An interactive masterclass in emotionally investing in your character, building your career to become a versatile performer and using music to communicate with your audience.

Fresh from the film set of Tom Hooper’s adaptation of Cats and just before she flies into the West End as Mary Poppins, The Other Masterclass is delighted to welcome Zizi Strallen (Strictly Ballroom, Hairspray, Follies, Merrily We Roll Along, Chicago) to lead a masterclass on Acting Through The Music.

The Other Palace will select four performers to work through their song with Zizi on stage. To apply to take part, purchase your ticket here. You will then be emailed a link to submit your headshot or photo, biog and video clip of you performing your chosen song from any genre of Musical Theatre.

As well as offering the opportunity to be mentored as a singer, Zizi is also offering the opportunity to work with dancers. To submit yourself to as a dancer, please also submit a video clip in your application.

The closing date for applications is midday on Mon 22 July.

Even if you are not chosen to work on your song/dance, or you do not want to perform, The Other Masterclass is an invaluable experience to learn from leading performers in the industry. All who attend the masterclass will have an opportunity to meet the mentor and ask questions.

‘Strallen has appeared in various shows over the years, always showcasing immense versatility. Mary is her biggest role to date, and she gives a career defining performance.’ – West End Frame
