What a f--king disaster from the talentless arts world that runs this country. And, no doubt, many will grab the chance of 15 seconds of fame and embarrassment... 

Let's have a bit of fun here and suggest who could play the parts. Rob smith as Dorothy. He never finds his way home till ? Sam Moore as the tin man,he's creaking a bit now he's getting on. There must be loads of people in Nottingham who are barking that could play Dorothy,s dog . And as for the cowardly lion. Ain't got a clue. Wicked witch again ain't got a clue

Obviously some one from the Notts soul scene has stepped up to run the dance audition for this tripe...so who is it?

 

Auditions will be held at Nottingham Lakeside Arts on Wednesday, February 25 at 6pm and Saturday, February 28 at 2pm.

 

Auditionees can take part in either session, where they will be expected to join in a dance workshop, then sing a song of their choice for the creative team.

I note the production is entitled 'The Wizz'......  :lol:

I'm going outside now. I may be sometime.

Dorothy should be easy as she already wears a full circle skirt and ankle socks.....

Who is the brainless scarecrow gonna be then  :wicked:

 

I nominate Maslar.

 

This is the sort of shit that Pete Tildsley, and Brian Lear used to dream 

up on the services in a morning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I don't think we're in Nottingham anymore.

:rofl: F**k me whatever next........Baggie trousers

I think that I'd be handy

If they cast me as Winstanley

I'd be good in that role

With the music you'd be hearing

The dancefloor you'd be clearing

Oh if I only had some Soul

Has no one seen The Wiz? It was a film based on the Wizard of Oz with Micheal Jackson and Diana Ross. It was shite, but this article makes sense when you think about that. Maybe that's what they are making?

I think that " East Midlands vibe " is blokes with perms in vests sweating and gurning " that should have the ladies flocking to buy tickets...

Look - myself, Kitch and Dean thought we were being 'post modern ironic' by helping with this 'challenging juxtaposition of two nostalgic narratives'.

I'm the lead casting agent for the flying Monkeys. PM me for details ;) ;)

Ps how very dire.

Follow up already in the pipeline.

Set in a Miner's Welfare in the East Midlands around 1984,a young Maggie Thatcher and a youthful Arthur Scargill battle to take over the decks in the area,and run all promotions.

They are offered to double deck - and the rest is history.......

post-4669-0-16470500-1424618478_thumb.jpYou can't make this sh@t up ... No doubt  sadly there will not be a lack of  volunteers  

 

 

They should have no problem finding shortarses on the scene to play the munchkins.

 

Don't you the munchies?

Mark, you could have got back all the time, just close your eyes tap your heels three times and say there's no place like Stafford, there's no place like Stafford.

Depends on who's in the cast...

" ............ East Midlands vibe!"

"Put em up, put em up, I'll fight ya with one hand behind my back, me duck"

The term " Scraping the barrel" springs to mind. Just another band wagon venture :(

I have lived in Notts since day 1 and I would like to say that I would like to be counted out of the clown show.

Oh' it's bloody ironic that Nottingham should be the setting, isn't it? Once a magnet for those of us on pilgrimage to Wigan via The Brit Rowing Club, those dayers at the Palais during the Jazz-Funk scare with djs with unlikely names like Duke Polluta, a regional kinship with the Notts crowd that used to come down to Peterborough and St. Ives... so where's it at now?  The epicentre of the NS re-enactment society and now the Wizard of Oz meets NS stage phenomenon? Grotesque, 'kin grotesque.

I've seen it, there's a couple of good spins by Michael Jackson, end of review. 

Bottom line.If it comes to production, would you go and see it ?

Probably, I don't hold high hopes for it, but I'll feel justified having a moan up about it, should the need occur. 

In my opinion Notts has/is always been a huge supporter of the of the NS scene with top Djs and venues. We have more venues every week than I would care to mention, top promoters and paying punters. Some things are out of our hands.
