This class is full!

We're in the era of Pop/Rock musicals! You know, the ones that make you want to jump out of your seat and groove along. Pop/Rock Musical theater is a current trend and steers away from the more traditional show styles. The Pop Rock musical has more like what you'd hear on your favorite radio station. Imagine singing and dancing to tunes from your favorite singers or bands, right on stage! Well in this class- you can!

More than half of the musicals on Broadway right now have this cool Pop/Rock vibe. But making music like this isn't easy. It brings on a new set of challenges and requires different skills for actor/singers!

Come join us to grow your skill in this genre while performing some awesome songs from Hairspray, Footloose, and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. It's going to be a rockin' good time!

Prerequisite: Students must have taken at least one CYT dance, voice or musical theater class or equivalent at school or another theater or studio.

Born and raised in Bakersfield, CA, Cassidy got her start in Theater at the age of 9 when she played Grandma Fa in the local youth theatre summer program. The first time the audience laughed, Cassidy was hooked. She majored in Musical Theater at Texas Christian University, and in her sophomore year, was encouraged by staff and friends to go to New York City and go after her dreams. Cassidy has been taking voice lessons since the age of 12, and loves learning the possibilities of what the human instrument is Capable of. Some of her favorite roles include Fiona in Shrek, Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray, Lily in the Secret Garden, and Miss Andrews in Mary Poppins. Since moving to Austin in August, Cassidy has been the Music Specialist for Challenger School in Avery Ranch, and she loves teaching her students all about what true musicianship looks like. Prior to her move, Cassidy owned her own private voice studio, Performer Up Studios. When not working, Cassidy loves to serve at Celebration Church, sharing her love of Jesus with others, and playing board games with her friends.
