Watford teenagers could be in with a chance of appearing in a Christmas pantomime show.

Auditions are being held by Watford Palace Theatre for 16–18-year-olds who live within Watford and the surrounding area for its winter production of Cinderella.

Applications to audition close on Friday, September 8, and the auditions will take place on September 23 and 24 in the theatre’s main stage.

Those who are being brought in for auditions will find out via email by Friday, September 15.

The theatre wants to see people who are strong dancers, and this can be in any dance background such as hip-hop, Bollywood and ballet.

Review: Beauty and the Beast pantomime shines at Christmas

Aspiring performers are not needed to have any formal qualifications, but lots of enthusiasm and the ability to pick up choreography quickly “and to let your personality shine through in performance”.

Some singing and acting will be involved too.

Six people will be chosen to join the Youth Chorus in the show that will run from November 30 to December 31.
