Description
Actor-musicianship is a distinctive feature of musical theatre, with shows ranging from village halls to international arena tours. Despite its prevalence, this form of music theatre has received little academic attention until now.
This book addresses the gap in knowledge, providing both a historical overview and practical guidance for students, educators, performers, and practitioners. It explores the origins and development of actor-musicianship, as well as offering insights into how this unique art form is created.
With contributions from leading figures in the field, including theatre director John Doyle, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of an often-overlooked aspect of musical theatre. Its diverse range of expertise makes it a valuable resource for those interested in both mainstream commercial work and alternative theatre practice.
