lashings of audience participation – with the added delight of all the music
played live by multi-talented casts of 10 people – these rock pantos combine
the best of traditional pantomime with classic rock, soul and pop hits.

We are currently casting for various roles in these Christmas shows.

Male and female actor musicians of varying playing ages to play other roles
(including Dame/Fairy etc and Silly Billy/Cuddles the Monkey etc type roles)
to play at least TWO instruments from the list below to a professional

Please make sure you indicate clearly the detail of your clients’ musical

if they wish to be considered for only one of the venues. We are
particularly interested in casting artistes who have a local connection to

contracts.

We welcome applications from artistes of all ethnicities/heritages for all
roles, and we are very keen to receive applications from actor musicians who

promoting these artistes who are under –represented in performance
companies.
