"Newsies" Musical Needs Teens

Teens aged 14-18 are welcome to audition for the "Newsies" Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Additional info: Please be prepared to change from street shoes to your dance or other indoor shoes at that point, especially if it is snowy or wet. Auditions will run in the following order: Dance, Vocals, then Callbacks after a brief break. Dance Auditions: For the dance auditions, please wear comfortable clothing. Please have dance shoes (character shoes/jazz flats) or clean sneakers if you do not have dance shoes. If you have tap shoes, please bring them. There will be time to change between the dance audition and the singing auditions if you would like to switch from dance clothes to vocal performance wear. Vocal Auditions: Please be prepared to sing a song from a musical theatre song that best shows your range and personality. Consider this portion of the audition an opportunity to showcase your acting as well. Directors suggest choosing a song in a similar style to the show. The length of your selection should be 32 bars (usually about one verse and one chorus). (If you choose to sing something longer, the creative team may ask you to stop before finishing. This does not mean you won’t get a callback; it simply means they have heard what they need.) We will have an accompanist available to you. You must bring your own sheet music. Please do not audition a cappella. Callbacks will be held that afternoon and should be done around 6:30pm. Note: Cast members will be asked to pay a materials fee. If interested, please apply.
