音樂劇是極具魅力的綜合性表演藝術(shù)，歐美流行文化的代表。不同于單一的唱歌、舞蹈、表演，它是一種全新的文化體驗(yàn)，將音樂、舞蹈、戲劇表演、文學(xué)、歷史、社會(huì)等各類知識(shí)結(jié)構(gòu)有機(jī)的融為一體，以其絢麗的舞臺(tái)形式呈現(xiàn)。
由于中國的音樂劇教育并不出色，因此很多學(xué)生考慮出國讀音樂劇，音樂劇涉及到歌曲的表演以及獨(dú)白，所以對(duì)學(xué)生的英文口語要求是高的。
出國讀音樂劇專業(yè)，首先可以考慮英美，因?yàn)橐魳穭〉牧餍幸约笆⑿校偌由系锰飒?dú)厚的英語環(huán)境，所以英美是大部分出國讀音樂劇的學(xué)生首選。

聲樂
Students should prepare two contrasting pieces. We would like you to prepare Option A from the Common Pre-Screen process:
One song should be a ballad and one song should be an uptempo
One song should be written prior to 1970. This song can be either the uptempo or the ballad (student’s choice).
One song should be written after 1970 and contrast the style of the first (can include jukebox musicals)
Each song file should be 60-90 seconds (this time limit includes the slate at the beginning of the piece and is strictly adhered to; please do not upload media files longer than 90 seconds)
Students must sing to live or recorded accompaniment; no a cappella singing
Songs should be filmed in a 3/4 shot, which means the top of the head to the knees should be visible in the frame
表演
We would like you to prepare Option A from the Common Pre-Screen process:
One 60-90 second contemporary monologue (written during the 20th Century-present) from a published play. This time limit includes the slate at the beginning of the piece and is strictly adhered to; please do not upload media files longer than 90 seconds.
The contemporary monologue should be filmed in a “close-up” shot which means the top of the head to the chest should be visible in the frame
Monologues cannot be from musicals, television shows, or movies
Each monologue file should be 60-90 seconds in length (this time limit includes the slate at the beginning of the piece; please do not upload media files longer than 90 seconds)
