Tisch doesn’t allow their shows to be videotaped and you will not find samples on YouTube.

They certainly put on a range of musicals of all types, including traditional, contemporary, and new works. Also, studios put on musicals.

Some traditional ones I can think of either at Tisch or in studio have been Cabaret, Sweet Charity, Bye Bye Birdie, Pippin (if you are thinking of dance-y shows). I’d have to think back but off the top of my head, these come to mind in the last few years as musicals of the sort I think you mean. Sweet Charity is this spring in fact.

There have also been more contemporary style musicals like Jesus Christ Superstar (my kid was in that), Hair, Urinetown, and Tommy.

And Sondheim…Into the Woods and Assassins (the latter is playing currently in fact).

And new musicals such as Only Children (my kid was in that).

There are lots more but am thinking of ones during my kid’s time there or since, off the top of my head.

There are also the student run musicals. My D musically directed Into the Woods as one of those and played Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors for one, for example.

At Tisch, there are many types of productions such as mainstage Tisch ones, musical cabarets, studio level faculty directed ones, GAP ones (student directed) and student directing projects, independent projects.

As well, of the students I have known there, there are some who are superb legit voices, some who are strong as beltresses, some who are expert dancers, some who are comedic,and so on. There are a mix of types. Today’s world of MT requires all these types too.
