International Praise for Acting In Musical Theatre
ACTING IN MUSICAL THEATER helps me to figure out many questions that have bothered me for years about performing and teaching. It gives me not only a better understanding of musical theater, but also insights guiding my own career. In China, I have recommended this must-read book to my students, colleagues and friends in this circle, believing that this comprehensive and enlightening book would give them great help too.
HE Mijiang, Instructor - Communications University of China (Beijing)
Deer and Dal Vera have put forth a process where every step is connected, making the student consistently understand the emotional journey of the character. The result is more truthful, coherent and powerful scenes. The most valuable moment in this process is when the actor gains their own autonomy by understanding the character in depth. Consequently, the result is acting where the actor’s soul overflows in the scene and the art, itself. Without soul, this artform says nothing to me.
Reiner Tenente, director and founder - CEFTEM (Center for Studies and Training in Musical Theater), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
You have in your hands an extraordinary tool for the vocational training of anyone, anywhere in the world, who wishes to approach American musical theatre in all its various styles. We have achieved incredible results by teaching the techniques and methods set out by Joe Deer and Rocco Dal Vera to young students of Opera, also.
Marco Iacomelli, Artistic Director - Scuola del Teatro Musicale, Novara, Italy
Joe Deer and Rocco Dal Vera’sActing in Musical Theatreis a cornerstone of actor training in musical theatre, comprehensive in its scope, current in its examples, and practical at every turn. Unique among practitioner’ texts is the accessibility of the prose; both authors are great communicators, obviously joyful and caring about performance craft and artistic well-being.
Dr. Zachary Dunbar - Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, The University of Melbourne (Australia)
Joe Deer’s insight as a Broadway professional and his in-depth experience in higher education, alongside Rocco Dal Vera’s expertise make this a must-have book for
anyone involved in musical theatre. The new edition updates content to the last five years and provides an invaluable resource for those wanting to know about how to
approach musical theatre from the perspective of its place of birth.
Paul Barker, composer and Professor of Music Theatre - University of London
Royal Central School of Speech and Drama
A highly informed work. A complete guide to musical theatre training that can be fully understood and appreciated by the foundation student at a basic level. But, for those with more experience, it could be viewed as a guide to the psychology that traces the journey of the actor.

Academic Praise for ACTING IN MUSICAL THEATRE: A Comprehensive Course
I predict that this book will serve as the textbook for the next generation of students across the nation – perhaps as useful for the training of opera theatre students as it if for musical theatre students. The pedagogy is sound; the exercises are practical and the progression of learning systematic and no-nonsense.
David Alt, DMA - Former Chairman
Department of Vocal Performance
Frost School of Music
University of Miami, Florida USA
This book successfully addresses one of the major needs in musical theatre training and is destined to be used by every serious training program in the country.
Gregory Kunesh, Founding Chair and Regents’ Professor
Weitzenhoffer Department of Musical Theatre
University of Oklahoma, USA
At last, a book that assists us in guiding our students to inhabit characters in musicals organically! A major milestone in musical theatre pedagogy.
Robert Barton, Professor Emeritus
Former Head of Acting
University of Oregon
Author of Acting: Onstage and Off
Acting in Musical Theatre covers it all - acting, musical terminology, style and auditions. It is a must-have resource for all teachers and students of performing in musical theatre.
Mary Jo Lodge, Professor of Theatre
Lafayette College, USA
With clearly delineated chapters and units, Deer and Dal Vera break down the complex terrain of musical theatre into digestible bits. Whether you are a fledgling musical theatre artist or a seasoned professional, this book offers an array of insights, suggestions, guideposts and exercises which you will find invaluable.
Michael Ellison, Head of Musical Theatre
Bowling Green State University, USA
A great handbook for the serious student. Relevant for all stages of development.
Kathleen Savage, Performer's College, Essex, UK
A lively, engaging read that, as a comprehensive guide to acting in musicals, fills a heretofor empty niche.
Judith A. Sebesta, University of Missouri-Columbia, USA
I have found it to be a source quite unlike any other, both in its comprehensive scope and its spot-on perspective. I have no doubt that your methodology would greatly enhance the BFA training that we are doing at Missouri State.
Michael Casey, Missouri State University, USA
Indeed a terrific book!

Professional Praise for ACTING IN MUSICAL THEATRE: A Comprehensive Course
"This is the book we have all been waiting for! This book makes the textured work involved in the technique of acting in a musical more of a game and exploration than a chore. Whether for the beginner or the experienced professional, the student or the teacher, the fan or the critic, this text is a must-have and a must-read."
Victoria Clark, Tony Award-winning actress, The Light In The Piazza
A comprehensive and thought-provoking guideline to the study of performing on the musical stage. I found it fascinating and functional, and I am sure you will, as well.
Tom Jones, Tony Award-winning author/lyricist of The Fantasticks, 110 In The Shade and I Do, I Do!
I’m sure this book will be a valuable resource in nurturing the development of many actors.
Lynn Ahrens, Tony & Olivier Award winning author/lyricist - Ragtime, Anastasia, Once On This Island
Finally! THE method for acting in a musical has finally arrived! Beautifully articulate and no-nonsense. Deer and Dal Vera have de-mystified with articulate clarity a fully internalized, assimilated, and yet somehow flexible approach to the actual method of rehearsing, performing, and auditioning for the musical theatre. From the fundamentals of acting in musical theatre, through a sound unearthing of an easy-to-use analysis and structure for the score and libretto, all the way to how to maintain a "winning attitude" about oneself and their craft--Deer and Dal Vera have said it all (and then some) in this gift of a text for musical theatre. This book is a must have!
Lara Teeter, Tony Award Nominee On Your Toes
Head of Musical Theatre, Webster University, USA
This book helps those of us who’ve been doing this SO long really have a comprehensive way of breaking down the ideas to share with students. In fact, it’s a wonderful tool for both the teacher and actor side of me. The numerous examples and exercises help support the ideas as they are presented, and the content is so thorough that it allows one to fully immerse themselves in our very special and complex art form.

Critical Praise for ACTING IN MUSICAL THEATRE: A Comprehensive Course
