Musical Theatre Company

Our Musical Theatre Company is a unique opportunity to take to the stage in a central London theatre. Learn your craft in musical theatre as part of a performing ensemble.

The Musical Theatre Company is one of our longest running companies. They have been performing together for just over a decade, since the first production of Rent in 2012. Since then, this ongoing group performs twice a year, a Christmas musical theatre-themed pantomime and a full musical production in the summer. These are both staged in a large theatre with full technical production, a professional environment with an expert creative team consisting of a director, musical director and choreographer.

The company is a welcoming, fun and passionate group who love musical theatre, and new members are welcomed with open arms!

What will I achieve?

  • Perform twice a year in a lavish summer production and Christmas pantomime
  • Learn the art of performing musical theatre through extensive rehearsals and training
  • Integrate singing, dance and acting, exploring the dynamic between all three elements
  • Light up the stage in a central London theatre

Useful information

Rehearsals take place once a week, giving participants the flexibility to balance training with other commitments. You can choose from Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday evenings, depending on what suits your schedule best.

Performances take place twice a year during dedicated show weeks at a central London theatre, in front of a public audience. The show will usually run multiple times throughout the 'show week' giving you lots of opportunities to perform on stage.

The Musical Theatre Company has two annual intakes. To join, you must have completed both of the following courses: Musical Theatre Beginners, Musical Theatre Improvers. These courses ensure you have the foundational skills and experience needed to participate fully in the company. There is no additional audition required—completion of the prerequisite courses guarantees eligibility to join.

On occasion we do consider students who have performance experience outside of City Academy, if their level is high enough. To join the company without attending our courses, please email a video of you performing a musical theatre song to piano or a backing track to our team at abi-mt@city-academy.com. You will be contacted and advised of the next steps.

Our Upcoming show

Our company is currently rehearsing for Young Frankenstein a musical comedy by Mel Brooks, based on his 1974 film. It follows Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, who, after inheriting his grandfather’s castle, decides to continue his family’s work and create a monster. Filled with humor, catchy songs, and classic horror, it’s a fun and entertaining show.

Come and see them in action from 7-13th July 2025 at The Posk theater Hammersmith, you can BOOK HERE

Our Upcoming show

Our Next Production: TREASURE ISLAND

A swashbuckling adventure filled with fierce fun for the whole crew! Set sail with young Jim Hawkins on a perilous quest for pirate gold. Will Jim and his mates, with the help o’ the mystical sea fairy Aquarani, claim the treasure first? Or will that scurvy dog Long John Silver, doin’ the devilish biddin’ of the dreaded Davy Jones, snatch the loot for himself? With ghosts, lost shipmates, and buccaneers aplenty, expect mayhem, mirth, and a touch o’ danger as our fine cast brings this legendary tale to life! So, don’t be a lily-livered landlubber—grab yer space now, or be cursed to miss the grandest adventure ever to sail the stage! Yo ho ho, and aboard The Hispaniola we go!

Rehearsal and show Schedule

Our next rehearsals start on the 28th, 29th, 30th July 2025.

Depending on what night of the week you would prefer to rehearse, we have three separate groups you can join. You can choose to join the Monday Company, Tuesday Company or Wednesday Company. All rehearsals start in the same week and culminate in a show at the same time, the only difference is the date you rehearse.

In order to put on a production of the highest calibre possible, we expect a high level of dedication, hard work and commitment. We appreciate our company members have busy lives, however practice at home and commitment in order for it to be a success, so we do ask that you attend as many rehearsals as you can.

Theatre: Bridewell Theatre-14 Bride Ln, City of London, London EC4Y 8EQ
