音乐剧留学概况---申请要求
音乐剧是极具魅力的综合性表演艺术，欧美流行文化的代表。不同于单一的唱歌、舞蹈、表演，它是一种全新的文化体验，将音乐、舞蹈、戏剧表演、文学、历史、社会等各类知识结构有机的融为一体，以其绚丽的舞台形式呈现。
由于中国的音乐剧教育并不出色，因此很多学生考虑出国读音乐剧，音乐剧涉及到歌曲的表演以及独白，所以对学生的英文口语要求是高的。
出国读音乐剧专业，首先可以考虑英美，因为音乐剧的流行以及盛行，再加上得天独厚的英语环境，所以英美是大部分出国读音乐剧的学生首选。
作品集要求(以波士顿音乐学院为例)

Students must sing to live or recorded accompaniment; no a cappella singing
Songs should be filmed in a 3/4 shot, which means the top of the head to the knees should be visible in the frame
