From London’s West End to more experimental Fringe performances, musical theatre spans the arts, inspiring and entertaining audiences around the world.
Lincoln’s BA (Hons) Musical Theatre enables students to reflect critically on performance practices, while developing core practical production skills.
Students can learn from expert staff who are practitioners and scholars trained in music, theatre, and dance. Workshops and masterclasses are delivered by visiting tutors and professionals, offering further opportunities to learn about the practical elements of musical theatre.

The following events are available for you to book, but we are also keen to offer bespoke events tailored to the interests and needs of you or your students.
Workshop 1
Title: Acting Through Song
Duration: 1.5 hours
Description:
This practical workshop introduces participants to the fundamental techniques required when acting a song. It provides insight into how acting and character-building skills can be combined with singing technique to help the performer tell a story and communicate a musical theatre song. This workshop enables the participant to experience the work that musical theatre performers undertake at the University of Lincoln.
Workshop 2
Title: Musical Theatre Dance
Duration: 1.5 hours
Description:
This practical workshop allows participants to learn choreography to a musical theatre song. As one of the core elements of musical theatre, emphasis is placed on learning a routine and translating that into performance.
Workshop 3
Title: Vocal Workshop and Contextual Discussion
Duration: 2 hours (1hr practical and 1hr discussion)
Description:
This split session first provides a practical vocal workshop, which looks at fundamentals of singing techniques. We will explore breath control, how to warm up the voice correctly, and understanding the voice as an instrument. This is followed by group work learning and performing an ensemble musical theatre song.
The discussion element follows on from the vocal workshop and encourages a group conversation about the historical and critical context of the song and the show that we have learnt in the practical session. This allows the participants to experience the combination of practical and theory work that is fundamental to the musical theatre course at the University of Lincoln.
