Professional Conservatory of Musical Theatre at NYFA
The lights, the music, the soaring voices and sizzling energy — there is a reason musical theatre has become one of the most electrifying and enduring art forms in human history. The New York Film Academy’s Musical Theatre programs offer aspiring performers the one- of-a-kind opportunity to develop their skills for stage and screen in the heart of the world’s musical theatre capital. Since the inception of our unique program in 2009 and under the mentorship of a faculty whose credits range from television to lm, and from the Broadway stages and orchestras to prestigious regional theatres and casting of ces, we have continued to strengthen and support our vision and commitment to hands-on training with professional faculty.
From morning to night, NYFA workshop and conservatory students live and breathe every element of musical theatre. They act, sing, and dance in world- class facilities that include private voice rooms, state- of-the-art dance studios, and professionally-equipped recording and shooting studios. With a philosophy
of learning by doing and a passion for helping their students reach their full potential, our instructors are active professionals who know what it really takes to “make it,” with Broadway performance credits including “Wicked,” “Chicago,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “The Phantom of the Opera,” “A Chorus
Line,” “Mary Poppins,” “The Rocky Horror Show,” “Matilda,” “Newsies,” “Side Show,” “On the Town,” “Mamma Mia,” and more. Our faculty is comprised of
professionals in many areas of the business, including directors, casting directors, composers, lm and television actors, and Broadway orchestra musicians.
Since 2011, NYFA Musical Theatre’s 2-Year Conservatory has developed original movie musicals
to prepare students not only for the stage but also for careers in the lm and television industry. The New York Film Academy is the only school in the world offering aspiring professionals the opportunity to perform in original, fully produced movie musicals. Each lm consists of original music and stories that feature collaborations with industry professionals.
