is anybody going to the auditions fo this on sunday?

Is the audition through agents ?

I'm not sure, we saw it on starnow.

I emailed lady and she said IRS a small amateur group production

i do believe i mentioned that it was in woking and not the west end, i simply enquired if anybody else was going to this, i know a lot of children do a lot more impressive things but for my ds this is actually quite exciting.

I would be ,, if I lived nearer. I love whistle down the wind.. Good Luck to your son,, hes been on a roll, so fingers crossed.
CORRECTION..... I wouldnt be... I meant daughter would have been.

We saw the professional tour last year in Nottingham. Have to say it was the worst musical i've ever seen..drawn out with terrible american accents. Which is sad because the film was a classic. I dont know what was wrong with a British story. Anyway despite all this i remember thinking what good parts they were for kids...they featured in nearly every scene. The kids got a much bigger applause than the adults. So good luck to your children who audition....if it were mine i'd maybe have enjoyed it more!

If children love to perform, does it matter whether it is professional or amateur? Surely it is all about enjoying the experience and having fun. Good luck to your ds sophiesocks.

I agree Caroline A-C. all experience is good experience. good luck sophiesocks ds

thanks guys, he is looking forward to it, i will let you know how he gets on

good luck to your ds sophiesocks. some am dram stuff ive seen is better than the professional shows. living in scotland we get very little oppertunity if it wasnt for am dram my dd wouldnt get to peform at all.

My dd and I are going! Looking forward to it - it's a long way for us, but it sounds perfect, and haven't been to an audition for ages!

I think the reason bakes28 mentioned it was amateur and not professional wasn't to look down on amateur theatre in anyway (as it is brilliant experience and is what made me want to act as a pro) but just to point it out to parents who were thinking of letting their children audition as it may be impractical to do so if they live far away etc

Hi, that is exactly what I meant. As it's amateur there will be no money involved etc so you wouldn't get covered for any expenses and if you're planning on coming from a long way away it could be expensive (I know money is not everyone's priority when it's their kids on stage etc.

If my dd wasn't currently doing something she would audition for it as it is centered around children. I was simply pointing out that it wasn't the UK tour and I didn't meant offend anyone in the slightest and am shocked that some of you took it that way.

Sorry bakes I got the wrong end of the stick I didn't realise you were just sharing information, sometimes it's easy to get the wrong idea on message boards. I realise you didn't mean it as a criticism and I apologise for thinking you did.
