Kid Performers Needed for "Cinderella" (enchanted version)
Audition for "Cinderella" (enchanted version). Casting boys and girls ages 5+. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, this romantic fairy tale still warms the hearts of children and adults alike. This Enchanted Edition is inspired by the 1997 teleplay. Additional info: Each auditioner: Should arrive at an audition in casual clothing. No character-based outfits or costumes.
