WINCHESTER’S Theatre Royal is offering young people the chance to rehearse and perform a musical in just a day.

The Theatre Royal’s popular Musical In A Day gives youngsters between the ages of seven and 17 the chance to learn a version of a West End musical.

The youngsters will spend the day working with a professional musical director and choreographer to create a show, which last time was Matilda.

At the end of the day friends and family are invited to watch the resulting performance.

The organisers describe it as a day of ‘fun and learning for any young person who loves stage musicals’.

Musical In A Day takes place at The Pilgrim’s School, Winchester on Wednesday, February 22.

Those aged between 12-16 years, seniors, start rehearsals at 10am and youngsters from 7 to 11, juniors, start at 11.30am.

The cost is £90 and £70 respectively.

The performance is at 6.30pm and the day finishes at 7pm. Places on the day are limited so it is advised to book early.
