ORANGE AND WICKED LAUNCH NATIONWIDE 'WANNABE WICKED' CONTEST

 

Budding theatre wannabes take note, Orange has teamed up with the cast and crew of the hit West End musical WICKED to launch a nationwide search to find 'Britain's most WICKED'.

The competition, which celebrates Orange becoming official communications partner of the show, will see one lucky winner offered a once-in-a-lifetime, walk-on appearance in the spellbinding and spectacular show at London's Apollo Victoria Theatre.

To enter, and be in with a chance of rubbing shoulders with the cast, all you need to do is send in an audition clip of yourself, singing along to one of five WICKED excerpts (available free to download on www.orange.co.uk/wicked) that proves exactly just how 'WICKED' you really are.

A selection of the best clips will then be entered into a series of public votes on Orange World (the Orange mobile portal) allowing users to vote for their favourite 'wannabe witches' or 'wizards'. The semi-finalists from both categories will then be invited to London and audition 'X Factor style' in front of a panel of theatre experts, including WICKED's Executive Producer Michael McCabe, Resident Director Petra Siniawski and cast members Oliver Tompsett and Andy Mace.

Speaking about the auditions, Michael McCabe said: "We're really excited to be working on this groundbreaking collaboration with Orange. People will learn about the show, get involved with theatre and if they really impress us - get to appear on stage".

Steve Wallage, Content Manager, Orange UK said: "For us it's about bringing consumers closer to the entertainment they love, and this competition along with the exclusive backstage content we've worked with them to develop is a great way of doing that."

Exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the WICKED cast and crew, filmed by lead star Oliver Tompsett, are now available as a series of exclusive video diaries free to fans of the show on Orange World and at www.orange.co.uk/wicked. To find out more about this and on how to enter, visit www.orange.co.uk/wicked or Orange World if you're an Orange mobile customer.

Participants must be 16 or older to enter - for full terms and conditions, please see www.orange.co.uk/wicked
