And bosses behind the mammoth performance say rehearsals are well under way.

“If ever proof were needed about the strength of regional theatre we have it right here,” said show director Tim Lince.

“The excitement the young people bring is so infectious and somewhere among the expectant faces could be a performer who will, in 20 years, be a household name and bring entertainment and happiness to millions.

“Our job is to give them the opportunity to develop their skills in a professional environment.”
