How to stay successful in the musical theatre world?
Tue, 11 Jan 2005, 05:41 pmHey I was just wanting to know what musical theatre courses do you think are worth auditioning for? Also can you tell me after you've done a course and you're ready to get an agent - how do you know how to get one let alone a good one? And once you go into the business i know this sounds stupid but how do you keep yourself employed other than having an agent? If you have any stories or advice please do share your comments. Thankyou and please reply if you can.

I gather your from Melbourne?
Just look in your local paper for companies holding auditions, or sign up with your local theatre groups.
Im actually in Perth, and alot of theatres here hold at least one musical per year, so find out which ones youd be interested in doing in your area.
Regarding the Agent question, look under Agencies in your yellow pages - you wont know if there good until you go in there and talk to them, find out what projects they have done in the past, and what ones they have coming up in the future - to see if there worth your time.
Also, with keeping yourself employed while having an agent, you will have to work out an agreement with them for that, because they may not allow you to find yourself independant work without their permission etc.
Hope this helps a little, and good luck!
