well, as far as good musical theatre schools go, new york is a hub for talent, but i currently am a junior at OCU(oklahoma city university). I study with Florence Birdwell, teacher of both Kristen Chenoweth and Kelli O'Harra,(amongst many others) and i like it quite a bit. We have so many opportunities to practice our craft here. we do 3 musicals and 3 operas a year, not to mention all of the big auditioners who come here to find actors and dancers.(Music Theatre Wichita, Oklahoma Lyric, just to name a couple) The training is solid all the way around and i am proud to be a student here. If you're looking for schools i'd definately say check ocu out.
if you have any questions just pm me. i'll be glad to answer anything i can.
will
