BUDDING young actors are being sought for a production of Disney’s magical Beauty and the Beast JR at Bordon’s Phoenix Theatre.
There is a free audition workshop on Saturday, April 9, at 10am.
This is open to anyone between the ages of eight and 18, and is a great opportunity to work with a professional creative team on the show, part of the Phoenix’s Summer Youth Project.
The project runs from July 25 to August 6, with performances on August 5 and 6.
To be considered for solo singing, a short excerpt of a song of your choice, with accompaniment on CD/iPhone/iPod should be prepared, or an unaccompanied piece.
Beauty and the Beast JR tells the story of Belle, an adventurous young girl, and the Beast, her hideous captor who is actually a young prince trapped under a spell.
In order to break the spell, the Beast must learn to earn her love in return – before time runs out.
It features classic songs from the award-winning film score such as Be Our Guest and Belle, and has something for everyone – from principal roles or a chance to sing and dance in the chorus.
