Hi,

I may be moving to Sydney, Australia in the near future and so far can't find much in the way of Musical Theatre programs. My preliminary online research hasn't produced anything. Univ. of Sydney has a Performance Studies Program, but it's very research focused and not the direction I'd like to go in.

Are there any Musical Theatre university programs in the Sydney area that people know of? ( Seems odd that there wouldn't be ANY.)

Thanks!

NIDA offers a one year Singer Dancer Actor course but that is the only one I know of (I'm not from NSW). The major MT program in Aus is at WAAPA in Perth.

There is the Sydney Theatre School but it is not a university program.
The top programs in Australia are WAAPA and the Victorian College of the Arts (University of Melbourne) - both BFA of Musical Theatre programs.
