Child actor wanted for role in hit musical The King and I at Edinburgh Playhouse

One of the greatest musicals of all time returns to the Edinburgh Playhouse this autumn – and your child could be gracing the famous stage alongside some of the biggest musical theatre stars in the world.

Show producers of The King and I are offering one lucky child a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the cast on stage.

They are looking for a boy or a girl of East Asian or Southeast Asian heritage (or mixed heritage), aged between eight and 10 years old, to play one of The King’s Royal Children.

Open auditions take place tomorrow (Saturday, August 24) at The Playhouse from 10am.

The Scottish premiere will run at the Playhouse from October 17 to October 26.

To apply email Office@trafalgarentertainment.com with a small passport style photo and some information about the child’s age, location and any experience or training (drama, dance or singing classes) they may have had.

All children auditioning will be required to sing and dance and will need to be available to rehearse for two days between September 30 and October 16.

They will also take part in some publicity appearances before and during the run.
