About the class

There are two types of people in the world: those who love musicals and those who claim to hate them, but really just haven’t seen a quality one yet. It’s the actor’s job to delight musical lovers, and convert those who just needed that “wow” experience. How? Through character, not caricature. This means performing as the character would, not just performing musical numbers. Join Tony-winning actress/singer and the first black Disney princess Anika Noni Rose as she dives into how she makes characters come to life from script to stage. Together you’ll explore what it takes to give the audience the best musical experience of their lives.
