The creative team
Director Charlie Wakely and Musical Director Keziah Green have plenty great ideas for this fabulous show.
Charlie calls it “A fast, furious, and fiercely inventive production built in a bold, two-dimensional cartoon style—where every penny saved on cardboard is spent on a spectacular live orchestra.”
Whether you want to sing on stage (no audition required for chorus!), help build our cartoon world backstage, or manage the front of house, there is a place for you.
Rehearsals are on Friday evenings with some Wednesdays closer to the performance. Apart from breaks for Christmas and Spring concerts, we will rehearse from September though to the show.
Auditions
There’s no audition for chorus and principal singers get plenty of help and support.
Our principal auditions are held in front of a friendly audience of your peers. They don’t get to decide if you get the part. Their job is simply to cheer you on! The choice is made by the audition panel.
The panel consists of our Musical Director, Show Director a committee member and one person from outside the society.
Audition prep
Friday 11th September is set aside for you to come and hear the audition with the MD music and prepare for your audition.
Audition dates
Auditions are scheduled for Wednesday 16th September and Friday 18th September.
Video Option
If you can’t make either audition date, you can send a video of yourself auditioning.
It should reach us by Tuesday 15th September to be considered.
