Your list looks good to me. RUTGERS might be one to add - they incorporate music into a lot of their shows and they are very focused on movement and some dance as well. I don’t think the intense BFA Acting curriculum allows for additional voice or dance instruction within their schedule. (My son takes 19-22 credits a semester so far!) Mason Gross is an Arts school though so there are endless opportunities to sing, dance and perform including cabaret, late night open mic forums, singing groups, etc. Lots of people are in bands, groups, making their own films, music and projects all the time. Syracuse - already on your list - is exactly what you are looking for too - great acting training and actors can definitely audition for and be cast in musicals. What about URI as a non audition safety? They seem to have an interesting BFA program with musical cross over (I think?)
