Auditions for Stomp

Posted on June 29, 2011

The West End show Stomp is holding open auditions at the Ambassadors Theatre, West Street, London WC2H 9ND on July 4–5.

Stomp directors, Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, are seeking male and female drummers, dancers or “anyone who has ever beaten out a rhythm with their fingers on a desk or idly hit a saucepan with a wooden spoon” to join their West End or European touring company. No specific experience is necessary, just “a willingness to go for it”. People interested should come along at 10.30am on either day to register, and should bring heavy boots, clothing suitable for movement, CV and a passport photograph. Audition slots will run throughout each day. Visit www.stomp.co.uk for further details.
