Known as the mother of all song-and-dance musicals, it is vitally important that all potential auditionees recognise this! The chorus are just that - they play "the boys and girls" of the chorus of the fictional musical Pretty Lady - the show within a show, which is a dance (tap) extravaganza. If anything, dance ability takes precedence over singing ability!!
So - to help all interested before auditions - we are planning to run a few classes. Watch the website for more information - and dust off those dancing shoes!
