臺灣新竹人。擁有紐約大學（NYU）音樂劇表演碩士學歷，素有音樂劇金牌導演之稱。導演風格擅長以戲劇的觀點切入音樂劇表演，作品中常以說話入歌、走位入舞，使所有音樂劇元素統合一體，讓音樂劇非寫實的架構在真實語文與走位中呈現。除能讓中西文化融合的作品碰撞出精彩火花外，更感動無數觀眾。

對臺灣音樂劇人才培訓不遺餘力：多次受臺中國家歌劇院、新竹文化局之邀參與課程規劃；更連續四年主理臺北表演藝術中心「音樂劇人才培訓」之課程統籌，透過聲音、舞蹈、表演、戲劇等專業技能訓練，引導學員邁向專業音樂劇表演之路，對提升臺灣音樂劇演員素質效果卓越。

近年更積極參與跨界演出，如音樂會、歌仔戲、歌劇、廣播劇、流行音樂演唱會、各類型商業演出與大型開幕晚會活動等，成績斐然。

 Chris Tseng
Chris Tseng was born in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

Currently the artistic director of VMTheatre, Tseng holds a M.M in Music Theater from New York University (NYU) and a conservatory certificate in musical theater from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA). He developed an interest in musical theater during his studies at the Music Department, Fu Jen Catholic University. Encouraged by his mentor, Professor Giulia Wang, Tseng went to the US in 2002 to pursue a certificate in musical theater. In 2004, he entered New York University for a master’s degree in musical theater, studying voice performance under world-renowned Professor Brian Gill and musical theater under William Wesbrooks, Director of Vocal Performance at NYU.

Tseng’s directorial style for musicals is marked by his expertise in approaching musical performance from a theatrical point of view. His works often feature songs interspersed with dialogue and choreography that involves blocking. His attempt to fully integrate all elements of a musical allows the non-realistic structure of musicals to manifest through the realistic language and movements of the performers.
