WAAPA, VCA, NIDA???
Fri, 8 Jan 2010, 04:33 pmI'm wondering what everybodys thoughts are on the three schools I mentioned in the title for a career in Musical Theatre and if you can make contacts there and how you get auditions for Professional productions(not cruise's or theme parks) after you have completed the course. And what the chances are of getting in, for example 5 in 500.
I've heard nothing but greatness from WAAPA but I live in Melbourne:( According to my singing teacher NIDA is more for film & television. And she used to be a lecturer at VCA and it saddens her when I mention it because she says its "messed up" because Melb. Uni is trying to make it more academic. Please click on my username to see my experience. I've just turned 15 so I still have a bit of time to prepare. My Musical theatre repotoire is greater than my classical repotoire right now so I think I'm on the right track. And I've been dancing since I was 4.

I have just graduated from the Arts Academy at the University of Ballarat. Many successful people have also gone there including Josh Piterman who has been cast as Tony in the upcoming professional production of West Side. You shuld definately look into it if you are considering studying music theatre as it is one of two places that offers the Bachelor. I learnt so much from my time there. Good luck.
