Summary
Please note this is a postgraduate course. If you wish to apply to our BA (Hons) Musical Theatre you will need to submit an application via UCAS Undergraduate.
The MA Musical Theatre Company is designed for aspiring performers who want more than traditional training. This innovative course blends rigorous conservatoire practice with collaborative, student-led creation; preparing you not only to work in the musical theatre industry, but to shape its future.
You’ll train intensively each week in dance, voice, acting, and singing (including audition technique), forming a dedicated company that develops new work throughout the year. Working alongside students from our other MA programmes, you’ll explore fresh material, experiment with new ideas, and learn directly from leading directors, choreographers and practitioners currently working in the industry.
Collaboration lies at the heart of our MA, and is what makes this course different than the other performance-based MAs in Musical Theatre out there. You will leave with not only a fully rigorous Musical Theatre training toolkit, but also a wider understanding of how to create work and be valuable part of the new work of others, which we hope will future proof your career and identity as an artist. You will work with students across our postgraduate programmes to test new ideas, gain real-time feedback, and explore your work in a variety of performance settings. Through structured R&D processes, you will develop, refine, and elevate your creative output while expanding your specialist skillset. You will also join shared modules with the School of Drama, where you will generate new work in a collaborative, student-led environment. This cross-disciplinary approach encourages bold experimentation and helps you discover and refine your unique artistic voice. Throughout the year, your developing projects will be shared across multiple performance opportunities, giving you practical experience and exposure in live creative environments.
With multiple public performance opportunities built into the programme, you’ll graduate fully prepared for professional auditions, rehearsal room demands and the realities of life as a working actor. Your final project culminates in originating a brand-new role in a contemporary musical created by a top industry writer, which you will perform at the Leeds Theatre Festival, giving you a standout professional credit before you even leave the course.
Step into a training environment where you perform, collaborate, and create at a professional level from day one.
