The West End is coming to Crewe!

We’re incredibly excited to be piloting West End In... at the Lyceum Theatre in Crewe - a brand-new event series bringing the magic, energy and expertise of the West End directly to children all over the UK.

The morning will feature two professionally-led workshops with performers connected to major West End productions and their screen adaptations. Students will have the chance to learn from industry professionals, discover what it takes to bring a musical to life, and experience the magic of the West End for themselves. 

For our first event, students will take part in two exciting 40-minute workshops:

🧙‍♀️ Wicked – Singing Workshop
Step into the magical world of Wicked in a singing workshop led by a former Elphaba, exploring the iconic music and discovering how to bring a West End performance to life.

Laura Harrison - Singing Workshop Lead

Laura Harrison is a West End performer whose impressive theatre credits include Wicked, Sunset Boulevard, Blood Brothers, The Rocky Horror Show, Legally Blonde, Parade and Little Shop of Horrors. Laura trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and has performed a variety of leading roles across the West End and UK touring productions.

Laura has a particularly special connection to Wicked, having been part of the West End ensemble and performing the role of Elphaba, before returning to the production as Standby Elphaba. She is incredibly excited to be joining us to lead a Wicked workshop, sharing her experience, passion and love for the show with our students. She can’t wait to step into the world of Oz with them and see their own performances come to life!

🕺 Everybody’s Talking About Jamie – Dance Workshop
Learn choreography inspired by the hit West End musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and get ready to dance your way through an energetic, feel-good workshop.
