Hello, my names Bethany Raine and i'll be writing about my musical theatre journey firstly i'll talk about opportunities and goals for me as a musical theatre performer. The main opportunities for me is to become a musical theatre performer is that I could work on West End shows or even Broadway or going to HND/ university level degree to expand my learning in musical theatre, but there's many different ways that you can find different kind of opportunities for example you could hold workshops or work at a dance convention for example "Can You Dance?" or "move it", to help my goals in the future I would go to dance city in Newcastle for multiple Disneyland parade auditions, for example I would involve myself in going to musical theatre workshops all over the country and having to build up enough stamina for the parades, but to also have to cope being in big costumes and having to adapt myself to any temperature when the parade is in different seasons.
