Children Wanted for West End Stage

With live theatre back and better than ever before, a theatre school franchise is offering its students and franchisees an incredible opportunity in the heart of theatreland.

Razzamataz Theatre Schools has partnered with The Shaftesbury Theatre, home to smash hit show &Juliet to give students a unique opportunity to perform in a gala show at the end of 2022 and early 2023.

Performing on a West End stage is a dream that many children have. But with such stiff competition, it generally is only the very few who can make that dream a reality. But now, the franchise schools across the UK are on the lookout for new students that would like to get involved in this wonderful opportunity that will create memories that will last a lifetime.
