Auditions for Jane Banks in the Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward Theatre, Old Compton Street, London

On Saturday 8 September 2007 I attended the Urdang Academy, 20 – 22 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, and auditioned to play the part of Jane Banks in Mary Poppins in the West End, London and was given a recall for the next day with a script to rehearse.

On the evening of Saturday 8 September 2007 my Mum and I went to the Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward Theatre, Old Compton Street, London. The cast, production, choreography and scenery were absolutely awesome and I would love to play Jane Banks.

On Sunday 9 September 2007 I re-attended the Urdang Academy and auditioned throughout the day. Early evening on the same day, at the end of the auditions, I was one of the five remaining girls. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful for this part.

I loved the Mary Poppins auditions, enjoying the acting and singing that I did during the auditions and I liked meeting lots of other friendly children.

What an experience Amber, Congratulations on getting that far!!
