This document provides instructions for a musical theater analysis assignment. Students are asked to view a filmed stage production of a musical, rather than a movie version, and write a 900-word report analyzing the storytelling, technical elements, and performance techniques. They should pay attention to lighting, scenery, costumes, sound, acting, dancing, and singing. By taking notes on intriguing or confusing aspects, and things that help connect emotionally, students will review their notes to craft a detailed essay reporting on the artistic elements and storytelling of the selected production.
