"Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer the Musical" Needs Kids

Kids ages 10 and up are welcome to audition for "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer the Musical". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: The holiday classic soars off the screen in this musical adaptation of the beloved television special. Filled with holiday hits like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas." Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer features all of your favorite characters including: Santa and Mrs. Claus, Hermey the Elf, Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster, Clarice, Yukon Cornelius and, of course, Rudolph. It’s an adventure that teaches us what makes you different can be what makes you special. Because of his shiny nose, Rudolph doesn't feel like he belongs in Christmastown and sets off to find a place that accepts him. Along his journey, he encounters fellow misfits, only to realize that home is where he has belonged the whole time. When a storm threatens to keep Santa's sleigh from taking flight, what makes Rudolph different turns out to be what helps him save Christmas!
