Chester Operatic Society is looking for more chorus members for their newest production at Storyhouse Chester, which will enable aspiring musical theatre stars to perform live on stage.
This is a wonderful opportunity for budding musical theatre stars to perform in the upcoming production of “Me and My Girl” which will take place from Wednesday 8th to Saturday 11th of June 2022. Among the feel-good songs in the musical are “The Lambeth Walk,” “The Sun Has Got His Hat On,” and “Leaning on a Lamp Post.”
Following the sell-out production of “Singing In The Rain” at Storyhouse in 2018, “Me and My Girl” represents Chester Operatic Society’s return to full-scale production after Covid halted production. The production will be part of a series of special events that will take place throughout 2022 as part of the Society’s Centenary celebrations.
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 is also eager to hear from people who want to help out with costumes or join the backstage crew. Currently, rehearsals for “Me and My Girl” are taking place at St Mark’s Church Hall in Saltney, not far from Chester City Centre.
Those interested in joining the cast or production team can email productions@chesteroperatic.co.uk.
