I understand that it is considered to be "the" place for musical theatre. I have a friend who graduated 2000 who is a singing teacher and she is in contact with a lot of her fellow graduees from that year and I am sad to say that the majority of them are not performing in any shows and having to do other things.

If you want to pursue a career in musical theatre whilst WAAPA is a fantastic place there are many other ways to achieve your dream. How about going to Sydney, Melbourne even London and having a go.... thats how a lot of people do it. Dont think by attending WAAPA it will open any doors for you. Its a cut throat business out there and you have to get out there a do it.

Good luck to you all with your career aspirations
