These three young actresses have all landed roles in a professional touring production of a show starring opera supremo Lesley Garrett.

Briony Farr, Caragh Casserly and Charlotte Coles will all be performing in Carousel at the Manchester Opera House from November 10-15.

The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical is the story of the love affair between Billy Bigelow, a smooth-talking carousel barker, and Julie Jordan, a naive young mill worker.

The youngsters are being immersed in the musical world at the moment, as they are also appearing in Stage 84’s production of We Will Rock You at the Alhambra this week.

We Will Rock You features a score of songs by rock group Queen, and was written by Ben Elton in collaboration with former Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor.
