Kids Needed for "Singin’ in the Rain JR." Show

Seeking kids ages 6-14 for "Singin’ in the Rain JR." Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: The “Greatest Movie Musical of All Time” is faithfully and lovingly adapted by Broadway legends Betty Comden and Adolph Green from their original award-winning screenplay in Singin’ in the Rain JR. Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue, and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards make Singin’ in the Rain JR. a guaranteed good time for performers and audience members alike. Additional info: Invitational callbacks for the show will be by invitation on Wed, 12/16 from 6-9. The initial audition will consist of a singing audition and acting exercise. The invitational callbacks will include dance, singing, and script readings. Please note: performers will tap dance in this production and will have the opportunity to show tap skills at the callback if they choose. However, tap experience is NOT a prerequisite for casting. Directors are preparing to train and work with all experience levels. Audition Requirements: Please prepare a 32-bar (~60-second) cut from a song that fits the style of the show and suits your voice. This is a comedic Golden Age musical, so consider songs from musicals like Guys & Dolls, Bye Bye Birdie, Carousel, My Fair Lady, Kiss Me Kate, Anything Goes, or On The Town. Shows that are inspired by that style of music, such as The Producers, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Some Like It Hot, or The Drowsy Chaperone, would also be appropriate. Selections from the show are also encouraged. If you are auditioning for a lead who belts, we need to hear you belt! Avoid musicals from very different genres (“Les Mis”, for example, will not tell us how your voice will fit into this show!) Your audition should be memorized and demonstrate your ability to portray the character’s emotions, mannerisms, and other traits. Dance will not be done until the invitational callback. Please bring a device to play your accompaniment track on, such as a smartphone. REHEARSALS Rehearsals will be held 3 times per week: Sundays, 12-4; Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6-8:30pm.
