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.
