Today's musical theatre world rocks. Now that rock 'n' roll music
and its offshoots, including pop, hard rock, rap, r&b, funk,
folk, and world-pop music, are the standard language of musical
theatre, theatre singers need a source of information on these
styles, their origins, and their performance practices. Rock in the
Musical Theatre: A Guide for Singers fills this need. Today's
musical theatre training programs are now including rock music in
their coursework and rock songs and musicals in their repertoires.
This is a text for those trainees, courses, and productions. It
will also be of great value to working professionals, teachers,
music directors, and coaches less familiar with rock styles, or who
want to improve their rock-related skills. The author, an
experienced music director, vocal coach, and university professor,
and an acknowledged expert on rock music in the theatre, examines
the many aspects of performing rock music in the theatre and offers
practical advice through a combination of aesthetic and theoretical
study, extensive discussions of musical, vocal, and acting
techniques, and chronicles of coaching sessions. The book also
includes advice from working actors, casting directors, and music
directors who specialize in rock music for the stage.
