Hatton Juniors

Hatton Juniors is the youth arm of Hatton Musical Theatre, welcoming performers aged 8 to 18 into a supportive, high energy environment where they can grow in confidence, skill and creativity. Launched in 2024 following the success of our production of Oliver!, the junior group was created to give young people high quality performance opportunities within a well structured and supportive setting.

Since its launch, Hatton Juniors has staged Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical JR. (2024), Disney’s Newsies JR. (2025) and Disney’s High School Musical JR. (2026), with each production bringing young performers together to work to a professional standard while still having a huge amount of fun along the way.

At the heart of Hatton Juniors is a commitment to creating an inclusive and encouraging space where every child feels valued. We focus not only on singing, dancing and acting, but also on teamwork, resilience and respect, skills that extend far beyond the stage. Rehearsals are structured, purposeful and supportive, with clear expectations that help young performers thrive in a safe and positive environment.

Whether a child is stepping onto the stage for the first time or already has a passion for performing, Hatton Juniors offers a place to belong, to be challenged and to shine.
