Young Talent Wanted for "Grease" Musical
Seeking talents ages 16 and up for "Grease" Musical. Please see the details below. About the project: Here is Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys’ and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as “Greased Lightnin’,” “It’s Raining on Prom Night” and “Alone at the Drive-In Movie,” recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An eight-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals, along with innumerable school and community productions, place Grease among the world’s most popular musicals. Additional info: For auditions, prepare 16-32 bars of a classic musical theater song. Please bring sheet music (or a recorded karaoke track) for the accompanist, with the part you are singing clearly marked. Acapella singing or karaoke tracks are ok. Be prepared to list any rehearsal and/or performance date conflicts. You may be asked to sing or read from the script as well as learn a quick dance piece. Performance Dates: October 10-13/17-19/24-26 For mature ages. Mild adult themes If interested, please apply.
