🎭 Panto Auditions are THIS Sunday! 👠✨

The countdown is on, and I can't wait to meet everyone auditioning for Cinderella this Sunday!

☀️ The weather is looking glorious, so we'll be making the most of the fantastic outdoor space at the school. Feel free to bring a picnic, plenty of water and some sun cream so you can relax between auditions and enjoy the day.

📝 A quick favour...

To help the day run as smoothly as possible, please complete the online audition form before you arrive. It will really help us organise the auditions efficiently and keep everything moving so everyone has the best possible experience.

🎭 And don't forget...

As well as your audition piece, I'd like you to open your audition with a short character backstory or introduction. Show me your imagination, your personality, and how you would bring your character to life. This is your chance to make a fantastic first impression, so be bold, commit to your choices, and most importantly... have fun!

Good luck everyone—I can't wait to see what you all bring to the room. Let's make some panto magic! ✨

If you’re auditioning for the role of Cinderella, Buttons, or Prince Charming, please note that there will be an additional singing audition as part of the process.

🎭 Audition Update – Cinderella, Buttons & Prince Charming 🎭

If you’re auditioning for the role of Cinderella, Buttons, or Prince Charming, please note that there will be an additional singing audition as part of the process.
Our Musical Director will ask you to perform one verse and one chorus of Perfect during your audition.

🎵 The backing track can be found here:

Don’t worry about making it flawless—we’re looking for storytelling, character, and potential just as much as vocal ability.

We can’t wait to see your auditions.

Good luck! ✨👠

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Cinderella Pantomime Preview last night! 🎭✨

It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces, meet some new ones, and share the vision for this year's production. I left feeling even more excited about what's to come and can't wait to meet all of the incredibly talented people auditioning.

A few reminders for anyone planning to audition:

📄 Audition forms and audition pieces are now available on the website. https://www.maidenhead-drama.org.uk/panto2026

📅 If you can't make the auditions on 12th July, please let me know as soon as possible so we can discuss alternative arrangements.

🎭 One extra challenge...

As well as preparing your audition piece, I'd like you to open your audition with a short character introduction or backstory. Show me who your character is before you even begin the script. I want to see your imagination, creativity and, most importantly, your panto characterisation. Make bold choices, have fun with it, and bring your character to life from the moment you walk into the room!

I genuinely can't wait to see what everyone brings to the auditions. Let's make Cinderella something really magical! ✨👠
