Last Saturday 4 July, a total of 115 girls and boys auditioned for 14 places in the cast of It's a Wonderful Life, our opening production this autumn (10 September – 3 October) which are presenting in association with Avalon Promotions.
It’s a Wonderful Life boasts the biggest New Wolsey cast in our eight-year history and it’s also the world premiere of the musical stage version of this much-loved Hollywood movie which starred James Stewart.
94 girls and 21 boys were auditioned by Associate Director Rob Salmon and Musical Director Dane Preece and 6 girls and 8 boys were selected to form the 2 teams required for the production.
It was a hectic day at the New Wolsey where the registration queue started at 8.30am!
The 14 children are now in the process of securing permission from their schools so that they will be able to start rehearsals on 17 August.
I’ll keep you updated on other aspects of this production as it develops.
