"Musical Theatre Acting is a practical and handy resource to supplement classes and to peruse on one’s own, even in the waiting room before an audition." - Booklist

Musical theatre performers are akin to Olympic athletes. They need finely tuned minds, bodies, and spirits to perform at a high level, in some cases up to eight times a week. JV Mercanti has trained countless emerging performers in Pace University’s acclaimed Musical Theatre program. His teachings take readers through a journey of mind, body, and spirit as a way of engaging the full self when it comes to creating a performance. His extensive knowledge covers everything from script analysis and character research to auditions and rehearsals.

Musical Theatre Acting: A Practical Guide serves as a guide to the musical theatre artist, student, or professional who needs a refresher on how to hone and sharpen their skills while honoring their interpretation of the material. This is a short and accessible roadmap for the performer who knows that success in musical theatre means being part of storytelling that is wholistic and incredible.

JV Mercanti is a tenured associate professor in Pace University’s Musical Theatre BFA program. He has worked as a casting director for the Broadway revivals of Cyrano de Bergerac (starring Kevin Kline and Jennifer Garner) and Romeo & Juliet (starring Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad); as the associate director on the 2022 Emmy-winning TV production of Jesus Christ Superstar Live; and as the associate director on the Britney Spears jukebox musical Once Upon a One More Time. He is also editor of the monologue series “In Performance,” published by Applause Books.
