There is a lot of decent information in How to Make it in Musicals, but most of it is aimed at children who are interested in being performers when they're older. For adults pursuing a career change, a good amount of the specific information is either mostly irrelevant or mostly unhelpful. In terms of general information, such as general skills or training needed, the book is good, but a completely indispensable guide to a career in musical theatre this book is not.

How To Make It In Musicals is a fantastic book for anyone who's interested in a career in musical theater.It starts at the very beginning with choosing the right dance studio and goes all the way through college to contracts, agents, managers and even the unions.This would also be a helpfull guide for parents whose children have an interest in the performing arts.

If any parent that has a daughter or son that is wanting a career in theatre must read this book, the younger the better. Have your daughter or son read it also. Our daughter at the age of 11 said she wanted to be on Broadway. Her mother & I thought we did the best at helping her pursue her dream. We wish we had read this book back then. After reading this book recently we found out the positive things we did and things we needed to be aware of that would have helped prepare her for her career. Our daughter is now in her second year of College at the University of Miami, majoring in Musical Theatre. The wealth of knowledge that we have gained from this book has better prepared our daughter for what she needs to continue to do to have a career in Theatre. Throughout her career this book will continue to guide and help her at different stages in her career.
