The City Academy Musical Theatre Company gives you a unique opportunity to put all your hard-earned Musical Theatre techniques to the test, and show off your skills to friends and family!
This ongoing group offers an opportunity to perform 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, giving you valuable experience of working in a professional environment with an expert creative team comprising of a Director, Musical Director and Choreographer.
This is an on-going weekly group for which you pay a monthly membership fee which will entitle you to participate in all rehearsals, perform in top venues to a public audience, and get involved in social events.
Auditions for lead roles are 2/3/4th and 9/10/11th August. You do not need to try out for a lead if you are happy to be in the Ensemble.
The final deadline date to join the companies are 16/17/18th August. Please email rebecca@city-academy.com with any further questions.
Upcoming Show - Peter Pan
Join us for this year’s festive production of Peter Pan. Rehearsals begin in August through to December (performances in December).
With three separate casts rehearsing on different weekday evenings you can choose the day that is right for you. With rehearsals on either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evenings, 7:00pm to 9:30pm you and your cast mates will work towards a large scale, fun, family show full of songs, jokes and dance for kids and grown-ups alike.
The performances in December will take place at London’s iconic Bridewell Theatre where tickets will be on sale to friends, family and the general public.
So warm up those vocal cords as well as the mince pies and get practising your favourite Christmas Crackers and join the panto fun for Christmas 2021.

Upcoming Show - Evita
After a 3 week Christmas break we start 2022 with a bang producing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s smash-hit musical, Evita!
Continuing with the same rehearsal process on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evenings the performances will take place in July at London’s amazing Polish Theatre with a professional live band.
With dazzling songs such as 'Buenos Aires' and 'Rainbow High', and iconic ballads 'Another Suitcase in Another Hall' and 'Don’t Cry For Me Argentina', you can step into Evita’s white dress or don Che Guevara’s beret and follow in the footsteps of Madonna and Antonio Banderas and feel the Latin passion for 2022.
ADMISSIONS POLICY
To join the Musical Theatre Company you need to have completed our Beginners and Improvers Musical Theatre courses at City Academy, or if you have performing experience, please email a video of you performing a musical theatre song to piano or a backing track to rebecca@city-academy.com. You will then be contacted and advised of the next steps. We have two intakes a year, one in January and one in August.
As a member of the Musical Theatre Company, we do expect a high level of dedication, hard work and commitment. We appreciate our company members have busy lives, however, putting on a large scale show takes a lot of hard work, practice at home and commitment in order for it to be a success, so we do ask that you attend as many classes as you can.
A few words from our students
A super balance of Choreo, singing and acting.

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
PERFORM ON STAGE
Rehearse and perform a famous Musical on stage at a theatre in central London. Previous shows include: Legally Blonde, West Side Story, Sweeney Todd and more.
All of our tutors have experience performing on the West End and their friendly and supportive teaching will breakdown the steps into bitesize chunks.
