Musical Theatre - Studio Company

The Studio Company is our exciting Musical Theatre performance group, returning in 2019.

Previous productions include ‘Sweeney Todd’, ’Urinetown’, ‘Into The Woods’ and ‘Company, all of which had sold out houses and rave reviews!

This exciting Musical Theatre performance group rehearses and performs small-scale musicals in unique and quirky London studio theatre spaces with live musicians to a paying audience. With rehearsals on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday evenings over two months, The Studio Company aims to produce excellent Musical Theatre shows for a discerning audience.

With a whole week’s run of performances this process will be intense and rewarding, whilst still fitting around your normal working life.

Every cast member must audition for their place in each show, all cast members will have heavily featured roles.

You will work with a Director, a Musical Director and a Choreographer, all with extensive experience of professional Theatre, to produce a show of excellent quality.

WHO CAN JOIN?

The Studio Company is by audition only, and auditions will be held to form a new company for each specific production rather than for an ongoing group.

The group is aimed at performers with previous experience, who are able to act and sing to a high standard. Dance ability is not the primary focus but musicality and script work are very important as rehearsals will be fast paced and intensive. The result will be a show of professional quality. Auditions are currently closed.

AUDITIONS

You will be allocated a one hour time-slot, in which you will sing your audition song/s for our creative team. Auditions will not be performed in front of other auditionees. Auditions are currently closed.

All potential members should prepare two songs from the classic Broadway Repertoire; one Comedy/Patter/Character song, and a contrasting Musical Theatre or light Opera piece that shows off your vocal tone and range. You are not required to choose any Stephen Sondheim songs, although you are welcome to. We prefer not to hear material from the show in the first round. Your audition songs will be performed for the Director and Musical Director, and we may only hear one, or both depending on what we need. Your songs should ideally be less than 3 minutes (if they are longer, please cut them). Please bring your own printed taped or filed sheet music for our pianist.

RECALLS

If you are called back for our recall workshop, you will be notified within 24 hours of your first audition. All auditionees must be able to attend the workshop in order to be eligible for the production as we need to see all performers act and sing with other potential cast members. Material for the recalls will be sent out a week in advance to give people time to learn the scenes and songs we would like to hear. There is no charge to attend recalls.
