Alasdair takes to the stage with Tommy Steele - 10/12/09

Published: 10 December, 2009

Plymouth College Preparatory School pupil, Alasdair Lambie, 7, is starring alongside musical and screen legend, Tommy Steele, in a production of 'Scrooge' at Plymouth's Theatre Royal.

Alasdair was chosen to play 'Tiny Tim' opposite Steele's 'Ebenezer Scrooge' after a challenging audition process earlier this term.  As well as a number of lines to speak, Alasdair also sings a solo.

All the children taking part in the production belong to theatre group, Plym Kids.  Alasdair has been a member for nearly 12 months and takes part in singing, acting and dancing sessions on Saturday mornings.  This is not Alasdair's first time on the big stage - he was in the cast of Evita also at the Theatre Royal earlier this year.

"I was really pleased to get the part of Tiny Tim", said Alasdair.  "I was a bit nervous to start with so I practised my lines and song a lot and then I really enjoyed it."
