M&M Theatre School - Crawley

The M&M Adult West-End Dance & Choir is the best evening of the week and I feel invigorated after my day at work. I love the variety of friends I have met at class, doing many different types of jobs and across the age-groups.
Melanie, Matthew and the other teachers are so encouraging, inclusive and supportive. We are so lucky to have West-End professionals teaching us locally.
Being in my mid-fifties it can sometimes take a bit of courage to rehearse and perform (I last danced back in the mid Eighties!) but it has helped my confidence and pushes me outside of my comfort-zone so that I feel a sense of pride and achievement. It's wonderful for wellbeing & fitness and I LOVE the camaraderie and support in the class.

Wow! My daughter has attended two of the Musical theatre workshops and has since started Saturday classes and I could not be more impressed. It has helped my daughter grow in confidence in both performing but also personally. I couldn’t be more thankful to Melanie and the team who have a wealth of experience and opportunities to offer the children.

Matthew & Melanie really are amazing & I love being part of the Adult Choir. Even if you are nervous about performing they are supportive & encouraging. They always get the best out of everyone & it is so lovely to be part of. So glad I found M&M 🥰

My daughter Lily absolutely loves the holiday workshops. They are well run, the teachers are lovely and the show at the end of the week is always impressive. I would thoroughly recommend.

My 12 year old daughter has started a few months ago and is loving every session. I can see her confidence is growing too. What a great project M&M!

Amazing theatre school. The teachers are supportive and encouraging. The kids do not need any acting, dancing or singing experience. They have teachers in from make up to costumes, comedy to theatre. Melanie and Matthew are still working so they gain experience 1st hand, i couldnt ask for better teachers. All the kids have become great friends and are like a second family. My daughter has been with them a few years now and is about to sit GCSE exams which they have supported and given advice and help. If your little one loves to sing, dance and act then this is the school for them. They put on a big show once a year up on a big stage and last year we had the pleasure of Brian Conley join us and his daughter has been teaching them. They are gaining so much experience. They run workshops during half term, private singing/acting lessons on top of the theatre school. If you're in doubt drop them a message you won't be disappointed. They've introduced an awards night now too so they can celebrate each and every child and their achievements. Some will get a trophy but every child gets a medal. The kids do performances at many different events that they all really enjoy doing. They gain so much experience performing in front of small crowds, large crowds, on a stage, in a theatre, even auditions. They've had make- up artists, as well as other theatre performers come and teach and give their advise. If you have a little one that enjoys musicals, performing (singing or dancing) drop them a message. You don't need experience just the enthusiasm to learn, everything else comes with time and practice, they are a very inclusive theatre school and is for all abilities. They are very approachable and friendly.

Spending Tuesday evenings with Melanie and Matthew and the rest of the Adult West End Choir really is a highlight in my week! I spend 90 minutes singing my heart out, laughing and leave practice feeling happy and energised.
Never did I imagine that I would feel comfortable singing and dancing in front of a whole theatre full of people. Thank you Melanie and Matthew for giving me these experiences with a wonderful group of people.

I have been a member of the M&M West End Choir for over 1.5 years now and I can honestly say it is the absolute highlight of my week.
Both Melanie & Matthew provide the perfect balance between vocal challenges and fun. A real breath of fresh of fresh air when it comes to a choir.

Everyone is made to feel so welcome, without the pressure of being an amazing singer and we have had many opportunities to showcase the skills we have learnt, through shows, community events, trips to London West End, charity concerts etc. Even my maths skills have slightly improved from some of the fun vocal warm ups we are challenged with!

As someone who is constantly in a position of always being on the go, high stress and being busy, M&M holds that safe space for me. My weekly detox to allow me to decompress. It is our everything and we are truly grateful to this wonderful couple for providing such a magical group.

Would highly recommend. 100%
Even if you aren't a singer, but love a good dad joke or want a good giggle. This choir is the best!! The occasional scones & cookies are pretty good too!
