A KIDDERMINSTER youth group are holding open-auditions for a performance of the musical Hairspray this summer.

Talking Props Performing Arts Studio will begin rehearsals from Monday, June 15, to Saturday, June 17, inviting internal and external candidates from ages nine and up.

Rehearsals will take place at Kidderminster Youth House.

Owner Michael Neri said: "We are really excited to be staging this musical.

"Hairspray is such a fun show, we love the music so it was an obvious choice.

"It’s going to be a real challenge as we only have two weeks to put everything together.

"We are planning some fabulous costume and we already have some very talented students signed up.

"We are looking for all different types of performers, dancers, actors and singers - whether you're great at just the one or all three, we can use you."
