Musical Theater Performance II builds upon concepts introduced and skills practiced in Musical Theater Performance I. Students perform scenes in which the book of a musical is integrated with its score. Students practice scenes in duets, trios, and small groups. Students continue their development of solo and ensemble performances. The coursework culminates in a final project that integrates the following musical theater performance skills-choral singing, harmony, sight-singing, staging, choreography, and character study. Musical theater history and styles from the roaring twenties, the jazzy thirties, and the golden age of integrated book musicals are explored.

Prerequisite(s): Must be a musical theater major or obtain instructor permission.
