Rooted in the wide-ranging experience of a working practitioner who specialises in directing amateur musical theatre across various different formats, it details ways to stage different types of musical numbers, through to blocking and staging a scene, as well as how to approach a text and expanding the acting skills of a mixed-ability cast. Considering the opportunities offered by different musicals, it equips you to direct shows ranging from the golden age through to more contemporary works with imaginative, sensitive and informed direction.
Featuring practical advice and exercises that follow the life-cycle of a production, this book also includes helpful charts, diagrams, templates and tools that break down the fundamental elements of directing a musical in a digestible way that will appeal to first-time, as well as more experienced, directors looking to hone and refine their craft.
