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