Consider yourself at home with Lionel Bart’s classic musical based on Charles Dickens’ novel, Oliver Twist. The Tony and Olivier Award-winning show is one of the few musicals to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actors and audience members alike.

The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr Brownlow takes him in.

The auditions for this well loved show will run for about 20-30 minutes. Young people are auditioned in groups of 10-12, and will be taught an excerpt from a song from the show, a short dance routine and will be asked to read a short piece of dialogue.

There’s no need to prepare anything. Just be sure to wear comfortable clothing and footwear suitable for dancing – they can’t allow anyone to audition in socks or bare feet. It’s all very relaxed and informal and there’s no need to book an audition – just turn up in the time slot appropriate to your age.

Thursday November 30

5pm – 6pm (8 – 12 year olds)

6pm – 7pm (13 – 21 year olds)
