​
What will it look like when I'm there?:
​
​Back in May, 2023, I was walking through the busy streets of NYC.. it was spring, the sun was shining, I had a juice in hand & I was on my way to work with my voice teacher, who has a studio on 56th St.
​
I had the craziest idea about hosting a retreat for musical theatre performers. Here. In this city. The birthplace & home of musical theatre. "No way" I thought & shook my head, "I can't do that, it's too huge. I've never done it before"
​
But I couldn't get the idea out of my head..
​
After my voice lesson, I walked around the corner to a super busy lunch spot - they did these great salads, I'd had one from here a few days before, with avocado & chicken & seeds & lettuce, it was huge - I ended up eating it for my lunch & dinner that day, there was so much of it!
​
I took my giant salad down to Bryant Park, this cute little grassy area with a dog park & benches & a play ground for children to play in. There was a little cafe too, which always had people sitting outside, reading books, scrolling on their phones or chatting with friends. "What an opportunity" I thought again, ideas pinging around in my super active mind.
​
"The chance to work with Broadway creatives, casting directors, maybe even composers.. to fully immerse yourself in your career, you craft & your purpose. To get life changing coaching from me by day & be inspired by Broadway shows by night, as well as experiencing one of the most incredible, vibrant cities in the world."
​
But how would I do it?
​
Well, the more I thought about it, the more I saw it all coming together..
​
I saw clients flying into NYC, for the opportunity of a lifetime.
​
Meeting at the studios at 10AM on our first day together. Performers from all over the world, that have one thing in common - they want to become the best at what they do & build the most out-of-this-world career. Where everyone in the industry knows their name & people say "how are they so successful?!"
​
One life-changing experience after another, working with the absolute best in the industry. You walk out of studio, to grab lunch & head to Central Park, before spending the afternoon working on your songs, levelling up your performance with a top New York director.
​
You finish your day with a trip to the theatre, watching a sell out Broadway musical & watching what you are working on, in action, right before your eyes.. if they can do it, so can I.
​
After a standing ovation & clapping so hard your hands are stinging, you head back to your accommodation to sleep & start it all over again tomorrow..
​
​
3 days of non-stop level ups, non-stop quantum leaping, non-stop remembering who the f you are & that your musical theatre dreams are 100% meant for you & in your not so distant future.
​
​
A 3 Day In Person Event where you will take daily classes with me, Broadway creatives & casting directors, see multiple Broadway shows, join our VIP Leading Lady dinner event & have the time of your life! You will be a whole new person at the end of these 3 days.​

FAQs:
​
Q: Can I join from anywhere in the world?
A: Yes - as long as you are a working or auditioning professional performer, it doesn't matter where you from only that you want the musical theatre career of your dreams.
​
Q: What about flights & accommodation?
A: You are responsible for booking your own flights & accommodation. I recommend you fly into New York on 1st June (the day before we start) or before, and fly out after 5th June. The 3 Days we are together will be full on days, starting around 10AM & finishing around 10PM each day (this is an estimate & not exact timings). You will be added to a NYC Retreat group chat with other attendees where you can discuss accommodation & planning for your trip.
​

A: Spaces are limited to make sure every performer gets to perform & work with all coaches/ experts. All sessions are group classes & will include
individual performance time & coaching, as well as observing & learning from each other.
​

A: From the moment you invest in yourself you are committing to your dreams & already one step closer to making them a reality. Gemma always over-delivers & the experts joining us are the best in the biz at what they do. What you put in, you will get 10x out - if you go all in & commit to yourself & your musical theatre career, you can expect to see big things to happen inside your musical theatre career, on the countdown to, during & after this event.
