Musical Theatre Pianist/Keys Player

I am an experienced musical theatre keyboard player and pit musician available for productions across Chester, Cheshire, North Wales and the wider North West. I regularly work with theatre companies, schools and performing arts organisations, providing professional keyboard performance for a wide range of musical theatre productions.

With extensive experience as both a musician and musical theatre practitioner, I am highly familiar with the demands of pit playing, including complex keyboard parts, quick changes between sounds and styles, and the need for reliable, supportive musicianship throughout rehearsals and performances.

Musical theatre keyboard parts often require a high level of versatility and concentration, combining elements of classical technique, contemporary styles and rapid changes of sound and texture.

I am experienced in:

• Performing complex musical theatre keyboard scores
• Supporting rehearsals and technical runs
• Working closely with musical directors, conductors and production teams
• Maintaining musical consistency across multiple performances
• Adapting quickly to the demands of live theatre performance

Having spent many years working in musical theatre environments, I understand the importance of musical reliability, preparation and collaboration within a production team.

I am able to provide all necessary keyboard equipment for productions, including professional instruments and sound setup suitable for theatre environments.

I am also confident working with:

• Keyboard patches and programmed sounds for specific shows
• Multi-sound setups and quick patch changes
• Digital keyboards and performance workstations
• Integration with existing sound systems where required

This ensures productions can achieve the correct orchestral and stylistic sounds required for modern musical theatre scores.

I am available to work with:

• Amateur dramatic societies
• School productions
• Youth theatre companies
• Community theatre groups
• Independent productions

Availability includes rehearsal periods, technical rehearsals and full performance runs.

I am based in Chester and regularly work throughout:

• Chester
• Cheshire
• North Wales
• Liverpool
• Manchester
• The wider North West
