Ranking Musicals Instagram Campaign

We tapped into the viral social media "God Tier" ranking trend with our musical theatre students, putting some of the most iconic musicals to the ultimate test! Using the popular tier-list format, students ranked shows from the unbeatable "God Tier" all the way down to "Bad Tier," leading to plenty of passionate opinions, unexpected choices, and friendly debate.
