Singing Audition for "The Lightning Thief" Show
Looking for actors ages 16 and up for "The Lightning Thief" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly discovered powers he can’t control, a destiny he doesn’t want, and a mythology textbook’s worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus’s master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed in his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him. Additional info: Please prepare 32 bars of music from a song in a similar style to the show from a modern Broadway show or rock song that best shows your voice and range. You may use a song from the show. Legible sheet music must be provided for the audition pianist. Recorded accompaniment or a cappella auditions are not allowed. Please wear or bring appropriate clothes and shoes for the dance portion of auditions. If you are invited to callbacks, music cuts and sides from the show will be provided. Please find the songs attached if you’d like to review them ahead of time. You will be given time at callbacks to learn the music. If interested, please apply.
