Musical Theatre and Politics Liverpool Hope University

Overview

The Musical Theatre and Politics programme from Liverpool Hope University will incorporate vocal training, acting skills and dance technique, combined to develop you as a fully-rounded performer and realise your individual potential.  

The aim of the musical theatre course at Hope is to create an ensemble theatre company, helping to develop your professional practice and awareness. Through the study of musical theatre history, you will develop your understanding of the genre, and explore a wide range of musical styles and repertoire, in both an individual and ensemble setting. This is also supported by weekly 1-1 singing lessons, in which you will strengthen and develop your vocal technique, as well as learning about the importance of vocal health. Your practical work is supported by weekly tutorials and lectures to assist in the development of your academic writing and analytical skills.

The course is led by a team of Musical Theatre specialists, who have first-hand production and performance experience - both in the West End and regional theatres - ensuring our students receive up-to-the-minute insights and guidance, as well as the opportunity to work with external professionals.
