WIS Students in Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s EVITA

The Producers of EVITA are delighted to announce today the 18 Hong Kong children who will perform in Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical in its debut Hong Kong season from 11 May until 10 June 2018 which includes three West Island students: Nicolas Yu, Harry Nicholls and Chase Smith.

The audition, held in mid-March, saw Resident Director Anton Luitingh fly in to put the youngsters through a series of acting and singing tests. The 18 Hong Kong young actors and actresses aged from eight to 13 have been handpicked from amongst 200+ talented and passionate boys and girls who competed for the roles in the show.

‘It is a really tough task to choose only 18 young performers from all the potential applicants. I can see so much talent in Hong Kong and I am really looking forward to working with these young performers in May.’ said Anton.

EVITA comes to Hong Kong as part of an international tour, taking in Singapore, Taipei and Tokyo, and is presented in Hong Kong by Lunchbox Theatrical Productions and David Atkins Enterprises in association with David Ian Productions and Pieter Toerien Productions, and by special arrangement with The Really Useful Group.

Congratulations to Nicolas, Harry and Chase on a superb achievement!
