Mykal has been involved in the musical Rent since it arrived in the UK, understudying and playing the roles of Tom Collins, Benny and Angel on numerous occasions in the Original West End production at the Shaftesbury Theatre. He also played Collins in Dublin, the UK Tour and at The Prince of Wales Theatre in London, which he also choreographed.
 
Mykal can also be seen playing an Apostle in the award winning DVD of Jesus Christ Superstar, produced by The Really Useful Video Company.

Mykal comes highly recommended by Tim Noble, choreographer to Kylie Minogue and director of Purestar Productions, whose workshops formed part of the launch in 2012 of ‘WOAPA’ – West Oxfordshire Academy of Performing Arts’ theatre school for children in Witney.

"We are so excited to be able to continue to bring top professionals like Tim & Mykal to work with our performing arts students in Witney. It is such a rare treat to have Mykal visit us. I’m sure everyone who takes part in the workshops will be inspired by his professionalism, talent and energy.”

The workshops, throughout the day, will demonstrate Mykal's skill in choreography in musical theatre. Drawing from his wealth of experience in performance and choreography, Mykal will offer the students a rare insight into the life of a professional performer, director and choreographer. At the end of each workshop all the children will take part in a short presentation for families and friends, and each child will have a photo opportunity with Mykal.
 
All current students at WOAPA [Acts 1, 2 & 3] automatically have a placed reserved at the workshop as part of their on-going tuition at WOAPA.
