Announcing Children’s Chorus Auditions for Snow White and the Seven Tenors: A Panto
Auditions are open for the Children’s Chorus of Drayton Entertainment’s production of Snow White and the Seven Tenors. This exciting opportunity invites young performers to step into a world of fairy-tale adventure, music, and larger-than-life fun as part of a joyful, high-energy show designed to delight audiences of all ages.
In this tuneful twist on a classic story, Snow White teams up not with seven miners, but with seven powerhouse tenors as she finds her voice, outwits the wicked queen, and journeys back to the palace, joined along the way by a charming prince and a tap-dancing horse named Avalanche. As a member of the children’s chorus, performers will work alongside professional artists, gain valuable stage experience, and be part of a beloved theatrical tradition that celebrates creativity, teamwork, and confidence.
A Panto is a cherished tradition from the UK that blends familiar fairy tales with chart-topping songs, energetic dance, dazzling costumes, playful audience interaction, and cheeky humour that appeals to both kids and grown-ups. Participation in Snow White and the Seven Tenors: A Panto offers young performers the chance to sing, move, and perform in a vibrant, fast-paced environment that encourages expression, imagination, and fun.
