If musicals make your child’s eyes light up then don’t miss this course!

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).

On our Jukebox Musical course, participants work with a team of top industry professionals to create their very own piece of theatre, learning songs and dances from various genres to create something that is all their own.

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!

Participants develop their creative skills, in storytelling and group work as well as performance.  Along the way they will make new friends, share their passion for all things musical, and grow in confidence as they develop a brand new piece of theatre.

No previous experience is necessary, just a love of musicals and a willingness to give new things a try! Beginners will be supported every step of the way in a warm, collaborative and fun-filled environment, whilst more experienced performers will be encouraged to challenge themselves and improve their skills.
