If you are interested in joining us, we hold one set of auditions for The Show and Showchoir at the beginning of each academic year during Fresher's week. If you are successful you will receive a callback and then who knows, maybe YOU could be the star of our next show!

THE SHOW

Each academic year, the society sets out to produce a musical of only the highest quality. In recent years, the society has continued to achieve striking levels of professionalism throughout all levels of these productions, reflected in hugely successful productions of hit musicals including 'The Wedding Singer', 'Company', 'Chicago', '9 to 5', 'Rent', 'Guys and Dolls', and 'Fame'.

SHOWCHOIR

Showchoir is an exciting performance group formed in 2011 which has gone from strength to strength ever since. The choir performs at a number of events throughout the year both in and outside the University. Showchoir strives for a high standard of performance, with exciting challenges and diversity in singing and movement whilst not restricting performers to one show, genre or time period.
