The Other Palace opened its doors in February 2017, and is a home and breeding ground for musicals at various stages of development. The studio is available for composers, librettists, lyricists, directors and choreographers to discover and create new material.

The space builds on the current St. James Studio model to offer a diverse programme including cabaret, music, musical theatre and crossover acts. A series of unique platforming opportunities for musical theatre in development takes place in the studios. The theatre also features an open mic bar.
