It was originally housed at The Old Vic[1] and then His Majesty's Theatre, before moving to premises on Borough Road, where it currently[when?] operates.
The school offers a one-year, full-time, vocational training for adults wishing to pursue a career in musical theatre. The ethos of LSMT is to create the environment of a professional company in rehearsal rather than that of an educational institution. The emphasis of the course is on the development of the singing voice as the tool for acting through song alongside a thorough training in dance and drama. Classes are taught by professionals and practitioners working in the industry, with direct experience of the requirements of musical theatre.
Since its inception in 1995, the organisation has commissioned new musical theatre productions, many of which have now been published and performed around the world. The school employs Charles Miller as composer-in-residence.[when?][citation needed]
