THE hunt is on for budding young musical stars to take their place on stage in the musical Snoopy.

Brilliant Productions is looking for youngsters aged between eight and 17 and under 5ft 2in tall to sing, dance and act in a professional production of Snoopy The Musical!

The production will take place at the Elgiva Theatre in Chesham in September.

Brilliant Productions is one of the first companies to secure the performing rights to Snoopy! and has been fortunate to acquire the West End set, props, costumes and musical arrangements.

Actress and producer Bobbie Chatt, who recently starred as Cinderella in the Elgiva's acclaimed pantomime, set up Brilliant Productions.

"This is an enormously exciting project it really is the ultimate family show. All the favourite characters from the Peanuts cartoon are there; Charlie Brown, Lucy, Woodstock and, of course, Snoopy himself," she says.

"We are lucky to have an immensely talented cast on board already to play the various characters. Now we just need some Brilliant kids to complete our number."

Snoopy follows Brilliant Productions' 2004 productions Fame! and Showstoppers The Movies!

Auditions for the Brilliant kids will take place on June 12, between 11am and 7.30pm, at Moonglow Studios, in Estcourt Road, Watford.

Anyone wishing to apply for an audition and wanting more information should contact Bobbie Chatt by emailing snoopy@brilliantproductions.com or phone 07977 270788.
