Are you interested in Musical Theatre? Singing? Dancing? Acting? The combination of all three? Do you enjoy watching live theatre performances? What about getting up there and doing it yourself? If so, a Level 3 BTEC qualification (equivalent to at least ONE A level) in Musical Theatre would be the right choice for you! Musical Theatre is the crafting of a piece of entertainment combining the three performance arts, drama, dance and music. Many of the world’s favourite theatre works are in the musical theatre genre and offer a form escapism for many audiences. Through your study of Musical Theatre, you will learn skills and techniques associated with acting, dance and singing and most importantly how to craft these into an entertaining and stimulating piece of performance. You will work throughout the course as a musical theatre company, creating, marketing and performing your own showcase performances and complete works.
