Live musical theatre camps
42nd Street: Youth Edition- Cork- 20th to 26th July 2025
Residential Musical Theatre Camp for 2025 (suitable for 12 to 19 year olds across Ireland and overseas students welcome!)
During our musical theatre programme of 42nd Street Youth Edition, students work with our leading industry team. A choreographer, musical director, and professional theatre director to create acting, voice, movement, singing and dance skills in a safe space. Through ensemble, individual classes and company rehearsal, participants develop the skills necessary for performing in a Broadway JR musical production to the highest standard in seven days. In addition to day rehearsal, evening entertainment and guest workshops are all included for an action packed day up to hot chocolate at 10pm.
This intensive immersion in musical theatre helps build self esteem, develop new skills and enhance performance. Our students acquire audition technique and these vital life skills complement school back in September for increased confidence while creating amazing memories. For many students, these are the best weeks of the entire year and early booking for this course is highly recommended.
On final day of the summer course, students perform a full show with professional technicians, lighting and sound to a live audience in the Theatre. This experience for teenagers guarantees a magical summer school with memories for life!

42nd Street Youth Edition! One of show business's most classic and beloved tales, 42nd Street tells the story of Peggy Sawyer, a talented young performer with stars in her eyes who gets her big break on Broadway.
Peggy arrives in New York City from her hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania, armed with her tap shoes and big dreams. Peggy’s talent catches the eye of legendary Broadway director Julian Marsh, who gives her a spot in the chorus of Pretty Lady, his newest show. Pretty Lady stars Dorothy Brock, the classic Broadway diva, who takes an instant dislike to the new girl in the cast. When Dorothy is injured during the show’s previews, Pretty Lady looks like it will have to close, unless a new girl talented enough to lead the show can be found — someone like Peggy Sawyer!
Peggy’s rise from showgirl to star is the stuff of show business dreams. 42nd Street is full of crowd-pleasing tap dances, popular musical theatre standards, and show-stopping ensemble production numbers.
Come along and listen to the lullaby of Broadway! 42nd Street celebrates Broadway, Times Square and the magic of show biz with wit, humour and pizzazz. At the height of the Great Depression, aspiring chorus girl Peggy Sawyer comes to the big city from Allentown, PA, and soon lands her first big job in the ensemble of a glitzy new Broadway show. But just before opening night, the leading lady breaks her ankle. Will Peggy be able to step in and become a star? The score is chock-full of Broadway standards, including "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me," "Dames," "We're In the Money," "Lullaby of Broadway," "Shuffle Off to Buffalo" and "Forty-Second Street."
“An old-fashioned glamour musical that kept on giving when others would have called it quits.” – Ann Treneman, The Times
42nd Street opened on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theatre on August 25, 1980, starring Wanda Richert, Jerry Orbach, and Tammy Grimes. The production eventually moved to the Majestic and St. James Theatres, ultimately running for 3,486 performances. In 2001, the first Broadway revival of 42nd Street ran for 1,524 performances at the Ford Center for the Performing Arts.

“Dazzling and deliriously joyous...From the costumes and choreography to the divine melodies, deliciously smart lyrics and hugely talented cast, this show has glories to spare.” – Stefan Kyriazis, The Daily Express
“An American classic... ‘Hear the beat of dancing feet’... It’s an extraordinary, spine-tingling sound... size is absolutely everything in this shiny, streamlined homage to a vanished world of razzmatazz.” – Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph
“Mesmerising! From the opening moments of 42nd Street you know you are in for a good night.” – Quentin Letts, The Daily Mail
“As American as a McDonald’s apple pie, a steaming, golden spectacle of showbiz glamour... this show socks you over the head with good old-fashioned spectacle.” – Alice Saville, TimeOut London
