You know your pet pooch is already a star, but could it cut it on stage as a superstar?

Selladoor theatre company has announced a "Search For Toto" as two lucky canines will join Kelvin Fletcher, from Emmerdale, and Holly Tandy, from X Factor, at Blackpool Opera House this Christmas in an RSC adaptation of The Wizard of Oz.

They are seeking dogs big or small, young or old, hairy or bald to audition for the chance to star in the Christmas musical.

The dogs will alternate the part between performances and winning owners will also receive £500 to cover expenses.

You can submit your dog via the Winter Gardens web site and enter your pup’s details. You’ll need to include a video of it at its most impressive, either performing a trick or obeying a command.

Roadshow auditions are set to take place in Preston (August 7), Blackburn (8), Lancaster (9) and Blackpool (10).

A Grand Final will be held in the Winter Gardens Blackpool on August 26—which is also World Dog Day.
