The Lion King to hold open auditions for children to join ‘Cub School’ programme

Open auditions are to be held for ‘Cub School’ – the programme where children who have the potential to play Young Simba and Young Nala in Disney’s The Lion King have the opportunity to hone the skills required to take on the challenging roles. 

‘Cub School’ is a free, fourteen-week performance-training programme from which the roles of Young Simba and Young Nala are cast. During the programme, children are trained in the disciplines of dance, voice and acting by teachers who are associated with The Lion King.

The ‘Cub School’ auditions will take place on Sunday 16th March (registration from 10:30am) at Sylvia Young Theatre School in London.

Children are not required to prepare anything in advance of the audition for ‘Cub School’ and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Applicants must be between ages 7 and 11 and below 148cm (4'8") in height.

While winning a place in Cub School does not guarantee a part in the stage musical, it has proved to be excellent training for young people with the ambition to work on stage.

It was recently announced that The Lion King will present a second Autism-Friendly Performance at the Lyceum Theatre on Sunday 4th May 2014. Click here for further information.
