The Birkenhead Operatic Society Trust are holding auditions to find young girls to star in a new production of the musical ‘Annie’.
BOST are holding auditions to find Annie and her orphan friends on the mornings of Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 June.
The auditions are free; however, everyone must pre-register by completing and returning an application form, together with two passport photographs. The deadline to return completed application forms to the Empire is 10am on Monday 23 June.
BOST’s director Elsie Kelly, well known from ITV’s Benidorm, said: “We are looking for confident and enthusiastic girls to audition for the roles of Annie and her orphan friends. Last time we staged this show, our cast included 10 year old Stephanie Davis from Liverpool as Annie. She went on to be a finalist in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s BBC show ‘Over the Rainbow’ and now plays Sinead O’Connor in ‘Hollyoaks’. Hopefully we can discover more stars of the future this time around.”
Those wishing to audition should be between the ages of 6 and 15 years old and must be no taller than 4ft 9inches. No experience is necessary.
Auditions will take place at the Liverpool Empire Theatre and those auditioning will need to prepare the song, ‘The Sun’ll Come Out Tomorrow’.
Elsie Kelly added, “We chose ‘Annie’ as our next major production because it is a feel good, family musical which will be enjoyed by audiences and the cast alike. The production will also allow us to showcase talented, local, young performers and help them further their interest in theatre.”
