TIP Top Productions are hoping for a good response this weekend as they stage their own search for cast members for The Wizard of Oz.

As BBC TV’s Over The Rainbow continues the search for a new star to play Dorothy, Chester-based Tip Top are more concerned with finding members of the adult chorus.

The principal role and all the Munchkins have already been cast.

Co-director Steve Davies said: “While there isn’t an awful lot of involvement for a chorus in this production, the rehearsal schedule reflects that so this is an ideal show to join in without having to make a massive commitment.”

During this first rehearsal the group will be inviting people to play other characters within the show and will also be talking to those interested in dancing.

The first rehearsal will be at The Forum Studio Theatre in Chester at 2pm on Sunday, April 25. For more information on the company visit www.tiptopproductions.co.uk.

The Wizard of Oz will be staged at Clwyd Theatr Cymru in Mold from June 15-19. Visit www.tiptopproductions.co.uk or ring 01244 341296.
