I am currently looking at Fordham University in NYC does anyone have anything to say about their musical theater or drama program?

No but I'll be attending there (FCLC) as a transfer this fall. I'm just not going to be in the theater department.
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

I had a really amazingly talented friend who hated it and switched after a semester. I think he was a fluke though and I would definatly check it out if I were you. He ended up switching to a smaller school where he could be a "bigger fish". So go with that in mind. Its a fairly large school and competitive - but worth looking in to.

My best friend went to Fordham (in the Ailey dance program however). She took a couple musical theatre classes and I attended one of them on a visit, and it was awful. I also attended a production of Blood Brothers which was pretty amateur. I would look elsewhere for a theatre school. That's my opinion.
From the evil she done Lord
Set her free, Set her free, Set me free
Don't let my sorrow
Make evil of me

Whatever you do, stay away from the theatre program at Hunter College.

Fordham doesn't have a M.T. program for undergrads. Don't know about grads, though.

It's a pretty comprehensive acting program. It's got a great teaching staff. I don't think there is MT either.
The acting program is at the Lincoln Center campus and like someone said it's very competitive.

NYU. Tisch School of the Arts is what is renowned for theater but Steinhardt's M.T. program is very up and coming. Other schools in NYC you should look at: Juilliard, The New School and Marymount Manhattan College.
