The Musical Theatre Intensive Weekly Masterclasses are curated and led by musical theatre star and Australia’s leading teacher of audition technique for musical theatre, Queenie van de Zandt. Having studied audition technique for over 20 years and with 30 years as a performer, Queenie has developed a unique audition and performance practice, that has helped her former students gain lead roles in shows such as Come from Away, Book of Morman, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Pricilla: Queen of the Desert, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Sound of Music, Grease, Matilda, Singin’ in the Rain, and Les Miserables, to name just a few. It is this success that has seen her hailed in the press as a ‘musical theatre star-maker’.
Queenie will run a number of masterclasses each Term, but what makes the Musical Theatre Intensive Weekly Masterclasses so unique, is that participants not only get to learn Queenie’s audition practice, and work with her on various aspects of theatre performance and career development, they also get to work with, and be seen by Australia’s leading musical theatre directors, choreographers, casting agents, actors, marketers, producers, musical directors, publicists, writers and theatre makers.
