Following sold-out performances in London and a triumphant UK tour in 2017, Jamie Wilson, Entertainment One (eOne), Ramin Sabi and Belgrade Theatre Coventry are delighted to announce the return of NATIVITY! THE MUSICAL and are on the look-out for children to audition for the 2018 UK tour, which comes to the city from December 11 to 15.
Bright, young stars from across the country will have a chance to sparkle and shine as one of the children from Oakmoor School. Auditions for Oxford will be held in the city on Sunday July 8.
Nativity! The Musical is written and directed by the creator and director of the blockbuster film series, Debbie Isitt.
She said: “We are looking for characterful but disciplined children who can ‘act’ as snobby and superior and yet have a sense of fun and can give over the top performances if required.
“We need the children to have good movement ability - marching, basic choreography and have excellent posture. They should also be able to sing confidently, have basic acting ability and enjoy performing.”

To audition, children must be pre-registered with Keston and Keston the Children’s Regional Casting Directors via the iOS App ‘Keston Casting- downloadable’ which can be downloaded for free via the app store or registration can be via the website www.kestonandkestoncasting.com
