KNOWN as 'the world's most popular Phantom', Peter Karrie is visiting the Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury and giving local singing fans the chance to join him for an on-stage experience of a lifetime.

Peter has played many roles in West End musical productions but is most famous for his acclaimed Andrew Lloyd Webber Phantom of the Opera portrayal, in which he impressed the critics with his 'rich, voluptuous, hypnotic' voice.

This year, he has put together a tour with a difference called Peter Karrie and Friends. It comes to the Roses on March 4 when he will be joined on stage by West End stars.

Each show is different, depending on the guests and locals are being invited to get in practice for auditions being held that afternoon.

From 4pm, people are invited to go along and sing for the show bosses, who will choose two winners who can step on stage during the performance later on to sing side by side with some of the best musical singers in the world.

Any talented would-be West End stars can call Yvonne on 07971 457805 or e-mail enquiries@peterkarrieandfriends.com to set up an audition. Book tickets on 01684 295074 (www.rosestheatre.org).
