Runaways
Flash Musicals are casting for a brand new musical production.
Runaways is an original musical based on the lives of teenage runaways in Waterloo’s cardboard city. A character driven musical based on factual research, Runaways allows us to look into the lives of these characters and what drove them to such desperate measures.
Flash Musicals are looking for strong actors, singers and dancers to audition for both main and ensemble parts. Audition will consist of a monologue, song and a dance workshop and will take place at The Flash Musicals Youth Theatre based in Edgware, North London. If you would like to audition please contact Terry on 07956 846 375 or email danni@flashmusicals.co.uk. Character breakdowns are below.
