On Tuesday 30 July we will once again open our doors at the Piccadilly Theatre to give anyone aspiring to a career in theatre a glimpse behind the curtain of Moulin Rouge! The Musical.
Following its debut last year, Get Technical! offers the chance to hear from members of the backstage and technical teams, watch live on-stage demonstrations and learn more about what goes into the making of the West End’s leading musical Spectacular!
From wigs to wardrobe to sound to stage management, the event aims to motivate and inspire young people to consider a career in backstage positions in the performing arts industry. Attendees will be shown how the different technical departments work together to create the production and be given a sneak peek of some of the stage secrets and magic behind the show.
Backstage and technical team members will also share stories from their own career journeys and give tips for getting into the industry.
