LAMDA’s musical theatre programmes are designed with one goal in mind: to launch you into successful careers in musical theatre from London’s West End to New York City’s Broadway and beyond. These courses focus on practical skill-building in acting, vocal development (both group and individual), and various dance styles, including tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary, and hip-hop.

MA Musical Theatre
MA Musical Theatre students explore the historical and political contexts of musical theatre under the tutelage of industry professionals. You’ll gain invaluable on-set experience, perform at the world-famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and demonstrate your talents in industry-invited showcases. Past Musical Theatre productions at LAMDA include “Into the Woods,” “Rent,” and “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
MFA Musical Theatre
Similar to the MA, LAMDA’s 18-month MFA Musical Theatre programme invites you to explore a wide range of musicals, collaborate on productions, and perform in public-facing showcases. In year two, the focus shifts to industry trends and independent research. You’ll also earn a CPD-accredited qualification in LAMDA Examinations teaching, opening up career opportunities beyond performing.
