Aims and Scope

 

Studies in Musical Theatre is a peer-reviewed journal and the first academic periodical in this area. We would like to invite contributions that explore any aspect of the musical on-stage or on-screen. For example:

  • opera, music theatre and musical theatre;
  • archival and production research;
  • narratives of the musical stage ;
  • historiographical perspectives;
  • musicological and dramaturgical approaches;
  • performance and performance practice;
  • approaches to training and the industry;
  • the fusion of words and music;
  • the use of music and song within ‘straight’ theatre;
  • paralinguistics and rhetorical expression;
  • negotiating the art/entertainment divide;
  • the academic study of musical theatre.

The journal also welcomes contributions from recognized practitioners in the field, which may include writers, directors, MDs, performers, coaches, etc.
