OPEN auditions are now live for Malton company Be Amazing Arts’ next production, Disney’s Newsies Jr, to be staged at the Joseph Rowntree Theatre, York, from March 26 to 28.
Based on the hit Broadway show, Newsies Jr follows a spirited band of newsboys as they rally together to fight for what’s right against the powerful newspaper publishers of New York City. Filled with uplifting messages of courage and friendship, this family-friendly production will leave you cheering, dancing and believing in the power of standing strong together!
“This high-energy, feel-good musical is packed with unforgettable songs, dynamic choreography and an inspiring story about young people standing up for what they believe in,” says managing director James Aconley. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for performers to grow in confidence, develop their skills and be part of something truly special.
“We welcome performers of all experience levels. Whether this is your first show or you’re already stage-mad, we’re looking for enthusiasm and commitment, a willingness to learn and work as part of a team and a love of performing (singing, dancing and acting).”
Why take part? “Being involved in a Be Amazing Arts production means professional, supportive direction; high-quality training in a fun and encouraging environment; making new friends and creating unforgettable memories, and experiencing the thrill of performing on stage in a full-scale musical production,” says James.
