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.
Upcoming Show - Evita 2022
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.
ABOUT EVITA
Evita charts the young and ambitious Eva Peron’s meteoric rise to sainthood. Set in Argentina between 1934-1952, the Tony-winning musical follows Eva Duarte on her journey from poor illegitimate child to ambitious actress to, as wife of military leader-turned-president Juan Peron, the most powerful woman in Latin America, before her death from cancer at age 33.
Evita’s memorable “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” was recorded and released in 1976 followed by the complete rock opera concept album, which went gold. The stage production opened on June 21, 1978 at the Prince Edward Theatre in London with Elaine Paige in the title role and Joss Ackland as her formidable Juan Perón.

MUSICAL THEATRE COMPANY HISTORY
Our musical theatre department productions have been running since their 2012 production of RENT.
Take a look at the wealth of shows they have produced here.
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.

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.
