The auditions are to search for talent who will be supporting vocalists for the artists who will take the stage at the live recording of the show slated to be recorded later in the year.

Auditions for the show cast will be held in a one day event on April 6 at the Protea Glen Mall.

Interested and eligible hopefuls will need to book a spot to audition. Applicants need to register by sending an SMS and will in turn receive a reference number that secures their place into the auditions.

“We are excited to bring this major production to our community. For the Gauteng leg of the auditions, the SMS line opened on March 1 closes at midday on May 4.

“Interested individuals can audition as a vocalist either as soprano, alto, bass or tenor or as a musician playing an instrument,” Founder of Xtreme Creations, Shaun Baba explains.

Baba said this will be necessary to ensure a seamless process on the day.
