MUNCHKINS: Nicola Sims and Shannon Kelly are set for the West End CRDC20120127E-001_C
Nicola Sims, six, and Shannon Kelly, nine, are on the Yellow Brick Road to success after securing their place in the hit musical.
The students from Bright Sparks Performers, who practice at Fairfield Halls in Croydon, were ecstatic when they got the news.
Nicola, from Crystal Palace, and Shannon, from Shirley, will be playing Munchkins during the six-month run starting in March at the London Palladium.
Michaela Kelly, Shannon's mum and principal of the school, said: "They auditioned 400 children. It was quite a gruelling process – it's very competitive."
The girls will start rehearsals next month and the opening night will be March 2.
