Musical theatre troupe?

Colleges & Universities A-Z Yale University

I know Yale has more of an emphasis on theatre and music separately, but they recently introduced the Shen Curriculum for musical theatre, so I’m just wondering if there are any musical theatre troupes at Yale.

Duke has Hoof ‘n’ Horn, Princeton has the Triangle Club, and Penn has Mask and Wig, but it seems that the only theatre-related extracurricular in which you can participate as an undergraduate is the Yale Dramat (which normally does straight plays and Shakespeare, I think). Is there a group that puts on musicals or a musical theatre comedy troupe or anything like that?

under the yale drama coalition (including the dramat) any number of shows is put on each semester. that includes musicals. the mainstage dramat play this past semester was merrily we roll along. there are at least two musicals slated for next semester (heathers and something else (i don’t remember)). in terms of musical comedy: just add water (http://www.justaddwateryale.com/about/) is an improv group that does musical comedy.
