Michael Peavoy

Michael was born and raised in Salford, Manchester where he trained as a Chef and left college with a BTEC in Musical Theatre. He then packed up and moved to London after being offered a place at RADA, graduating in 2010. In 2009 whilst in his second year at RADA, he received the Stephen Sondheim Society Student Performer of the Year Award. Upon graduating RADA with a BA in Acting, Michael went straight in to the cast of Hamlet at the National Theatre to make his professional theatre debut under the direction of Nicholas Hytner. Michael’s passion for new musical theatre writing has taken him to every corner of London performing in several concerts and workshops for Mercury Musical Developments.
