 The musical is searching for boys between 9 and 12 years old who are no taller than 4’10”. Auditionees must be excellent actors, singers (unbroken voice) and move well. Travel to London for rehearsals is required, as well as a stay in Plymouth for the first week of the run (accommodation will be provided).

 Based on the beloved 2003 New Line Cinema hit starring Will Ferrell, Elf: The Musical is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported back to the North Pole. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, discover his true identity, and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Six Miles From Home

This June marks the 50th anniversary of the Stockport air disaster, the fourth worst disaster in British aviation history and an event forever ingrained in the memory of the town of Stockport. Returning holidaymakers to Manchester after a trip to Mallorca, an aircraft owned by British Midland Airways crashed at Hopes Carr, a small patch of open land near the centre of the town. Of the 84 people on board, only 12 survived. A brand new film chronicling the events of that fateful day premieres at Stockport Plaza this Saturday.  A huge crowd gathered at the crash sight on the morning of Sunday 4th June. (Image: MEN/Daily Mirror) Occurring at 10:09am on Sunday 4th June, the crash drew an enormous crowd of around 10,000 Stockport residents, many of whom set about attempting to pull survivors from the wreckage. Within moments, however, the plan was engulfed in flames and no more than the initial 12 could be rescued. That nobody on the ground was harmed - given that the crash occurred

VIDEO: Shaun Ryder takes over Manchester Metrolink

Quaytickets enjoyed a surreal journey to work this morning as Manc music legend Shaun Ryder took over the Metrolink as part of BBC Music Day. The Black Grape and Happy Mondays front man provided announcements to bemused passengers on the Media City UK line, offering his...unique...insights upon arrival at each stop. Ryder, like the rest of us, had no idea what Pomona station was for. "Pomona?! Never heard of it!" he announced, declaring that the metro was (of course) "twisting his melon." Predictably enough, as the tram pulled into Exchange Quay Ryder gave a shout of "come on you Reds!" in reference to nearby Old Trafford. The singer reminisced about his home town at Salford Quays, adding that it was very different from the place he knew as a child. Several passengers laughed out loud as Ryder announcement for Anchorage began excitedly but ended in audible disappointment, all to the tune of Gorillaz' DARE .  Those unfamiliar with Ryder's

The Enduring Appeal of Trainspotting

Trainspotting Live plays at The Lowry, Salford from Tuesday 6th June to Saturday 10th June. "Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a f***ing big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers..." The scathing "Choose Life" monologue, delivered in the opening scene of 1996's Trainspotting (in which a young Ewan McGregor hurtles down Edinburgh's Princes Street, pursued by security guards) is seen and heard everywhere. T-shirts, mugs, bedspreads and posters on the wall of just about every student flat in Scotland bear the obscenity-filled passage with its distinctive orange and white design. Almost 25 years since the release of Irvine Welsh's novel, and two decades since Danny Boyle's original film, the imagery of  Trainspotting is well and truly ingrained in British popular culture. Now, as the successful and controversial new stage adaption arrives at The Lo
