Branch of fast food chain Leon to only hire performers

A branch of fast-food chain Leon will only be hiring staff who can sing and dance.

Located opposite the Queen's Theatre, where Les Miserables is currently running, Leon will be holding auditions to recruit their staff.

The chain is hiring a large team of 40, meaning it will be easier for staff to take time off for auditions.

The restaurant will also allow the staff to perform for customers during shifts.

Co-founder John Vincent told the Evening Standard that the company wants to "provide a stage for West End hopefuls."

He said: "Perhaps our guests will be served by tomorrow's Miss Adelaide or Jean Valjean."

On their website, Leon say their vision is to 'prove that it was possible to serve food that both tastes good and does you good.'

If you think you've got what it takes, you can get more information by emailing charlotte@leonrestaurants.co.uk. Auditions take place on 19 and 26 January.
