Musical Theater Poetry & Lyric Analysis
Step into the spotlight and discover the magic behind Broadway’s most iconic songs! Each week, we’ll break down the lyrics of a different Broadway show tune, analyzing how they tell stories, evoke emotion, and bring characters to life. Through engaging discussions and creative exercises, we’ll uncover the role of metaphor, imagery, rhyme, and rhythm in musical theatre storytelling.
✨ This is an ongoing, subscription-style class—students can join or drop at any time since each week features a stand-alone song! ✨
Whether you’re a Broadway superfan or brand-new to lyric analysis, this class offers a fun, accessible way to understand the craftsmanship of songwriting. Together, we’ll explore how these songs fit into their musicals, enhance plot and character development, and transport audiences into unforgettable worlds. Perfect for aspiring writers, theatre enthusiasts, and anyone who loves a good show tune!
