To round it off together we’ll prepare you for a short group performance at the end of the workshop.

We’ve chosen two beautiful songs to practice at the workshop: Magic Moments By Perry Como & Over the Rainbow from the Wizard of Oz. The workshop schedule & the song sheets with web links to practice will be emailed to you upon booking.

The Goodbye Girl @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Feb 7 @ 3:00 pm – 5:30 pm

Book by Neil Simon
Music by Marvin Hamlisch (A Chorus Line)
Lyrics by David Zippel (City of Angels)
Directed by Adam Lenson

Spiezak productions presents the first London revival of The Goodbye Girl. A musical from the writers of The Odd Couple, A Chorus Line and City of Angels.

Paula McFaden is an out of work dancer, the wrong side of thirty, who has watched too many men say goodbye. When hapless actor Elliot Garfield knocks on the door of her New York apartment, his dreams of stardom and her dreams of stability become a shared nightmare.

The Goodbye Girl is a wry, comic musical about letting go of your baggage and learning to love the unexpected. It is based on Neil Simon‘s Academy Award and Golden Globe award winning film and features the same unique humour that has made Simon the most popular playwright in Broadway History, fused with a vibrant, cinematic score that stands among Hamlisch‘s strongest work.

After a sell out run of The Jewish Legacy celebrating the Jewish contribution to musical theatre, Aria Entertainment returns with a new production; The Jewish Legends.
A celebration of some of the greatest Jewish performers in entertainment history!

Why did American Jews find such success in the world of entertainment? Because they arrived in America in the late nineteenth century with nothing but a gift to peddle. And what better to peddle than a song, a dance or a comic routine.

This show uniquely explores a century of song, dance and comedy with a nod to some legendary performers such as Barbra Streisand, Al Jolson, Bette Midler, Sophie Tucker, Fanny Brice, Zero Mostel and Groucho Marx. Song writers include Burt Bacharach, Carole King, and Leonard Cohen.

Their songs, their lives, their stories.

Featuring a cast of four fantastic singers; Steve Serlin, Martin Neely, Joanna Lee, Molly Marie Walsh and a live band.

The Secret World of Charles Dickens @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Mar 19 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Thursday – Saturday 7.30pm
Sunday 22nd at 4pm

Charles Dickens neglected his children, disgraced his wife, kept a mistress half his age, frequented brothels, practised hypnosis on impressionable ladies and humiliated his friends! But none of these are surprising enough to feature in The Secret World of Charles Dickens: a show that reveals Charles Dickens to have been a clandestine conjurer and even asks whether he was a Spiritualist on the quiet.

Ian Keable, winner of The Magic Circle Comedy Award, performs the favourite magic tricks of Charles Dickens and divulges the spooky practices of Victorian psychics. Sub-titled ‘mirth, marvels and the mysterious’, The Secret World of Charles Dickens delivers on all of these: so much so that you don’t need to have read a word of Dickens to discover an intriguing and fascinating side to this great writer’s personality.

The Secret World of Charles Dickens premiered at The Charles Dickens Museum in London.

Beginners Vocal Workshop @ Lauderdale House
Apr 12 @ 10:30 am – 2:30 pm

Learn how to develop your singing voice from total scratch

You don’t need to have previous singing experience or be able to read music as this workshop will teach you the singing essentials of breathing techniques and vocal skills in four hours for £25.50.

Kieran and Idit will show you how to transform your speaking voice into a singing voice through practical techniques. Not only will these techniques help improve your singing but also your voice for presentations and public speaking. And that’s not all, for completing the Level 1 workshop you will receive a certificate.

It will be fun and entertaining and to help you we will email the song sheets upon booking so you become familiar with the chosen songs.

Feedback from Elaine who attended our Beginners Workshop in January: I loved the workshop.  I thought it was very well organised.  As a complete beginner, the focus on interactive learning (i.e. theory, practice and feedback) was very helpful.  I came away with a lot more confidence but, rather than just a feeling of increased confidence, I have learnt techniques that could develop my singing voice.”

West End Musicals Singing Workshop @ Lauderdale House
Apr 26 @ 10:30 am – 2:30 pm

Featuring songs from Miss Saigon & Matilda

This is a fantastic opportunity to participate in an ‘open to all levels’ singing workshop of songs from these famous West End musicals.

Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced singer you’ll enjoy singing fabulous songs from the West End and training your voice at the same time. Take a look at a short video of workshop run by Idit.

In the first session of the workshop we’ll teach you basic breathing and vocal techniques and show you some performing skills which you’ll be using later in the singing session.

You’ll be coached individually as well as working with the group. Kieran and Idit will prepare you for a short performance at the end of the workshop. Once you book your place on the workshop we’ll email you the song sheets with web links so you can practise in advance.

Great fun, not to be missed! Find out more and book via our Workshops page.
