We hold open auditions every year for children and young people to take part in our Wakefield Youth Music Theatre shows and our Pantomime chorus. By joining our Performance Academy, you will also have a chance to perform on our stage.

Our Wakefield Youth Music Theatre shows are high-quality, popular musical theatre productions with a full youth cast made up of local children and young people who take part in two weeks of intensive performance training with us. They are amateur productions performed on a professional stage at Theatre Royal Wakefield for ten performances to audiences of over 4,000 people. The age range for our Youth Musicals change from year to year dependant on the production.

The audition deadline for Guys and Dolls has now passed.

Our annual pantomime is the biggest event of the year at Theatre Royal Wakefield. 2024’s production of Cinderella played to more than 28,400 audience members. The chorus, made up of local young people, plays a crucial role in making the show spectacular. The schedule is tough and requires commitment and discipline, but it is also a brilliant opportunity to perform alongside and work with a professional cast and crew.
