Musical Theatre Dress Rehearsals for Schools
We offer school groups the opportunity to experience a dress rehearsal for our Musical Theatre productions.
With a limited number of free tickets on offer, for eight shows across the year, these are a fantastic and accessible opportunity for your students to experience a professional production and be inspired to continue their own performing arts journey. Each dress rehearsal offers secondary school and further education (FE) college students the chance to see future stars of the West End and get an insight into the workings of a professional production.
Urinetown
2 December 2024 at 19:00 and 3 December 2024 at 14:00
Laban Theatre, SE8
Rated 12
A side-splitting send-up of greed, love, revolution (and musicals), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold, caused by a 20-year drought. Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny.
Amélie
13 March 2025 at 14:30 and 19:00
The Albany, SE8
Rated 13+ (mild adult themes)
Based on the movie of the same name, this musical version follows the story of Amélie, an extraordinary young woman who lives quietly in the world but loudly in her mind. She covertly improvises small but surprising acts of kindness that bring joy and mayhem. But when a chance at love comes her way, Amélie realises that to find happiness she’ll have to risk everything and say what’s in her heart.
The Wedding Singer
20 March 2025 at 14:30 and 19:00
The Albany, SE8
Rated 12
The year is 1985 and the place is New Jersey when a wannabe rock star (professional wedding singer) is left at the alter and finally changes his tune. Based on the hit Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer’s sparkling new score does for the ’80s what Hairspray did for the ’60s. Just say yes to the most romantic musical in 20 years.
Grease

Since its electric Broadway and West End debut in the early 1970’s, Grease has remained one of the world’s most popular and enduring musicals.
