Casting Kids and Teen Performers for "Newsies" The Musical

Looking for teenagers for "Newsies". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACEPTED. About the project: Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged "newsies." When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right! Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience. Additional info: Rehearsal schedule will be Mondays through Thursdays between 6:00 and 9:00 for the 7 weeks before performance. During the first 3 weeks, we will work in smaller groups and not everyone will have to be there everyday. However, if you have a "Newsies" role, you will need to expect more days of rehearsal. At the first of every week I will communicate the rehearsal schedule to you. This means: 1) You are prepared with a pencil at every rehearsal 2). You will immediately begin to memorize your lines and music as soon as you know your character. 3). You will not be disruptive during rehearsal. 4). You will bring water with you and wear comfortable clothes 5). Take notes and memorize instructions so it does not have to be re-taught. 6). You will be at rehearsals. There is an audition fee.
