing/working towards for majoring in musical theatre? What are the major requirements I should have under my belt for college?

In reply to Micah. We suggest you pick out a few schools you’re particularly interested in at this point in time, and talk with some of their faculty directly. If any of those schools participate on MajoringInMusic.com, you can use the forms on their participating school pages for that purpose. We also suggest you consider summer music programs where you can explore the dance component of musical theatre.

I have acted in 2 high school performances so far and am a sophomore in high school. I adore musical theatre and am in jazz band and concert band. However, I have not taken dance classes. I have danced in the 2 musicals that I participated in, but I haven’t taken professional classes. I don’t think that doing dance classes now when I only have 2 more years left of highschool left will do me good, and I’m worried that that will diminish my chances of getting into a musical theatre college. Any advice? Do you know of any colleges that don’t require intense dance experience?
