Graduate Success & Destinations

At Performers College, we train our graduates to be versatile performers that can adapt to working in different mediums, productions and roles.

You’ll find plenty of our alumni on the West End: alongside other graduates appearing in Wicked, Hamilton, Phantom of the Opera, Hairspray and more. Recently, we’ve seen Nikki Bentley as Catherine of Aragon in Six; Mireia Mambo in the Oliver award-winning Sunset Boulevard; and Tommy Wade Smith in Tina Fey’s hit musical Mean Girls.

Our graduates have found success in many different areas of performing arts, from the Moulin Rouge to Disneyland. Adrian Gas has worked as a dancer, and he is now a sought-after director and choreographer for artists such as Take That, Rihanna, Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams, even collaborating with Nicole Scherzinger on the new show Schhh! for P&O Cruises. In addition, recent graduate Emmanuel Kome danced alongside Dua Lipa at Glastonbury 2024 and has made an appearance on the latest series of Doctor Who.


"Each job brings something special for a different reason. I have been very lucky to be in two original west end casts, On Your Feet! was my first job out of college, at the London Coliseum and Moulin Rouge at the Piccadilly Theatre. In my time at Moulin Rouge we opened the Olivier Awards Show in 2022, this was a moment I’ll never forget!"
Katie Dunsden, West End performer and Performers College graduate
