The London School of Musical Theatre (LSMT) is based in Borough Road, Southwark, south London, England. It was founded by Glenn Lee. The school is currently owned by Principal/Course Producer Adrian Jeckells.
The school provides a full-time intensive vocational training course over a year for those wishing to enter musical theatre. There is an emphasis on singing, but dance and drama are also included. Many students go on to West End shows. The London School of Musical Theatre (LSMT) offers a one-year, fulltime course, designed for those who wish to realise their full potential as musical theatre performers. LSMT is widely recognised as unique in its approach. The ethos of LSMT is to create the environment of a professional company in rehearsal rather than that of an educational institution. An exclusive number of entrants are accepted each year, working in two groups. We appreciate that each student has different needs and, with a more personal approach, aim to treat each person as an individual. The emphasis of the course is on the development of the singing voice as the expressive tool for acting through song, providing a programme of intensive vocational training within a carefully structured curriculum. Classes are taught by practitioners actively working in the industry, with direct experience of the requirements of musical theatre today. We like to think of ourselves as ‘the professional’s training’: our course is directly linked to the industry and is totally realistic and genuine in its promises, aspirations and goals. LSMT recognises that, for many mature students, a three-year course is unnecessary and that, with intensive, focused training within the right environment, talented individuals can become employable within a year
