Open auditions announced for Tina – The Tina Turner Musical
Producers of Tina - The Tina Turner Musical have announced they are looking for young actors to join the cast of the upcoming production.
Open auditions will be held to find actors to play Anna Mae, the 11 year-old Tina Turner, in the musical. Producers are looking for 'black and mixed race girls between the ages of 9 - 12 years old, under 4' 10" with good acting skills and a fantastic singing voice'.
Auditions will take place on Saturday 13 January 2018 at the National Youth Theatre Rehearsal Rooms, 443-445 Holloway Road, London, N7 6LW. Registration starts at 10.30am, with auditions beginning at 11am. For further information, email enquiries@pippaailioncasting.co.uk.
The musical's casting director Pippa Ailion said: "Our musical tracks the life of music legend Tina Turner from humble beginnings in Nutbush and we are looking to meet with young and talented girls to play the role of Tina in her formative years.
"If you are black or mixed race, can act and have a fantastic singing voice we want to meet you! Come and join us later this month when we are holding auditions for the opportunity to become a member of our West End company and to tell Tina's story."
Last year, Turner announced Adrienne Warren would play the title role in the musical, making her West End debut in the process. Full adult casting for the show has been announced.
