OVER THE RAINBOW
Could you be Dorothy?
Following the success of How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, Any Dream Will Do and I`d Do Anything, BBC One is launching a new TV talent search to find Andrew Lloyd Webber a leading lady for the legendary musical, The Wizard of Oz.
`Over The Rainbow` will reunite host Graham Norton and music impresario, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, in the search for the nation`s Dorothy.
The chosen Dorothy will follow in the footsteps of previous winners, Connie Fisher (Maria), Lee Mead (Joseph) and Jodie Prenger (Nancy).
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber said: "Our previous musical talent searches have provided an incredible shot in the arm for musical theatre in Britain and I can`t wait to work with the BBC again in the hunt for Dorothy - an iconic role of course made famous by a young Judy Garland in the film in 1939."
The TV show is currently looking for potential Dorothys to audition as the nationwide search begins in January 2010, visiting Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester and London.
If you think you could be Dorothy then apply now to audition by going to bbc.co.uk/dorothy
All applicants must have been aged 16 or over by June 26th 2010.
