Nativity! The Musical seeks Coventry stars to sparkle & shine

Following its successful opening at The Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 2017, Nativity! The Musical heads home to the city where the story started this autumn, kicking off a brand new tour for 2018 at the Belgrade Theatre.

Ahead of its arrival in Coventry 23-28 October, the company is now on the look-out for local children to audition for the show. Bright young stars from the Midlands are being offered the chance to sparkle and shine in lead roles as the children of St. Bernadette’s.

Feel-good, funny and full of yuletide joy, Nativity! The Musical features all of the favourite sing-a-long hits from the films including Sparkle and Shine, Nazareth, One Night One Moment, She’s the Brightest Star – plus a whole host of new songs filled with the spirit of Christmas!

Auditions will be held the week commencing 28 May (half-term week), with rehearsals taking place in Coventry from Monday 17 September until Monday 22 October. Performances will then begin in Coventry on the 23 October, followed by a UK tour ending in London on 31 December. So if you think you know a star-in-the-making who has got what it takes, be sure to keep your diary free for those dates!
