Cast appeal for musical

PERFORMERS young and old are being asked to audition to appear in a major touring musical.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic The King and I will be at Hanley's Regent Theatre in March.

And producers Stage Productions are now looking for singers, dancers and actors to join the cast.

Open auditions will be held on two consecutive Sundays for all the adult and child parts.

The production will transfer from the Gaeity Theatre on the Isle of Man to The Regent Theatre in March.

And producers say the show will include lavish sets, costumes and props, with the only new addition being a new cast of performers.

The King and I tells the story of the British governess brought into the court of Siam to tutor the king's many children.

The love story is told through favourite songs and sweeping melodies including Getting to Know You.
