Seeking Kids for "Shrek the Musical"

Seeking young performers for "Shrek the Musical". Please see the details below. About the project: "Shrek the Musical" is a one-of-a-kind, hilarious fairy tale in which curses are reversed, monsters get the girls, donkeys and dragons find love, and princesses are beautiful in all shapes and sizes. Grumpy, gruff, green ogre Shrek lives alone in his swamp. The world is fearful and mocking of him, and in turn, he is more than happy to leave the world to itself. Suddenly, his hermit existence is thrown open when a group of homeless fairy tale characters — Pinocchio, the Gingerbread Man, the Three Little Pigs, and more — burst upon his swamp, seeking refuge from the persecution of the cruel, vertically-challenged Lord Farquaad. Shrek seeks out Farquaad, who offers him a deal: if Shrek rescues Princess Fiona (whom Farquaad wishes to marry for her crown), then Farquaad will ensure the return of Shrek’s swamp by returning the fairy tale creatures to their homes. In a desperate attempt to regain his swamp’s hermetic peace, Shrek enters the world for The first time in his life. He travels to Princess Fiona’s prison, rescues her from a fire-breathing dragon, and then – scariest of all – is forced to get to know the princess as he tries to bring her back to evil Farquaad. To the determinedly unsocial ogre’s dismay, Fiona is very different from what he expected a princess to be. She may even provoke Shrek’s most novel experience yet: love. Additional info: Directors will provide all lines for each character on the day of auditions. Consider developing your interpretation of the character you’re auditioning for in your head prior to your audition. You will be expected to prepare a song that you feel both displays the best of your voice and the spirit of the character you are auditioning for. You will need to provide a backing track for this (YouTube karaoke is works great). Directors will also require you to prepare 16-20 measures of any song the character you are auditioning for sings in the show. Directors can provide the track for this. You will be range tested at the audition by the music director, so please arrive warmed up. If directors decide they want to see more, you’ll receive a call back. There will not be a dance call at auditions. You will need to provide your dance experience on your audition sheet. If directors decide they want to see you dance, you’ll receive a call back. See the attachment for details. If interested, please apply.
