The Stage Door Choir is a friendly, non-audition adult musical theatre choir and beginners are very welcome.You don’t need any previous choir experience and you don’t need to be able to read music. Our rehearsals are designed to be supportive, enjoyable and confidence-building, with professional Musical Directors guiding you through the music and harmonies step by step.It’s completely normal to feel a little nervous before your first rehearsal, so you can book a free taster session in Greenwich or Wimbledon and experience the choir before deciding whether to join.

- 10Both choirs have the same welcoming The Stage Door Choir feel and sing musical theatre, film and feel-good favourites taught by West End Musical Directors. Greenwich rehearses on Monday evenings and Wimbledon on Wednesday evenings, both from 7:30–9pm. Choose whichever location and evening suits you best — your first taster is free.

- 14Membership is based on a term commitment rather than payment per individual rehearsal, so we’re normally unable to offer refunds for sessions you choose or are unable to attend.This allows us to plan rehearsal venues, Musical Directors, music resources and performance preparation in advance.If you experience exceptional circumstances, please contact us and we’ll always consider individual situations fairly.
- 15If you need to cancel or pause your membership, please contact The Stage Door Choir team by email.Include your full name and the choir location you attend so we can locate your membership quickly and confirm the next steps with you.The monthly payment option has a minimum commitment of one term.

It includes your weekly rehearsals plus access to rehearsal materials such as scores, lyrics and harmony tracks, as well as member socials, discounts and opportunities to perform. Your first taster is free, so you can try us before deciding.
- 17No. Performances are optional.Members are invited to take part in as many or as few performance opportunities as they feel comfortable with.Some singers love performing straight away, while others prefer to spend time building their confidence first. There is no pressure either way.When you do decide to perform, we work hard to make the experience organised, exciting and enjoyable.
- 18Most standard choir performance opportunities do not have an additional participation fee.Depending on the event, members may need to cover their own travel, food or other personal expenses.Occasionally, we may offer special opportunities that involve additional costs, such as travel, accommodation, recording experiences or unusual venues. Any costs will always be explained clearly in advance and participation will be optional.
