-
Hair. Help with getting the cast's hair ready before and during the show
-
Make up. Helping apply make up to the cast before and during the show.

Making costumes. We have a team of people who make the costumes.
-
Making props. We have a team of people who make the props that are needed for the show.
-
Marketing. We need help to advertise the show.
-
Sponsorship. In order to put the show on we will need to raise corporate sponsorship so that we can keep the cost of tickets down.
If any of these roles fit you, please email us directly at thepremieregroupcy@gmail.com.
-
What is the minimum age of performers?
The minimum age is 7 years old.
-
What do the auditions involve?
Acting auditions for the ensemble will involve small workshop style exercises. For the main roles you will be asked to read and act out small extracts from the musical with others auditioning.
Singing auditions will need to be prepared for in advance. You should be prepared to sing a song from a musical. Please bring with you a backing track (YouTube karaoke/usb backing track)
Dancing auditions will not need any preparation, however please arrive fully warmed up. You will
be asked to learn a small piece of choreographed dance.
-
Is there a membership fee for the show?
Yes, there will be a show membership fee of 5 Euros for adults and children. Premiere Group is a
non-profit cultural society, so all membership fees will go towards the very high cost of putting on a
show of West End quality. Our costs for the performances include costumes, set, rental of theatre,
sound, lighting and performance rights.
-
When are membership fees paid?
Membership fees are paid at the first rehearsal.
-
When and where will the rehearsals be held?
Rehearsals will likely be once during the week in the evening for the main cast. Nearer towards the
show, rehearsals will increase to twice a week and in the week of the show you must be available for
dress and technical rehearsals. Saturday afternoon rehearsals will involve ensemble actors, these
will be the chance to learn the songs, dance routines and add action to the scenes. They are a lot of
hard work but also a lot of fun.
-
When will I find out my audition results?
Premiere Group will endeavour to inform you within a week. Call backs may be held a week later.
More auditions might take place in October depending on if we have filled all the roles.

commitment to rehearsals is mandatory to make this a show to remember!
