Drew Gasparini launches competition to find undiscovered West End talent.

Acclaimed composer Drew Gasparini is offering aspiring performers the opportunity to make their West End debut in his new musical WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE. This unique competition is open to anyone aged 18 and over with no professional adult credits and promises to discover untapped talent. Opening this opportunity up to more aspiring performers, there will be a new matinee performance of WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE joining the evening show, giving two winners the chance to step into the spotlight on the iconic Savoy Theatre stage on Monday 28th April 2025.

The new matinee performance not only doubles the opportunity for unseen talent to debut but also welcomes submissions from those working in the industry across the UK. In a bid to highlight and recognise the amazing theatre performers who are currently staffing ATG theatres, the matinee winner will be chosen from applicants who work at an ATG venue anywhere in the UK. 

With further star-studded cast and special guests still to be announced, the winners will share the limelight with the incredible Dylan Mulvaney (FAGHAG; Days of Girlhood), Sam Tutty (Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York); Dear Evan Hansen), and Aimie Atkinson (SIX The Musical), ensuring they take their place among a line-up of exceptional talent. The competition winners will be invited onstage to join Drew and friends for Act 2 which presents highlights from Gasparini’s celebrated musical career.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is open to all. Like the musical itself - which explores the many of life’s defining moments through diverse perspectives - the competition seeks to celebrate the breadth of human experience, offering fresh voices the chance to shine.

To enter, artists aged 18 and over with no professional adult credits are able to submit a self-tape of themselves singing one of Gasparini’s songs captured in a full, single take. Submissions close at 11pm on 23rd February 2025, and Gasparini will personally select the winners.

Submissions close: Sunday 23rd February 2025, 11pm
