FAQs: 

Q - I was lightly traumatised by online learning in lockdown - how will this be different? 

A - Jonathan has picked all the great things that we enjoyed from online learning. He will be delivering the course in short, interactive and entertaining lectures. Expect quizzes, videos and lots of (voluntary) audience participation! Other huge pros about online learning are that the classes can be attended from anywhere, money can be saved from not having a venue, no driving in the dark, it's better for the environment...need I go on? We will have a fantastic and enriching learning experience and you can have a front row view (no packets rustling, muttering or pesky mobile phones going off...) Please note - this is NOT an online choir!!!

Q - What will be covered in the course? 

We will be galloping through the exciting history of Musical Theatre, exploring its origins around the turn of the 20th century and investigating what it looks like now. We will celebrate many different creators for the musical theatre stage from Rodgers and Hammerstein in the 'Golden Age' of Musical Theatre, to the technical wizardry (and higher ticket prices) of Andrew Lloyd Webber's pre-millennial era to the modern day with creators like Lin-Manuel Miranda, Michael R. Jackson and Sara Bareilles to name but a few. Expect to learn about how the history of society has reflected what we see on stage, what makes a captivating story and learn some useful vocal techniques as we see how musical styles have evolved (and continue to evolve) over time. 

Q - Sound utterly incredible. How do I sign up? 

A - Sign up above and make the most of our early bird offer of £45. The price will rise to £50 at the end of 2023!

Q - Who is the course for? 

A - It is open to absolutely anyone, but is designed for those who love to watch and listen to musical theatre! 

Q - Can I watch with friends? 

Absolutely - but you must pay separately. If you were in a theatre - you wouldn't be squeezed into one seat would you?
