Our Vision for Musical Theatre

Our vision for musical theatre and our aim at Italia Conti is to develop world-class artists who not only excel as performers, but also will be active contributors to the arts industry as a whole. Musical Theatre is a huge and inspiring industry in the UK and internationally with endless opportunities for individual performers to find their niche, their place, their path. With alumnx appearing on Broadway, in the West End, in UK and International touring theatre, in exciting regional producing theatres, in fringe venues, and creating their own work, we know that we can support our students to industry. We believe that theatre is not simply about entertainment, however, but is a powerful means of inspiring, challenging and educating audiences of the future.

  • “I have just graduated from Liverpool Theatre School with a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre. I wanted to do the BA Hons (Top Up) in Professional Arts Practice course to further develop my skills for the industry. It is the perfect balance between academic writing and creativity. I already have seen improvements, both in my academic and performing work, and I now really value the ability to critically reflect on past experiences in order to improve my current skills.”

    - Sarah Collinge – Musical Theatre Performer Current Student, Class of July 2024
  • “I have found that my first term at Italia Conti has been better than I could’ve imagined. I am working with driven, passionate, likeminded people within all different realms of the performing arts industry. I find that the course is very tailored to each individual and the content is broad enough to apply to everyone but specific enough to challenge each person within their abilities. I find the course to be a place where I can collaborate and interact with people who I’d never had met otherwise. I only look forward to what the next few months of the course bring and feel more motivated than ever.”

I feel like we are all dancing together even though we are all doing this at different times and in different spaces. 🖤
