Disney producers are looking for fresh talent to fill two major roles - a 17 year old girl named Rachel and a character called Thomas in his early twenties.
UK casting agent Kate Bone told the BBC: "We are doing this to find someone who might not have necessarily gone to drama school. They don't have to have acting experience - just the right look and then we can see if there's any talent there.
"We don't want to leave any stone unturned, we want to see what's out there. To find an unknown talent is very exciting."
Auditions also took place in Ireland at Dublin's Croke Park.
