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.

Its very very hard to be successful in Musicals, it's even harder to START in musicals.
The Australian musical theatre scene isn't too good at all, i have supported myself for a few years in musicals, but nowadays it's gone down even MORESO, trying to get back into it is very very difficult.
The way i see to do it is to get yourself a decent agent that would fight for you, take classes. Take classes. Take classes.
Then do amateur shows.
Do more amateur shows.
Classes, amateur stuff, and constant hounding of your agent will surely have you prepared when that fantastic show comes to town
