“I've been trained in dancing and I used to be quite good, though I am a bit rusty right now. But I could probably brush up in a couple of months. The funny thing is that I actually took classes from Savion Glover, who worked in Happy Feet, when I was a kid. Isn't that wild? I was part of a selected group that was brought into New York from New Jersey (which is where I'm from) to study, every Saturday: ballet, jazz and tap. It was a musical comedy group.” KidsUsedBitsClassStudyComedyGroupsFeetNew YorkMonthsCoupleRight NowDancingJazzMusicalUsed To BeBalletSaturdayBrushesJerseyFunny ThingsSelectedNew JerseyHappy Feet Author:Brittany Murphy
“When people ask me if musical theatre should be taught in music colleges, I reply that there is no need. All anyone needs to study is the second act of La Boheme because it is the most tightly constructed piece of musical theatre that there is. It is practically director-proof: you can't stage it badly because it just works too well. If you can write La Boheme, you can write anything. I would also recommend studying Britten's Peter Grimes.” PeopleIfsNeedsShouldWritingWellsAsksStudyPiecesStageTaughtCollegeDirectorsMusicalTheatreProofAsk MePeterMusical TheatreGrime Author:Andrew Lloyd Webber
