Welcome to UCL’s 2024 Best Arts Society winner: Musical Theatre Society!
As a society, we offer a wide variety of vibrant opportunities to engage with the art of Musical Theatre, providing members with a space to develop skills and create long-lasting friendships! We place inclusivity and the development of the individual at our core, and a passion for musical theatre regardless of ability. So whether you want to perform, direct, conduct or design (and many more), we have something for you.
Each academic year we put on shows in a variety of musical theatre genres, usually two large-scale productions and a multitude of smaller shows. Our large-scale Bloomsbury shows this year are ''Shrek: the musical" and "Carousel". There will also be opportunities to propose (bid) and produce five smaller-scale shows starting across three terms. It promises to be a very eventful year with our ever-popular socials and events; from balls to galas and karaoke. We also offer a variety of non-auditioned opportunities for members including a weekly choir focussing on musical numbers - they are an excellent way to introduce yourself to the musical theatre genre and are open to everyone.
Our workshops explore all aspects of musical theatre, from singing and dancing masterclasses for our budding performers, to production team workshops for our student conductors and directors. Over the last year we have been privileged enough to work with West End leads from Heathers, Wicked, &Juliet, Newsies alongside working with production industry professionals from leading institutions such as Mountview. We also foster strong relationships with other Arts societies at UCL (including Live Music society, Drama society, Jazz society and Stage Crew Society), and engage in a wide variety of activities with them.
