West End hopefuls line the London streets for first 42nd Street auditions
Hundreds of ambitious auditionees put their best feet forward for their chance to be in the show.
Hundreds of hopeful stage stars lined the pavement on Monday morning as auditions kicked off for 42nd Street in the West End.
The doors opened at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Monday, to an enormous queue of auditionees clad in sportswear, gym bags and make-up as they geared up for their chance to star in the capital’s latest production of the hit musical.
The first leg of open auditions for the show invited performers to take part in group numbers on the stage after signing up.
First performed in 1980, 42nd Street is written by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble – based on the novel by Bradford Ropes – with music composed by Harry Warren and lyrics by Al Dubin.
