Classic musical Oklahoma! is set to be performed by the talented members of Whitehaven Theatre Group – and auditions take place this weekend.

The much-loved show, featuring an iconic score including Oh What a Beautiful Morning', takes place at Egremont Market Hall from April 25 to 29, and follows the group's successful production of Little Shop of Horrors in the same venue last year.

Auditions take place on January 22 and 23 at the group's rehearsal building on Esk Avenue, Whitehaven, and are open to all.

The group's Rachel Denwood said: "No experience is necessary, and all newcomers are very welcome.

"Anyone in Year 7 or older are invited to join the chorus and dancers, but principal roles must be filled by those in Year 12 and older."

Audition pieces and further information are available by emailing Shaun Donald at chairman@whitehaventheatregroup.com.

And tickets are on sale, with an 'early bird' discount available before February 14, at www.whitehaventheatregroup.com.
