Question
um...i wont to know how do i get in to a musical i really want to but in school we don't do those types of things it is more of an math school but any way can you help me


Answer
Hi Emz...Thanks for writing.  Good question.  

Well, check your local newspaper or library or theatres or your community online.  Look for musical theatre opportunities to audition for.  And then audition for them.  

If you don't have any experience with music or with theatre, then start with taking voice lessons and taking acting lessons.  

And then audition with a 2-3 minute musical piece wherever you can.  Do your best with each audition and learn from each.  Eventually, you will get a part.  

I hope that helps.
