The full team will be a true ensemble cast, with a mixture of talents and strengths - for example, all actors must sing, but several do not sing alone. Many parts require strong character actors, some demand excellent comic timing and others must be strong singers with the ability to act through song."Email zoe@wwdn.co.uk with any questions, or there's more info and the link to the audition pack here: www.wwdn.co.uk/assassins.Check out the Facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1599630130151072/
