What does the competition prepare you for?
The competition places you within the role of the musical theatre performer. Musical theatre is a form of theatre combining music, songs, spoken dialogue and dance. The emotional content of the piece: humour, pathos, love, anger, as well as the story itself, must be communicated through the words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. The role varies widely, as it may involve performing in a wide range of settings, but predominantly live theatre.
