Roselands Talent Search to Host Grand Final, July 6

After a very successful round of auditions held on 6 and 13 June, contestants are now preparing for the next step in their road to stardom. The successful contestants took to the stage for the HEATS at Roselands from Monday 1 to Friday 5 July. The contestants performed one act each in front of a panel of judges made up of industry professionals Mitchell Hicks, Jaz Flowers, Kirk Webeck, Luda Kroita, Monique Montez, Aric Yegudkin, Shane Stepien, Flip Simmons, Rebecca Tapia. The Grand Final Saturday 6 July will be judged by PJ Clarke, Danni Da Ros and Leanne Cherney.

Junior contestants will perform daily at 11.30am and Senior contestants at 1.30pm daily. Ten acts will be chosen to compete in the Junior Grand Final and ten acts in the Senior Grand Final Show, both shows to be held on Saturday, 6 July.

The winner will then join the long and impressive list of past ROSELANDS TALENT SEARCH contestants who have gone on to stellar careers. They include Human Nature, Paulini, Kathleen de Leon and Nathan Foley (Hi 5 members), Shaun Rennie (Mamma Mia, Cats, The Music of Andrew Lloyd Weber) Nikki Webster, Mitchell Hicks (Tap Dogs, The Boy from Oz, Hairspray and current production of A Chorus Line) Tamara Jaber (of pop group Scandalous and famously married to Kyle Sandilands), X Factor finalists Mahogany and Robert Jeffrey (Wicked) to name a few.

This year's quest now has greater meaning with the support of KidsXpress. Hailed as one of Australia's original and most distinguished talent quests, ROSELANDS TALENT SEARCH will not only showcase a wealth of young talent but also support young children in need. KidsXpress uses music, art and drama to empower children for life. Audience members will have the opportunity to donate to KidsXpress during the quest.

This unique competition provides a great opportunity to perform under the bright lights in front of a live audience. It's a great boost to help gain confidence and perhaps be the next winner of Australia's Got Talent, X Factor or The Voice.
