Newsies to hold open auditions in London later this month

It has been announced that Disney Theatrical Group, the producers of Newsies, will hold "exploratory open auditions" later this month.

The auditions for male dancers will take place at Pineapple Dance Studios on Monday 17th June. The announcement follows last weeks gossip that the musicals producers are eyeing up the Piccadilly and Savoy Theatres for a 2014 West End transfer.

Casting Director Jill Green said “We are beginning a search to find extraordinary dance talent. The award-winning choreography by Christopher Gattelli requires energetic male dancers with excellent ballet technique, acrobatic skills, tap dancing, and more. It will be exciting for the team to meet talented men from across the country at these open auditions.”
