Notes from the casting director Jo Hawes:
Please read the info below. Please make suggestions on separate emails for each show with the name of the child, dob, age, height and area in which they live i.e their education authority. No photos required except for THE LION KING and SOUTH PACIFIC. Please note in all cases boys must have unbroken voices and girls must be undeveloped.
I am unable to help anyone who is too tall or too old for any of these productions and I do not cast adults or have any information about adult casting. So sorry but time does not permit a response to email outside the limits set out below.
All suggestions welcome for all of the shows below providing the children fit the criteria – if they do not I am unable to see them. So sorry but all shows are very specific and the criteria are all there for very good reasons.
I am only able to take enquiries by email for reasons of time!
