Belfast’s Grand Opera House and Qdos Entertainment, producers of the Theatre’s record-breaking Christmas shows, are holding open auditions to find four local boys to perform the roles of Michael and John Darling in this year’s spectacular pantomime Peter Pan.
Auditions take place at the Grand Opera House on Saturday 9 September 2017. To audition, the minimum age for both roles is 8 years old, be no more than 4’6” tall for the role of Michael and no more than 4’8” tall for John. The successful boys must be available for rehearsals and performances throughout the pantomime’s six week run. For the audition a monologue, poem or rhyme should be prepared to present and auditionees may be required to read a short excerpt from the script.
Jonathan Kiley, executive producer of Peter Pan said:xa0“This is a terrific opportunity for four young people to join the cast of Peter Pan on the iconic Grand Opera House and to star alongside the Queen of pantomime May McFettridge, and Coronation Street’s Claire King. We have two roles available, those of Wendy’s brothers Michael and John, and we will be looking for two boys to play each of the parts in rotation throughout the pantomime run.”
