Seeking Children for "Mary Poppins" Show
Looking for young performers to audition for the "Mary Poppins" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: This uplifting and energetic musical is sure to delight all ages. Bert, a chimney sweeper, introduces us to the troubled Banks family in 1910 London. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins appears at their doorstep. The family finds that she is the answer to their prayers but in the most peculiar way. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Songs include “A Spoonful of Sugar,” “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” “Step in Time,” and “Let’s Go Fly a Kite.” Additional info: Everyone should be prepared with 16 to 32 bars of a Broadway song that showcases their ability. No unaccompanied singing will be permitted. An accompanist will be provided. Please bring paper copies of your sheet music using the appropriate key. A song will be taught to those without a prepared number. Everyone will participate in a general movement audition. No special dance clothing is required, just clothes and shoes that are comfortable to move in. Please bring dance or character shoes to change into, if you have them available. During the movement audition, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate advanced dancing skills if you would like to be considered for a full dancing and singing ensemble role, Bert, or Mary Poppins.
