Announcing our cast for The Sorcerer in Louth and Buxton!

First, a big thank you to everyone that auditioned; you made it a very lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon! The standard was very high, with everyone bringing something unique and interesting to the table. As the saying goes – we could have cast many of the roles multiple times over and everyone who auditioned should be very proud of themselves.

We’re thrilled to announce our cast for The Sorcerer is as follows:

Sir Marmaduke Pointdextre – Stephen Roe
Alexis Pointdextre – Alex Carpenter
Dr Daly – Chris Cann
Notary – Geoffrey Wallis
John Wellington Wells – Tony Bannister
Lady Sangazure (Louth) – Helena Culliney
Lady Sangazure (Buxton) – Lesley Khatibi
Aline Sangazure (Louth) – Laura Jamie Anstice-Pim
Aline Sangazure (Buxton) – Sophie Hurst
Mrs Partlett – Cissy Street-Mellor
Constance Partlett – Mary Crabtree
Hercules – Katie Frodsham

Congratulations to everyone!

The Sorcerer is a jolly and active opera with a busy and involved chorus, with lots of music to sing and abundant opportunities for fun character work and choreography – and Louth and Buxton both make for very enjoyable “working holidays” with a friendly company! No auditions are necessary for chorus, and everyone is welcome to join, if you would like to be a nosey villager or a sparkling “Bright Young Thing”), please email takepart@newlondonoperagroup.org so that we can ensure you receive all the information you need. If you have a preference for being a villager (more character led) or bright young thing (more dancing) please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate!

We look forward to seeing you in April!
