Auditions were held recently to find 24 young stars to appear in this year`s panto Beauty and the Beast at The Palace Theatre in Kilmarnock. The successful babes who will form 3 teams are

The Roses

Siobhan Bryden, Lindy Yorston, Eleace McConnell, Candice McIntosh, Terri Kelly, Lauren Lindsay, Connie Gibson & Sophie Brown.

The Briars

Lauren Aitken, Lauren Buswell, Jenna Richmond, Chloe Graham, Becky Hastie, Shannon Anderson, Rebecca Gilroy & Lucy McDowall.

The Thorns

Lois Wright, Claire Boyce, Lauren Kirkpatrick, Ainsley Templeton, Claire Murphy, Cara Gilbert, Rachel Young & Leah Andrew.

WISH who produce the panto say they were spoilt for choice as there was so much talent on show at the auditions and they had a very difficult task to select only 24 babes. Three other applicants were chosen as reserves Rebecca MacMurdo, Chloe Hastings & Daniele McIntyre.
