Fees - Please read before considering auditioning
We are an amateur company and have to self-finance every show we put on. Typical costs associated with us putting on our full-scale shows are:

  Theatre hire £5000.00
  Royalties and licence fees £1000.00
  Orchestra fees £5000.00
  Costume hire £3000.00
  Set hire £2000.00
  Total (approx) £16000.00

To help defray these costs, every performer in a show (principal or chorus performer) must pay a fee. The fee is set for each show based on a number of different factors but is typically in the region of £95-£150. For this fee you get to perform in a professional theatre, with an orchestra and gain experience of working with talented directors and an experienced chorus.

Hidden text: If you are interested in singing the role please contact the Auditions Secretary for more information.  Details are on the contact page.
