A Chester-based community theatre company is offering budding musical theatre stars the opportunity to appear on stage, as rehearsals get underway for a brand-new production of a classic musical.
Chester Operatic Society are looking for additional cast members, to join the chorus of their upcoming production of "Me and My Girl" which will be staged at Storyhouse from Wednesday 8th - Saturday 11th of June. The musical features a host of feelgood songs including "The Lambeth Walk", "The Sun Has Got His Hat On" and "Leaning on a Lamp post".
"Me and My Girl" marks Chester Operatic Society's return to staging full scale productions post Covid and follows on from its critically acclaimed sell out production of "Singing In The Rain" in 2018. The production will form part of the Society's Centenary celebrations with a number of special events taking place throughout 2022.
Speaking about the production, the show's Artistic Director and Choreographer Rob Stevens said
"We are delighted to be staging "Me and My Girl" on the Storyhouse stage, particularly as our previously planned production, "Made in Dagenham" had to be shelved due to the pandemic. We have a fantastic main cast in place but are looking to add more performers to the chorus, particularly men with strong tenor or bass voices or anyone (aged 13 or over) keen on dancing (including tap). There are some fantastic cameo roles available so if you have singing and dancing experience and have ever wanted to appear on stage in a large-scale musical, now is your chance. If you would like to join us but are not sure what being in the production will involve, please don't hesitate to get in touch".
The production team are also keen to hear from volunteers to help with costumes and anyone who would like to join the backstage team.
Rehearsals for "Me and My Girl" are currently underway at St Mark's Church Hall in Saltney, near Chester, and anyone interested in joining the cast or production team should email:
