We are opening up an opportunity for any member of our Lion King Kids cast to audition for a spot in the pre show to our upcoming Lion King Kids production. Nine successful auditionees will perform at the Shedley Theatre before a brief interval and then Lion King Kids musical. This is a fantastic opportunity for our cast to own the stage for three minutes and really shine.
We have a cast of 54 in Lion King Kids and will be considering double casting the pre show, meaning that fourteen entries could well be open. We can't wait for our production in February soon to be followed by our performance of the Addams Family the Musical. |

NOW Productions presents 'Grease' at the Shedley Theatre
Grease is one of the world's most popular musicals - it's electrifying!! Feedback from an audience member: “Hi there, I just wanted to say how incredible your production of grease was tonight! To start off, I don’t think I stopped smiling once throughout the whole show. Everyone was perfect in their roles, capturing the characters perfectly! The guy who played Danny embodied him SO WELL, such great timing from him and the T birds who were also amazing! Maisy Jo did a phenomenal job, her singing…absolutely speechless. Rizzo was AMAZING, absolutely perfect expressions. Every single cast member was amazing and absolute stars. This production was beyond phenomenal. I love how much of a family you all seem to be I can’t describe enough what a fun night this was, thankyou!” We sold out two shows and what an adventure it was! |
