Musical Theatre
Hone your skills and prepare for a fulfilling career in musical theatre with our one-year postgraduate course.
Rigorous training will give you an in-depth understanding of the profession and equip you with the skills you need to succeed.
The Musical Theatre Department functions as a theatre company. Our day-to-day acting, voice, speech and movement tuition is taught by current practitioners, offering a direct link to the industry, with projects and masterclasses being led by top professionals.
We have created an environment in which your individuality is nurtured and diversity embraced. Opportunities to perform throughout the year are a priority, enabling you to learn by doing. Our aim is to create artists with a voracious appetite for investigation and ongoing discovery.
Recent graduate credits include Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club in the West End and on Broadway, American Psycho, Oh, Mary!, Into the Woods, Hamilton, Hadestown, Les Misérables, Wicked, The Lion King and Phantom of the Opera. Our alumni have also appeared in productions at the RSC, The National Theatre, the Almeida Theatre, the Donmar Warehouse and in tours across the UK, Europe and Asia.
I moved from New York to London to study musical theatre at the Academy and it changed my life – I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
