Case Study - Hannah Jane Fox

Hannah Jane Fox was the first person to play Scaramouche in We Will Rock You. She graduated from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in North London.

The course I would be interested in from this school is the three-year BA Hons in Musical Theatre. In the first year, the curriculum is based strictly on performing, but in the second year, the course adds in skills on how to create and write a musical.

Case Study - Kerry Ellis

Kerry Ellis has played many roles in the West End, including a character that I aspire to play: Elphaba from the musical Wicked! She has also played Nancy in Oliver! and Meatloaf in We Will Rock You. I also aspire to play another character in We Will Rock You - Scaramouche.

She graduated from the Laine Theatre Arts school in Surrey. It offers only two courses:

1. National Diploma in Proffessional Dance
2. National Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre

Obviously I'd be interested in the Musical Theatre course and not Proffessional Dance - I'm not graceful enough for that. The course takes three years to complete, and you can enter the school at school-leaving age.
