Today is a good day! Look at our lovely gentlemen! (and we’ve cast Julie too) - more on that story later!

Rehearsal in full swing - Director Andy Johnson doing his thing!

Well what an array of talent we had this morning at our auditions! Well done to everyone who auditioned - the casting decisions will be revealed in due course. There are still some roles which we need to cast so please, if you fancy auditioning for them - watch this space for details of the second day of auditions (next Sunday). Cracking work so far guys!

Good luck to everyone who is auditioning!

Hi folks,

I’ve amended the incorrect link to the audition tracks so it should be working now in the previous post!

Cheers,

Hello folks, We thought that it might be a good idea to pop up here the audition extracts in terms of music (bar numbers etc) for reference. They are:

Carrie - “Mister Snow” (Page 4) bars 113 - the end.

“When The Children Are Asleep” (Page 31) bars 135 - the end.

Julie - “If I Loved You” (Page 9) bars 93 - 128

“What’s the use of Wond’rin” (page 57) bars 7 - 26

Billy - “If I Loved You” (page 13) bars 238 - 273

“Soliloquy” (page 39) bars 42 - 153

Mr Snow - “When The Children Are Asleep” (page 30) bars 87 - 114

“Geraniums In The Winder” (page 53) bars 1 - 37

Jigger - “Blow High, Blow Low” (page 33) bars 48 - 88

Nettie - “You’ll Never Walk Alone” (page 59) bars 9 - the end

All of the piano accompaniments and melody lines for each of the extracts can be found in the following folder as mp3s so you can listen if you don’t have a CD:

See you all soon!

Following the main chorus rehearsal on Wednesday, as well as men’s audition pieces, I will be going through the dance audition for anyone interested in the role of Louise.  Look forward to seeing you all there!  AP

…how time flies. It’s nearly time for another rehearsal. Tomorrow night (Wednesday) we will be revising “June” and “Clambake” before working on “You’ll Never Walk Alone” (the finale version). Then at 9.30pm we’ll be having a brief look through the audition pieces for the men….

….on the subject of men - we are seemingly lacking in gentlemen so please do encourage anyone you might know who is a man and interested in musical theatre to come along. It’s not too late to get involved!

CD

…music rehearsal tonight. Whistle stop tour of “A Real Nice Clambake” and “June is Busting out all Over”. Good work gang. Just need a few more men to bump up the bottom end…. A few more men anyone, anywhere? Please!!!! (not that the ones we have aren’t lovely and very talented, they are just feeling a bit out numbered at the moment).

Still time to get involved - join us next week for more fun!

CD

…..a whole week since the presentation evening? Well it is tomorrow!

Just a reminder that even if you weren’t with us last week, you can still join in the fun by rocking up at 7.30pm tomorrow night (Wednesday) at Bentley Heath C of E school. Come along - you know you want to!
