Child Audition for Musical "The Music Man"

Auditions for 2024 summer musical, "The Music Man". The show is performed by a large cast of actors ages 8 and up. Please see the details below. About the project: The Music Man, with music, book, and lyrics by Meredith Willson, based on a story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey, follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize - this despite the fact he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian. Additional info: Auditioners should prepare one minute of a familiar musical theater song that best showcases them in a style from the show. All are encouraged to bring a second selection as a backup for their audition song. Auditioners must bring sheet music in their key for the accompanist. Singing with an accompaniment-only music track (no vocals), on a CD or Bluetooth device, is also acceptable. A cappella auditions are discouraged. Auditions will also consist of reading from the script. Auditioners should come comfortably dressed to move, as they may be required to learn a short dance/movement combination. Preference may be given to auditioners who are available for the entire rehearsal period, beginning April 22. Cast members should be available for technical rehearsals scheduled for July 7-11, and must be available for all performances July 12, 13, 14 and July 19, 20, 21. If interested, please apply.
