A few weeks ago, our incredible senior Jack - Singer/Actor/Performer and absolute powerhouse took to the stage for the semi-final of West End Calling

Performing Raise A Little Hell from Bonnie and Clyde, Jack completely blew us away.

At just 15 years old, taking on a number of that scale is impressive enough, but to truly make it his own shows a level of maturity and stage presence far beyond his years.

Watching Jack’s confidence grow week after week has been incredible. Whether he’s tackling a new song, which happens all the time or throwing himself into rehearsals with our We Will Rock You cast, he constantly pushes himself to be better, braver, and stronger as a performer.

His commitment, dedication, passion, and genuine love for performing shine through in everything he does. From the moment we met Jack, we knew he was destined for big things… and performances like this prove exactly why.

Keep smashing it, Jack.
The stage is truly yours every time you step on it and we know this is only the beginning.

A completely different direction for Paloma in her Acting Through Song lessons 🎭
‘All Falls Down’ from Chaplin the Musical — raw, emotional and powerful.
To say she’s only 15… 🤯
We pushed her outside her comfort zone and we think she absolutely smashed it 🔥

⭐️ HUGE CONGRATULATIONS ⭐️

To our incredible Dance Captain and senior superstar, Agatha… or “Mags” as we all know ❤️

After auditioning against hundreds of talented performers from across the country, Mags has been selected to take part in the amazing summer master workshops in London with the incredible British Youth Music Theatre.

We are beyond proud to announce that Mags has officially been offered a place in the cast of Frankenstein this summer! 🎭

Mags is everything you could hope for in a performer, DC and role model. Her work ethic, professionalism, dedication, commitment, and passion for performing are truly unmatched. Week on week, she leads by example, which is exactly why she was chosen as DC for this year’s senior production of We Will Rock You.

Watching her grow in confidence since joining us last September has been such a privilege. Seeing her take this next step to perform with such an amazing company is incredibly special. We know she is going to shine in the show and fit perfectly into the cast.

We cannot wait to cheer her on in London later on in the year.

Keep believing in yourself, Mags. We’ve said it from day one with is, this is only the beginning, and we honestly couldn’t be prouder of you ❤️

✨ Better late than never! 😅 We did say we were going to drop these yesterday… but with the countdown to our Summer Show officially ON ☀️🎭 the hours are disappearing faster than ever! ⏰💨

Here are some INCREDIBLE shots from our London show 🤩📸 Our touring cast gives students from across the academy the opportunity to perform on stages throughout the country 🇬🇧✨

Each cast is specially handpicked from existing students based on our ⭐️ A CAST ⭐️ values:
💛 Attitude
💪 Commitment
🌟 Ability
🤝 Support
🎉 Teamwork

Our mixed-age touring casts bring together students who may not usually work together, pushing them out of their comfort zones, challenging them in the best way, and helping them create amazing new friendships 🫶✨

We absolutely LOVE seeing the confidence, energy and passion grow with every performance ❤️🔥 And from these photos… you can definitely see the incredible energy they bring to the stage! 🙌🎶

Next stop… 🎢 ALTON TOWERS in June!! Who’s excited?! 👀💥

🔥SHOW-STOPPING NEWS ALERT🔥

Well… we’ve already had one rollercoaster ride this year, but without pressure, there would be no diamonds 😉✨

And speaking of diamonds… we have one hell of a gem (or should we say queen 👑) joining the Made for Stage creative team…

The one and only, Natalie Pilkington!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nat has previously delivered our incredible Six Master Workshops, but this time she isn’t just here for one day… oh no.

She’ll be working closely with the cast for our upcoming production of We Will Rock You, helping shape and develop the show alongside us. On top of this, she’ll be helping V teach our Tuesday Feni casts and—once we’ve got a plan together—will hopefully be offering private vocal coaching too!

Natalie began dancing at her mum’s dance school in Chorley before training in Musical Theatre at Liverpool Theatre School & College. Since graduating, she has performed all over the world on cruise ships, in luxury resorts, theatres, and huge arenas, as well as starring in countless productions ranging from pantomimes to performances in 5000-seat venues. She also has her own solo cabaret show!

Her proudest role to date has been performing as the longest reigning Universal Superswing in the smash-hit musical SIX across the UK Tour, International Tour, and London’s West End — a dream achievement for so many performers. In this huge role, Natalie learned all six tracks whilst also working as Dance Captain, leading to incredible opportunities including opening the first productions in South Korea, Germany, and Switzerland, as well as performing at West End LIVE and London’s Mighty Hoopla Festival.

Most recently, Nat has been touring the UK with Bat Out of Hell, Jim Steinman’s epic rock musical, and spent last Christmas opening a brand-new show in Reno, Nevada!

Nat is a great friend, and her vibe, energy, and ethos are a perfect fit for the academy. We are incredibly excited to officially have her on board, and after seeing our Rock You cast on Thursday, she can’t wait to get stuck in!

In Natalie’s words…

“I’m thrilled to be joining the Made For Stage family and cannot wait to get creative and help guide all the talented students… LET’S GO!!!!!” ❤️🔥

Welcome to the crazy family, Nat — you’ll fit right in 😉
