Double majors are not that that common with BFA programs. You might also want to explore where you can do music composition as a minor, etc.

Look into Emerson or Boston Conservatory because their students can cross register with Berklee College of Music. You might be able to take some composition courses.

Further, you may wish to look at some BM in Musical Theater programs as these are in music schools and might have some options to take music electives in composition.

Let me also put it out there that even if you major in Musical Theater, that does not preclude your composing musicals. For example, my daughter is doing a BFA in MT but she just composed a mini musical that was performed a week ago. There are some talented BFA in MT students at UMich who have composed musicals that have been performed widely. There are ways to be involved in this even if studying MT.
