Jamie Norgrove contacted me from Brownhills Musical Theatre Company a couple of days ago to ask if I’d put out this appeal for young lads to take part in the company’s production of Lionel Bart’s Oliver!, to be staged at the Lichfield Garrick Theatre.
Brownhills MTC have an excellent reputation for staging sellout shows, and they’re fresh from their latest success ‘Whistle Stop West End‘, which received great acclaim.
If you’ve got a budding Brannagh in the family, why not suggest they have a go? After all, it’s a great way to have fun and do something really remarkable. Your urchin could be on stage in a nationally noted theatre…

Hi Bob
Would it be possible to help spread the word about our open auditions for boys for our forthcoming production of Oliver!?
We are running workshop style auditions on Sunday 25th November at 10:00am at Brownhills School, Deakin Avenue, Brownhills for boys aged 7 – 15 to become part of a fantastic team of urchins for our May 2013 production at The Lichfield Garrick. Boys shouldn’t be above 162cms tall and their voices should not have yet broken.
Further details can be obtained from Pete Smith on 07904 930766
Many thanks
Jamie
