"A Christmas Story: The Musical" Auditions for Kids and Teens

Auditions for "A Christmas Story: The Musical". Looking for boys and girls ages 8 and up. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: This 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, if needed, will be on Monday September 9th in the evening. Please prepare 1 to 2 minutes of a song from a musical or Disney movie (children) / musical only (adults). Please bring accompaniment on a Bluetooth-equipped device to be played on a portable speaker which we will provide. Wear comfortable clothes for the dance portion of the audition.
