Some of the most popular and well-loved musicals on at the West End are ‘jukebox’ musicals, featuring popular hits, think Mamma Mia (ABBA), 9 to 5 (Dolly Parton), We Will Rock You (Queen), and The Bodyguard (Whitney Houston).

Throughout the week, participants weave together some of their favourite songs, developing characters and a story to produce a truly original piece, created by the group, led by our expert and friendly tutors.

The course includes technique sessions in all three core skills; singing, dancing and acting, alongside the development and rehearsal of the show, which is shared with family and friends at the end of the week. A chance to show off new skills and debut a truly original show!
