CRAFTY cockneys (or soundalikes) are being called for to join in the chorus for Me and My Girl being staged by the Tavistock Musical Theatre Company later this year.

So, if you know your sausage and mash (cash) from your pint of pig’s ear (beer) go and have a rabbit and pork (talk) or get on the dog and bone (phone) and book yourself a place in the chorus line!

Me and My Girl is a musical set in the late 1930s and tells the story of an unapologetically unrefined cockney gentlemen named Bill Snibson who learns that he is the 14th heir to the Earl of Hereford.

The musical includes the showstopping songs The Lambeth Walk, The Sun has got his Hat on and Leaning on a Lamp-post.

Auditions for the show have gone very well so far with Sam Wilson successfully getting the male lead as Bill Snibson and Anna Ayling as Sally Smith, his girfriend.

Ross Ayling will play Gerald Bolingbroke and Rob Tolley, the family solicitor with Mel Holt-Martion playing Lady Jacqueline (Jackie) Carstone.

‘We have got the main characters sorted now,’ said show producer Pete Clement. ‘ But we need to recruit a Cockney chorus so we could do with about five men and three women.

‘There will be full music and choreography training so no experience is necessary — recruits just need to be able to hold a tune.’

Rehearsals will be held once a week, on a Wednesday, at Kingdon House in Tavistock, starting on Wednesday, May 25 at 7.30pm.

If you would like to join the band of merry musicmakers either go along to the rehearsal or contact Pete Clement on 07779 950007 or director Julian?Bennett on 01822 615075.
