Kids on stage
Children are performing in popular musicals in many London theatres. We talked to various people about the phenomenon of children on stage.
A THE DIRECTOR
Andrew Tyler chooses children to appear in stage musicals. I’m not only looking for children who can sing, dance and act, they also have to have lively personalities and a lot of confidence – it’s essential that they grab the audience’s attention and if they can’t do that, I don’t choose them. When I’m working on a show, I start by contacting agents and telling them what I need, and then I hold auditions for as many children as I can. When the children have been chosen, I draw up the contracts for them and the schedule for performances – there are usually three teams of children for each show and they perform according to a rotation system. No child is in a show for more than six months. Being in a show is tiring for the children because they have to combine it with going to school, but they have a great time and they learn an enormous amount about discipline, teamwork and concentration, as well as special skills such as choreography and singing.
B THE YOUNG PERFORMER
Emily Gould is currently appearing in a popular London show. I love musicals and I’m thrilled to be in this one. I’ve got quite a big part and have to sing a song all by myself in one scene. I’m always pretty nervous during each performance because I’m worried that I might make a mistake. But at the same time I’m excited about doing it and I feel quite proud of myself when I’m on the stage. I’m one of the youngest children in the show – the age range is five to thirteen.The older children are good to me – they remind me about what I have to do next and encourage me a lot. I don’t have time to be in any of the sports teams at school, which is a shame because I’d like to do that too, but acting and singing are great. I want to keep on performing in musicals for the next few years at least, though I’m not sure I want it to be my career.
C THE STAGE MOTHER
Anita Benfield’s son Tom is currently appearing in a popular musical in London. Tom started going to a local drama school when he was five. Last year, the head of the school suggested that he was good enough to audition for this musical. I took him to a series of four auditions and he got the part. We’d had no experience of the audition process and although he got the part, I thought it was horrible. The vast majority of the children get rejected. At the end of each audition, dozens of children burst into tears when they were told that they hadn’t been successful – they were absolutely devastated.When Tom got chosen, we were given the schedule for the ten weeks of rehearsals – I hadn’t realized how much time would be taken up. It’s all rather exhausting – for the parents as much as the children.When the performances start, you get a timetable of the performances the child will be appearing in.But he also has to be available at short notice to replace a child who is ill, and this makes it hard to plan anything. Because of that, we can’t book a holiday and recently we weren’t able to attend a family wedding.
D THE EX-CHILD STAR
Ian Miller was a child star in the 1980s. My parents were very keen for me to be on the stage and I howed a lot of talent for it when I was a child. By the time I was ten, I’d been in a number of stage musicals and also appeared in various TV series. When I went to secondary school, I stopped performing because I developed other interests and lost my enthusiasm for it – I didn’t want to give up so much time to do it, I wanted to do what my friends were doing. I enjoyed my time as a child performer but I didn’t miss it when I stopped. Lots of child performers don’t go on to become successful adult performers even if they want to. People in the business tend to think that they aren’t capable of developing into good adult performers and they aren’t taken seriously when they’re older.I don’t want my own children to do it – I think performing can be very stressful for children and I think it’s much better for children to concentrate on getting a good education and then train to be a performer when they’re older, if they want to.
