Andrew Parfitt, a 3rd year student on the BA (Hons) Professional Performance (Top Up) and member of Jazz Co, has done just that. On 6th May he took to the stage at the Lyceum Theatre as a cast member in Disney’s The Lion King, one of the longest-running and most beloved musicals in the West End.
Andrew began his time at LSC on the FdA Dance Performance in the 2022/23 Academic Year. His unique and developed talent landed him a place on the Performance Team that year and every year since. Andrew was a featured dancer in group and duet pieces in many performances, such as Spring Showcase, Dance Overture, MOVE IT.
See the video below to watch Andrew as a lead dancer in ‘Roma Ma’, choreographed by our Head of Jazz & Commercial Dance, Alison Debois, at MOVE IT 2025. This was Andrew’s last performance with LSC before starting rehearsals for The Lion King.
