Just heard that Shrek the musical will be holding auditions in the next few months for 3 childrens roles. Teen fiona (13/14 ish), young fiona (10/11) and young shrek (10/11). Opens next year at Drury Lane!

[GEORGIEROSE]

That sounds fun,wonder if they are open

[igloobabe]

OOh hope so! have to watch out for that!

[bruno2]

I guess it will be difficult to cast a "young shrek" ! Do you think fiona will have to have red hair ?

[broadwaybaby]

If they are using the same costumes/wigs as the broadway production then all the children will be wearing wigs so hair colour doesnt matter.

I wonder how long it takes them to take the stage make up off every night?

[francescasmum]

Ha Ha, that just reminderd me, my daughter had to be painted green for a play she did recently and it washed off very easily straight after the performance with soap and water, unfortunately one night she was really tired and fell asleep in the car on the way home so I just put her to bed, green - it took an hour in the bath the next morning to get it off and she was left with a green pallor, people kept stopping us to ask if she was ok. needless to say I made sure she went to bed 'white' the next night! So who ever gets the part, don't forget to wash!

[j&jdancingkids]

gonna have a look around for these aud's sounds fun

[GypsyMumNot!]

Auditions for young Fiona are on 25th October; height restriction is 4'6" & aged circa 8 years old. If you email Jo Hawes, she will send you details.

Youngest dd too old/tall for this role but under 16 so cannot be considered for teen Fiona......Gutted

[islandofsodor]

Is it children from within M25 only?

[GypsyMumNot!]

Yeah - usual. One hour commute max.

[GEORGIEROSE]
