Seeking Kids & Teens for "Shrek" The Musical

South Burlington, VT, United States
ID: 534996Exp: 1/3/2023
Description:

Looking to cast boys & girls ages 8+ for "Shrek" The Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Fun Home, Caroline, or Change, and Kimberly Akimbo) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there’s more to the story than meets the ears. “Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek….” And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand… and his name is Shrek. Additional info: Everyone auditioning for Shrek must perform one reading selection and one vocal selection from the choices provided. To decide which pieces to perform, please click links below for detailed Character Descriptions, followed by the Audition Material Selection Guide. See documents attached for all details. If you are interested, please apply.
