Musical Theatre Studio Company

Musical Theatre Studio Company

The Studio Company is the apex of our musical theatre curriculum, an intensive and passionate performance group centred around our regular full cast productions. We are a vibrant, sociable group who share a love for musical theatre and performance.

Over a nine week rehearsal period, you will work with a Director, a Musical Director and a Choreographer, all with extensive experience in professional theatre, to produce a show you will be incredibly proud of. Each production features an extensively trained cast and takes place at a central London theatre. Move through rehearsals, dress rehearsals and finally, an invaluable taste of the London stage.

Our Musical Theatre Studio Company is a vibrant, passionate group with a rich history of producing blockbuster shows. Previous productions include Chicago, In the Heights, Lend me a Tenor, Sweeney Todd, Urinetown, Into The Woods, Company, Avenue Q and The Producers, all of which have played to sold-out audiences and rave reviews. When you join the company you become part of a supportive family, who support each other through the process all the way to the stage.

No Venue

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.
