Over 200 local citizens took part in auditions in September 2016 that were open to everyone. In January, intensive one-to-one rehearsals began with 600 HIGHWAYMEN.

A cast of 45 incredible Bristolians, from 8 to 75 years old, came together for the very first time on the opening night on stage at Bristol Old Vic.

Over 1,000 tickets were sold to local, national and international audiences for four performances of The Record, a UK premiere at IBT17 Festival.
