COURSE OVERVIEW

Drawing on the Academy’s singing staff, together with associated musical directors and choreographers, the RADA Musical Theatre course has rapidly achieved a distinguished reputation among musical theatre professionals. It offers a rigorous and intensive week of training for the reasonably experienced actor/singer and the professional alike.

The course is aimed at intermediate and advanced level singers/actors who have already received some formal vocal training and who are intending to pursue a career in Musical Theatre.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

You will develop the skills necessary for a successful career as a singer/actor in today’s Musical Theatre world, working on new material given to you during the course. You will work on solo pieces, a duet or trio and an ensemble number.

You will be given guidance on casting and with developing your audition repertoire. At the end of the course students will perform selected pieces at an informal presentation for an invited audience. This will be followed by individual feedback.
