Audition for Oliver!
Young boy sopranos are encouraged to audition for this year's DUT production of Oliver!
DUT is hosting auditions for boy sopranos aged seven to 13 with acting skills and the ability to perform for their first production of the year, Lionel Bart’s Oliver!
They are having the second phase of auditions on Monday, 19 January from 9am at the DUT Drama Department. Parking is at Gate 6. The audition piece is ‘Food Glorious Food’ which can be sent to you on request, but another song which can show the range of the voice is also acceptable.
On the day of the audition further arrangements such as rehearsal times and transport will be discussed.
DUT starts the year with a musical flurry – staging the iconic Lionel Bart evergreen, Oliver! based on the Charles Dickens classical story, which comes to the DUT Courtyard Theatre from 22 to 28 March.
Oliver! is a delicious feel-good tale of young Oliver Twist – and a host of colourful and eccentric characters. It is also a hugely significant social commentary looking at the miserable life of a vulnerable young orphan living in Dickensian London.
The cast will be a combination of DUT students and young children who make it through open auditions. It will be directed by Dr Pamela Tancsik and musical director is Madlen Tzankova.
An indemnity letter needs to be signed when agreement to participate in the production has been confirmed.
