Scott Mills wants actor to play him at Edinburgh Fringe
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 30 June 2009
Yeah, not really music festival news, but news related to the biggest bloody festival in the world – the good old Edinburgh Festival. And Scott Mills, who will be presenting a few shows from big Fringe this August, has confirmed he will also be debuting a new stage show there – ‘Scott Mills The Musical’.
Yes, what apparently started out as a running joke on Mills’ Radio 1 drive time show has become a reality, with stage space booked at the Edinburgh Fringe’s Pleasance venue on 11-13 Aug. Listeners are busy sending in plot ideas, though what is currently lacking is an actor to play the DJ in the show. Cue a ‘How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria’ style actor search, though without a prime team television slot or the irritation of Graham Norton and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Contenders can apply now via the Scott Mills page on the Radio 1 website – here – and have until the end of the week to do so.
