Making Magic In The Recording Studio!

Behind the scenes with two of our fabulous Birmingham cast!

Alister Wilmott and Amanda Board Salmon, who are two of our amazing cast in Beauty and the Beast at The Old Rep Birmingham, have been busy in the recording studio at Backland Studios this week!

While the panto season might still be a little way off, there is SO much that happens behind the scenes to get our shows ready for audiences. Alister and Amanda have been putting their vocal talents to work, recording some of the music and vocals that will bring the panto magic to life. 🎶

There’s plenty of hard work involved, but thankfully there’s also lots of fun and laughter along the way!

We love getting these little behind the scenes glimpses of our casts as they prepare for the season, and we can’t wait for audiences to see and hear the finished shows across our venues.

And with rehearsals, recording, costumes, scenery and lots more happening behind the scenes, the countdown to panto is well and truly on! ✨
