After weeks of painstaking planning, the auditions for East Side Story finally took off in February – the doors opened on the first day at 9.30 am and the judges were overwhelmed by the torrent of talent that poured in!

Over 80 people from Good Hope, Heartlands and Solihull Hospitals came along to impress the judges and many succeeded, with over 50 being recalled to further auditions. The judges then had the difficult job of choosing who would be included in the main cast for the show, the final 38 were selected and are now preparing for the big event on December 19th.
