CALLING ALL YOUNG ROCKERS, SCHOOL OF ROCK NEED YOU! OPEN AUDITIONS TO BE HELD IN SHEFFIELD FOR ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S OLIVIER AWARD WINNING WEST END PRODUCTION OF S C H O O L O F R O C K - T H E
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s smash hit West End production of School of Rock – The Musical will hold open auditions on Saturday 10 June 2017 in Sheffield, for the opportunity to join the band as part of the kids’ cast of the hit musical currently playing at the New London Theatre. If you’re between 8 – 12 years old and play the drums, keys or the electric or bass guitar, we need to hear from you!
Tom Abisgold, 13 years old from Cheshire, one of the original West End cast said: “I’ve had the best time ever being part of the band at School of Rock. I made my West End debut playing the guitarist Zack – how cool is that?! When I auditioned for the part I never imagined that I’d be joining an actual band and working with Andrew Lloyd Webber and the rest of the amazing cast and crew. I am so glad that my Mum and Dad encouraged me to audition in the first place. I have been on TV, walked red carpets and won an Olivier award*. It’s been hard work and we practise hard but it’s really a dream come true, and I’d encourage any kid who plays one of the band instruments to come and audition, you’ll have the time of your life!”
Jessica Ronane, Children’s Casting Director, said: “We look forward meeting with the next generation of rockstars, as we continue our auditions in Sheffield, Birmingham and Liverpool. If you can play the drums, keys or the electric and bass guitar, we want to hear from you, and if you’re nervous about skills just get in touch and we can give you more details. Come and ‘pledge allegiance to the band!’”
