ABSTRACT
The heart and soul of directing for the musical theatre live in staging musical numbers – the songs and dances that express high points of the story and that, frankly, make it a musical. And it’s there that a director’s ability is really tested. The emotional highs and lows in a musical are higher and lower, more lyrical, more exuberant and more stirring than almost anything you’re likely to see in contemporary drama. Your staging must meet those demands.
