The producers of Moulin Rouge! The Musical have announced that they will be opening the doors of the multi award-winning production at the Piccadilly Theatre in London on 10 August, to give anyone aspiring to a career in theatre a glimpse behind the curtain.

Get Technical! offers the chance to meet members of the production’s backstage and technical teams, see live 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 share stories from their own career journeys and tips for getting into the industry. The event will round off with a live Q&A.

ATG Creative Learning Producer Conor Hunt said: “We are facing a huge demand in the theatre sector for new talent in backstage and offstage roles and it’s more important than ever to inspire the next generation to see these roles as viable career opportunities. We are so proud to be working with Global Creatures and Moulin Rouge! The Musical on this incredible event, opening up the doors to all the roles that people may not even know exist.”

Get Technical! will take place at the Piccadilly Theatre, London at 2pm on 10 August. Tickets are £5 and registration is open here.
