WEST END WORKSHOP 🎭🎼
Here’s a Oli performing The Smell of Rebellion from Matilda the Musical.
Join The Straw Yard’s very own West End Performer, Oli Brooks for a fabulous day of musical theatre!
Seriously, you will laugh all day!
Oli has been working in professional theatre for 20 years and will teach you the songs, scenes and steps from two globally renowned musicals…
Matilda the Musical
and…drum roll…
Hairspray!
.
This is a brilliant opportunity for you to learn what it takes to be a performer in the West End and on Broadway.
You will get to sing some of the fantastic songs from these two iconic shows, as well as learning some of the choreography and working on the scripts under Oli’s professional direction.
He will share some of his tips & tricks in how to hone your unique performance skills…and he might even share some behind the scenes (or BTS as the kids say) knowledge and funny backstage stories as well!
Oli played multiple roles, including Miss Trunchbull in The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Matilda the Musical in the heart of the West End for two glorious years. He then went on to play Edna Turnblad in the Broadway version of Hairspray, performing in America and for Royal Caribbean Productions.
This workshop is for people aged 18 years and above.
You do not need to be a professional performer to take part, but it would be great if you have a real interest and passion for musical theatre!
This is for all abilities, whether you simply just LOVE musicals or you are wanting to work professionally in the musical theatre industry, this workshop is for you!
