The Academy of Woodlands

The Academy of Woodlands produces a full-scale musical theatre production every summer, showcasing the fantastic talents of our Year 5 and 6 Drama Club. Working hard throughout the year, our children's performances are accompanied by a live professional ban, backed by exclusively designed sets and dressed with costumes and props specifically tailored for our stars. Despite what many would expect with the young age of our performers, we produce the full versions of West End/Broadway musicals, not reduced length junior versions. At The Academy of Woodlands our children push themselves to achieve exceptional standards of musical theatre, a work ethic instilled by our dedicated staff team of industry professionals. 

Previous productions include:

Hairspray
Bugsy Malone
We Will Rock You
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Grease
Summer Holiday
Snoopy
Dracula Spectacular
Fiddler on the Roof
Seussical
The Pirates of Penzance
Jungle Book
Aladdin
Honk
Voyage of the Jumblies
