"When I joined WEK, I had no experience or confidence in performing. After a lot of hard work and training with Martin and Emma, I made my way up to Troupe and have now gained a place at Urdang Academy.

"I have to say, West End Kids didn't look out of place among the likes of Mamma Mia, Chicago and the rest. They might have been billed as the stars of tomorrow, but these kids are clearly already stars. Yet again, they produced a classy, tight and punchy performance.

WEK enables Hannah and other talented children to work hard, be pushed and continually improve performances. Being a member of WEK is like being part of a family of like-minded youngster who are prepared to work hard and enjoy being stretched to continually improve.

Thank you so much.... Katie seems to have her mojo back! WEKs team support has really touched Katey and made her realise that friendship is just as important as dancing well. You don't have to choose between the two. We could really see her singing and performance is starting to really shine through. ...

A huge thank you for your wonderful performance! I actually managed to see it this year (!) and was overwhelmed at how talented the West End Kids are – it really was a magical performance and please pass my thanks onto the team for me.

The group were fantastic and I thought the costumes and choreography were inspired! The kids had a wonderful energy and enthusiasm and the finale was spine-tingling. Really amazing to think you put it all together in a matter of weeks!

West End Kids were selected to represent the stars of the future, performing in the stunning Westminster Hall for 500 Members of Parliament and dignitaries from across the Commonwealth. They performed a 30 minute set of popular musical theatre including songs from Sister Act and We Will Rock You.

WEK has improved me in almost every aspect of my performance, especially singing, and it has taught me how important it is to tell a story when you are performing. It has also given me an insight in to what it's going to be like in the performing arts industry which is where I think WEK is really unique - you ...

One of the luckiest moments of my life was when I attended the WEK auditions. I felt unmotivated at my local theatre school. I wanted a professional environment, proper training & some one to push me, all of which I found at WEK!

I wouldn't have been offered a full-time place at Urdang Academy without WEK. WEK taught me how to prepare for an audition (which is absolutely key) and had given me a clear insight in to what a typical day on a full-time vocational course would be like. Auditions were a regular thing at WEK, especially leadin...

I love how different WEK is from your average weekend musical theatre school. We're constantly being pushed in new ways with new exciting challenges and no matter how old you are, you're treated like a professional. Plus everyone is so lovely, I've made some of the best friends I could ever ask for.
