Musical theatre competition launched by Jodie Steele Associates

A national competition has been launched to give musical theatre singers the chance to perform a solo at the Other Palace in London.

The winner of the Jodie Steele Associates MT Star Search will also receive five free one-to-one coaching sessions with performer Jodie Steele.

Steele said: “We want to create a buzz for upcoming young performers, for free, to be involved in a super-supportive, proactive singing competition – something for them to get stuck into while staying safe at home. I’m offering five free one-to-one sessions with me to the winner and they secure a solo spot at our performer showcase, which will be taking place at the Other Palace in the near future.”

The showcase at the Other Palace is currently scheduled for October 4, although this is subject to change due to Covid-19.

Jodie Steele Associates runs musical theatre training classes. Applicants to the competition do not need to be members of JSA.

To enter, applicants must send in a video of them singing a musical theatre song of at least two minutes by July 12.

The competition is open to all ages – participants under 18 need permission from a guardian.

Steele and performer Liam Doyle will select the winner.
