Musical theatre training in London

“My daughter really enjoys attending the school, she’s always made to feel welcome and part of the school and always has fun. The staff are very supportive and professional and always cater to my daughters special needs. Would definitely recommend this class to any children looking to develop their performing arts abilities.”

“Lisa and the Starmakerz team are enthusiastic and build such a positive musical theatre environment for their students! Such a wonderful school for your little ones to be apart of!”

“My daughter has been attending Pop Gems since the age of 3 years and it has been a great confidence builder for her, she has made great friends and had amazing opportunities to perform in a theatre. They are a great team of teachers who encourage the best out of all the children. They have been amazing with the communication throughout Covid-19, keeping parents and students up to date with changes and recommendations for all to return safely. I have been confident in the return to studios knowing they are going above and beyond to keep everyone safe and up to date with the every changing regulations and guidelines. The Popgems family is warm, accomodating and understanding. A perfect first time social extracurricular that im grateful my daughter is part of.”

“I can't speak highly enough about Rachel and her team at Spotlight Dance & Theatre School. My girls have been involved with Spotlight since they were young, attending the Friday classes (with some great presentations at the end of the term to see what the kids have learnt and how they are progressing). My girls are now older and attend the Saturday morning classes and they love them. They thrive on the opportunity to perform and look forward to the Musical performances and can't wait for this year's show (having missed out on live performances during the Pandemic). Their confidence has soared from the encouragement from Rachel and her team and to see them up on stage makes us all proud! Well done Spotlight!”

“Fantastic opportunities to get involved onstage and backstage. Friendly crowd, great facilities and good quality shows.”

“I have attended different courses during a two year period and every single one has been a joy, Thank you very much Leo and Associated Studios for all your help”

“Fabulous theatre school with a fabulous team Lucy, Craig, Hannah, Sophie just to name a few really go above and beyond to ensure every child has fun and learns. Always opportunities to show of their skills and also to qualify in their chosen arts along the way. I wrote this review 4 years ago after my daughter having been at ATA for almost 4 years. She’s now been there almost 8 years and it is still the most amazing place. She gains so much confidence and skill from her classes and has thrived. She has gained LAMDA and IDTA qualifications in the plenty and is now a Grade 2. Sadly this is her final year due to us moving but she has loved every minute and we wouldn’t be without them. They not only are her teachers but they become an extension of the children’s families and help them not only with drama and musical arts but also support them when life is tough and they just need someone to listen. Thank you all for being the amazing team you are. We will truly miss you all. Xx”

“Bruno In the cafe was excellent when arranging a polka afternoon tea for 7 children. Shows are brilliant too. There's a play area with costumes and colouring too. It's a wonderful establishment.”

“Well, I am judging SYTS' level because of the talent I see in famous people eho studied there. Only watching that I would say it's an excellent school and I would completely love to study there.”

“My eldest daughter has been coming here since 2009 and the younger two have just started. They absolutely love their classes and the Christmas shows are always good. Good management, good variety of classes and a diverse audience. Just brilliant.”

“A wonderful small theatre right next to west Norwood station. The building itself is rather impressive itself and internally it is rustic and fits in with the building itself. The bar downstairs was welcoming and homely and despite an issue with their cellar, they had a reasonable selection available. The auditorium has a good rake on the seating meaning that I didn't feel too subconscious that I was blocking the person sitting behind me, but not too steep that it makes it a bad viewing angle for the audience. I will definitely be adding this to the list of theatres I keep an eye out on what's going on at.”

“Always a pleasant experience when visiting. Lovely shows and comedy events..staff very friendly and helpful”

“Amazing music and drama school, right in the City of London.”

“We went to see the Addam's Family tonight with my son who is autistic. This is the first time he has been to see a stage production, and we were unsure if he would be interested enough to sit and watch it. The staff here went out of their way to help us, allowing our son to sit in on the sound test to gauge his response. He seemed fine, so we bought some tickets to watch from a location from which we could leave at short notice. When the music started our son was absolutely beside himself with joy. Fantastic acting and extremely talented singers. Thank you to all the lovely staff, the performers and production team for giving our son such a wonderful first experience in musical theatre.”

“The Shows at Miskin are incredible! The talent is insane. Absolutely amazing. Highly Recommended for a great night out, support our young talent.”

“Why be ordinary when you could be exceptional? Urdang gives the tools to become outstanding!”

“Excellent venue. Comfortable benches. Plenty of room. Good view of the stage. Decent cafe. Went with the grandson to see Dinosaur World. Will be back to see Zog and also Room on a Broom.”

“My favourite place in London. Not theatre—place. Please go and enjoy.”

“Internationally renown top performing arts college specialising in Musical Theatre with a strong dance base. Graduates enjoy long careers and are highly employable. The training is second to none and this outstanding college produces triple threat performers of the highest calibre. Graduates include Victoria Beckham, Kerry Ellis, Ben Richards, Sarah Hadland, Liam Tamne, Ruthie Henshall, Louise Dearman...”

“Just attended a fine concert, part of the St. Alban's folk Fest. The main artists were Grannies Attic and The Dovetail Trio. Both gave excellent performances.”

“Went to see Jekyll and Hyde. Great performance by the cast especially Henry Jekyll. All the staff are really friendly. Lovely little theatre, must go there more often.”

“Just been to see The Jerseys at Brookside Theatre. What a fantastic theatre and the show was amazing. Wonderfully friendly, helpful staff and we had a fantastic night. Will definitely be returning. 5 stars for The Jerseys and the theatre.”

“modern inexpensive cafe with lots of local info, dance classes and more... great breakfasts and fish and chips on friday.”

“Welcoming staff, all seats have full view, great bar prices!”

“I have been with Theater Tribe from 2019 I have learnt so much and loved it ever since. They give everyone the same amount of lines which is amazing because there isn’t one main character we all are main characters. The crew are amazing and so kind to us I am so lucky to be apart of there team!”

“My 3 girls have been bare bones members since its conception and over 10yrs later they are still loving it. They attend the weekly drama classes and Lamda and look forward to drama in the woods every Easter. Sinead and Emily are true inspirations and continuously go over and above. They care, they really do and write their amazing shows considering every member making them all feel valued and give them the ability to grow and shine.”

“My Son has been attending All The Arts in Bexley for the last 6 years. During this time he has had lots of opportunities to showcase his development with appearances on stage - in the Theatre, at festivals and much more. He has also completed 4 LAMDA and IDTA exams. Lucy and the team are extremely welcoming and friendly and Noah absolutely loves going every week. Even during lockdown, the team were so creative with offering Zoom classes and extra keep fit sessions in the mornings, and put on a Zoom end of term slide show for the parents which was amazing. Noah is also part of the agency and has had several audition opportunities and has even had a part in a short film and music video. On top of all of this, it has really helped to support his development and his self confidence. All the Arts is a great and inexpensive class - if your child is keen to join a class like this I highly recommend ATA!”

“My eldest daughter has been attending centre stage in one way or another since she was 6 starting in an after school club which was so good she asked to join the main academy which she has been at since 7 (she is now 11) and my youngest has also joined in the little ones classes. Both of my child adore centre stage and always come out of lesson beaming and full.of exciting things to tell me. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a drama/performing arts academy”

“I trained here from the age of 7 - 18... I went on to a leading performing arts school and am still working in the industry. I'm now 34 and have a little one of my own and cannot wait for him to be old enough to attend CKTS. The confidence these classes give children is invaluable in every day life! The teachers at CKTS are all wonderful two of them taught me! I wouldn't send my boy anywhere else.”
