“Shrek the musical” Auditions

Thank you to everyone who auditioned for ‘Shrek – The Musical’. The standard was exceptionally high and it was great to see so many attend and put so much effort into their auditions.

Sadly the cast cannot accommodate everyone, so it was inevitable that we would have to disappoint some people. We hope this will not deter anyone from auditioning in the future.

Rehearsals will commence in the autumn and we will be contacting the cast in due course with details. Adjustments in casting might need to take place according to costume sizing as explained in audition information.
