The advert says age 7-45, Leeds, Manchester York, Nationwide. When you appply it sends your profile to the advertisers but does not tellyou who that is. (It also says very strong singing voices required for some parts. There are singing and none singing part available.

I don't think its dodgy in the unsafe sense but it could be a small agency who is trying to be proactive and muscle in on an opportunity to supply cast members. I personally would not send my child's details off unless I knew to whom they were being sent (but thats just my view) and i've looked at the listing and there is just no way of telling.

I have no doubt that these roles will be cast via all the normal agencies once they get going with the casting. The initial auditions for all the Oliver children (exc Oliver & Dodger) did not start until 7 months before the show opened and this show does not open till March 2011 so there is plenty of time yet :D

sounds very strange to me
Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.

I heard they were doing remake of film,a much darker version and Dakota Fanning as Dorothy,but might just be chinese whispers.

Makes me feel slightly better - although when thinking about it they cannot contact us directly, as telephone number and email are not visible.
