Young Talent Wanted for "The Wizard of Oz" The Musical

Millville, NJ, United States
ID: 567536Exp: 4/21/2024
Description:

Audition for "The Wizard of Oz" Show. Looking to cast teenagers. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACEPTED. About the project: L. Frank Baum’s classic novel comes to life in The Wizard of Oz. This faithful adaptation by the Royal Shakespeare Company features all the most beloved songs and moments from the 1939 classic film, brought to life onstage. Young Dorothy Gale is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz. There, she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home. Additional info: This is a non-equity, community theater production. However, lead roles and adult ensemble members will receive a small travel stipend; children's ensemble members will not receive a stipend. Dancers are strongly encouraged to participate! Walk-ins will be accepted between appointments if availability allows. Auditionees will receive a number to wear. Photos will be taken at auditions with that number, only for our reference, and will be discarded after casting. You will be able to specify on your audition form whether you will accept a flying role or not. Flying roles have weight restrictions due to the constraints of the flying system. Flying actors will be trained and must attend all three nights of flying training (July 22-24). An accompanist will not be provided so be sure to have your music with you on a device. Bluetooth capabilities and an aux cord will be available. Ages 16 and up will be accepted. Prepare a ballad or up-tempo song from the traditional musical theater era. 16-32 bars or 1-1/2 minutes is enough. Sign up for a vocal audition time slot on the SignUpGenius link under the Audition Signup section. Plan to arrive at the theater 10 minutes before your audition time slot. LEAD ROLES / ADULT ENSEMBLE CALLBACKS: April 23, 6:30-9:00pm, by invitation only. If interested, please apply.
