Musicals - Vocal scores

Vocal scores for musical theater works are all classed in M1508. Full scores of musicals are generally not available. Scores are arranged alphabetically by composer's last name. If there is more than one score by a single composer, collections come first, then shows are arranged alphabetically by title.

 

Example: Sondheim's Into the Woods vocal selection

More Information

Please see the guide to Musicals and Musical Theatre for detailed information dedicated exclusively to musical theatre.

The course guide for MTR210, Musical Theatre Repertory, contains detailed information on finding vocal scores, librettos, and cast recordings--while developed to assist with song preparation and the research project for that class, much of the information will be helpful for anyone looking for musical theatre scores and resources.
