New Education Members - Musical Stars, Mt Victoria, Wellington
is an after school musical and performing theatre class for children aged 5-16 years.
We teach singing, dancing and drama in a positive, warm, pressure-free environment from two central Wellington locations. Watch your child build confidence, creativity and self-esteem while learning the music and songs from their favorite movies and musicals. Then, watch them on stage in our annual show, which runs for a weeklong season at Capital E, Wellington’s premier children’s theatre. It is a great chance for the kids to show what they’ve learnt, and experience the excitement of performing on stage. Our Musical Stars teachers are professional singers and dancers who work in the theatre. Musical Stars is the best way in Wellington for kids to experience the world of musical theatre.
