Kid Actors Needed for "The Little Mermaid" Show
Searching for kids ages 8 and above for "The Little Mermaid" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories and the classic animated film, Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages. With music by eight-time Academy Award winner, Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs, including “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl” and “Part of Your World.” Ariel, King Triton’s youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull, and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea. Additional info: Your audition process will begin with you singing a song of your choosing with an accompanying track (played from your phone or USB device). You may also be asked to participate in a brief dance routine as part of your audition process (nothing will be too difficult and previous experience is not necessary). Please bring a song of your choice prepared to sing for directors that shows off your vocal type and range. Make sure your song is under one minute long and preferably not a song from the show you are auditioning for. Directors recommend singing one verse and a chorus of a song is typically just the right length. Rehearsals for this production will begin on April 29th. Performances are July 12-14 and July 19-21. When applying, please download the audition form attached, complete and email it.
