MUSICAL THEATRE STUDIO COMPANY

AUDITION FOR THE PRODUCERS 2022

Our classes

Musical Theatre Studio Company

Musical Theatre Studio Company

The Studio Company is one of our musical theatre performance groups and is returning this Spring with performances of 'The Producers'.

Previous productions include ‘Chicago’ 'In the Heights', 'Lend me a Tenor', 'Sweeney Todd', 'Urinetown', 'Into The Woods' , 'Company' and ‘Avenue Q’, all of which have played to sold-out audiences and rave reviews.

The Studio Company is strictly by audition only. Auditions are held to form a new company for every specific production rather than for an ongoing group.

The group rehearses and performs in prestigious London theatre spaces. Rehearsals take place on Thursday, Friday and Sunday evenings over two months and the company aims to produce shows of the highest calibre possible.

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.

ABOUT 'THE PRODUCERS' BY MEL BROOKS

The Producers is a musical with music and lyrics by the legendary Mel Brooks. 

Two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich by fraudulently overselling interests in a Broadway flop. Complications arise when the show unexpectedly turns out to be successful. After 33 previews, the original Broadway production opened at the St. James Theatre on April 19, 2001, starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, winning a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards, including for Best Musical. It spawned a successful West End production running for just over two years, national tours in the US and UK, many productions worldwide and a 2005 film version.

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR VICTORIA GIMBY

My FOURTH Studio company show for City Academy and I am thrilled to be directing The Producers. It's fun, it's sexy and it's super silly. We've having an absolute ball already throwing around ideas for how best to produce this show (and I promise we'll do a MUCH better job than the characters in the show do). There are some brilliant parts up for grabs - from the cocky Max and mousy Leo to the native and ridiculous Ulla, as well as loads of theatrical types to fill out the show within the show. This show has some of my favourite songs from any show - from Springtime for Hitler, I want to be a producer and Prisoners of Love. So, if YOU'VE got it, please flaunt it at our auditions in March. We can't wait to see you there!

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.
