Young Talent Wanted for "A Christmas Story: The Musical"

Amarillo Little Theatre Academy students aged 8-12 are invited to audition for "A Christmas Story: The Musical". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: This musical, which received rave reviews in 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!” Additional info: CALLBACKS: Tuesday, October 8th starting around 7:00 pm. REHEARSAL PERIOD: October 14 - December 4, 2024, 7:00-10:00 pm, Monday - Thursday. Afternoons on Saturdays and Sundays are also a possibility for choreography. (Directors will distribute detailed rehearsal schedules for all actors.) PERFORMANCES: December 5-22, 2024 Thursday shows at 7:30 pm, Friday and Saturday shows at 8:00 pm, and Sunday shows at 2:30 pm. (No matinee performance on December 8.)
