Brandon (20) said: "Performing on the West End stage is like a dream come true for me.

"It’s such an exciting opportunity!”

Liverpool Theatre School has trained thousands of musical theatre stars, who have gone on to appear in shows from the West End to Broadway. The prestigious school’s alumni are now starring in world renowned productions such as Miss Saigon, Tenors of Rock and Wicked.

Maxine Ellis, Principal at Liverpool Theatre School, said: “This is a chance for our talented final year students to show off their skills in front of the industry’s top influencers, who will be on the look out for the next generation of musical theatre stars.

"Brandon is definitely one to look out for when it comes to success on the stage!”

Brandon grew up in Burnley Wood and attended Casterton Primary School before going on to attend Unity College.

He then went on to study Musical Theatre at The Manchester College before passing the auditions for the three year Trinity College London Diploma in Musical Theatre at Liverpool Theatre School, where he is now in his final year.

Brandon's budding talent was spotted by two of his teachers at Casterton, Fiona Balchin and Samantha Root who spotted a notice for auditions for the musical Oliver in the Burnley Express.

His dad, Nick, took him along and Brandon landed the role of the Artful Dodger in the production being staged by Brunshaw Action Group.

Brandon's love of musical theatre started with that audition and his passion for the stage grew from there.

He stayed with the Brunshaw Action Group until he was 11 before joining Basics Junior Theatre School.

His dad and his nan, Jenny McGee, have been hugely supportive and have been to watch every production he has appeared in so far.
