team of Broadway professionals from New York City, with connections
to such shows as Legally Blonde: The Musical, Adams Family Musical,
Wicked, Next To Normal, In The Heights, Rent,and South Pacific, to name just a few.
TAKE IT FROM THE TOP was developed by (2007) Tony
Award nominee and Legally Blonde star Laura Bell Bundy and
Broadway star Paul Canaan. “I saw a need to reach out to
these aspiring performers and give them a leg up.” Canaan says,
“I’ve always been passionate about musical theatre. Teaching
is an opportunity for me to give back and have a blast doing it.”
Participants learn the craft of musical theatre with basic to
advanced skills, industry history and practical content in an
exciting, fast-moving, interactive setting. TAKE IT FROM THE
TOP offers participants a chance to experience Broadway with
the pros. Learn, work and sharpen your skills in a creative, fun
and supportive environment. If you ever wanted to be on a

brains of the people who are doing it!
