Reviews
'This is the book we have all been waiting for! This book makes the textured work involved in the technique of acting in a musical more of a game and exploration than a chore. Whether for the beginner or the experienced professional, the student or the teacher, the fan or the critic, this text is a must-have and a must-read.' Victoria Clark, Tony Award-winning actress, The Light In the Piazza 'Though I attended a highly respected drama department for six years (two degrees), there was never a single course offered having anything to do with musical theatre. Therefore, I am all the more impressed by Acting in Musical Theatre, which gives a comprehensive and thought-provoking guideline to the study of performing on the musical stage. I found it fascinating and functional, and I am sure you will, as well.' - Tom Jones, Tony Award-Winning Author/Lyricist of The Fantasticks, 110 In the Shade and I Do, I Do! 'At last a book that assists us in guiding our students to inhabit characters in musicals organically! A major milestone in musical theatre pedagogy.' - Robert Barton, Author of Acting: Onstage and Off 'Deer and Dal Vera break down the complex terrain of musical theatre into digestible bits. Whether you are a fledgling musical theatre artist or a seasoned professional, this book offers an array of insights, suggestions, guideposts and exercises which you will find invaluable.' - Michael Ellison, Bowling Green State University, USA 'Acting in Musical Theatre covers it all - acting, musical terminology, style and auditions. It is a must-have resource for all teachers and students of performing in musical theatre.' - Mary Jo Lodge, Lafayette College, USA 'A lively, engaging read that fills a heretofore empty niche. The authors do not patronize, but help the student focus on those aspects of the profession under his or her control.' - Judith A. Sebesta, University of Missouri-Columbia, USA 'Beautifully articulate and no-nonsense. A gift of a text for musical theatre.' - Lara Teeter, Tony Award Nominee: On Your Toes. Head of Musical Theatre, Webster University, USA 'A very detailed, clearly structured programme of work, with a good range of contextual information to support the practical enterprise... Deer and Dal Vera are meticulous in breaking down their sections and chapters into numbered sub-sections, and ensuring that their table of contents lists all of these.' - Studies in Musical Theatre 'A great resource for musical theater acting...
