Singing Opportunities for Kids in "Shrek JR" Musical

Kids ages 6-14 years old are invited to auditions for "Shrek JR." Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Once upon a time, in a faraway swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task - if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way. Additional info: Audition Requirements: Please prepare a 32-bar ( approximately 60-second) cut from a song that fits the style of the show and suits your voice.
