Eliza Skinner, Musical Improv teacher at UCB who taught Jess McKenna and Zach Reino (from Off-book: The Improvised Musical Podcast), has said that the most useful thing you can do in order to get better at musical improv is to WATCH MORE MUSICALS! Class and reps are important, but we also need to be learning outside of class. Watching musicals will help a TON in order to get a better grasp on a lot of the concepts that will be brought up in class
