Looking for Kids for "A Christmas Story" Show
Audition for "A Christmas Story" Show. Looking to cast boys and girls. Please see the details below. About the project: The musical, which received rave reviews on its Broadway run, is based on the movie classic that runs round-the-clock on television every Christmas. Set in the 1940s in the fictional town of Hohman, Indiana, the musical follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker and his quest for the Holy Grail of Christmas gifts—an Official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Rebuffed at every turn with a similar echoing response, Ralphie plots numerous schemes to achieve his desperate desire for the coveted BB gun. All the iconic scenes from the movie are here: Ralphie’s friend, Flick, getting his tongue stuck to the flagpole; his brother, Randy, getting dressed in his snowsuit; the bullies, Farkus and Dill; the leg lamp award; the bunny suit; Christmas dinner; and many others. The delightfully versatile score ranges from gentle ballads to show-stopping full-ensemble numbers such as “Ralphie to the Rescue!”, “A Major Award,” “Sticky Situation,” “Up on Santa’s Lap,” “Somewhere Hovering Over Indiana” and the inevitable “You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out!” A Christmas Story, The Musical will bring an exciting new dimension to those who have seen the movie and will certainly stand on its own for those who haven’t. Additional info: Callbacks are scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 1 (3-5 p.m.) Rehearsals will start Oct. 9. Performances will be Dec. 7-10. Auditionees are asked to prepare approximately one minute of a song (preferably from a musical, please provide sheet music for the accompanist, or a karaoke track can be played) and will be asked at the audition to learn a small dance combination and do a cold reading from the script (provided at the audition.) If interested, please apply.
