Nell is described as "a bright and brilliant 12-year-old girl with a wonderful spirit and great singing and dancing skills".
The casting director for Toy Show The Musical is Maureen Hughes who previously casted roles in Once, The Butcher Boy, Love/Hate, Raw and Charlie.
Auditionees should be between the ages of 11-16 with a playing age of 12 years old.
The application process is straightforward and involves recording a short video and filling out an application form.
Maureen Hughes and show's director Seimi Campbell will be reviewing the application videos.
Each video should include the auditionee singing a verse and chorus of a song of their choice, describing a bit about themselves including any experience they may have in singing, acting, dancing or playing an instrument and any interesting hobbies or party pieces they might have.
Successful applicants will then be shortlisted for an in-person audition which will held in June at a venue in Dublin city centre. Auditionee’s will meet Maureen Hughes and perform a monologue or short poem. They will also be asked to sing.
Full details and terms and conditions can be found at www.rte.ie/toyshowthemusical.
Tickets for Toy Show The Musical are on sale now and start at €25.
