We are seeking a dynamic cast of triple-threat performers to breathe life into this iconic show. The audition will be designed to evaluate dancing skills, acting, and vocal strength. We aspire to create a production that remains true to Michael Bennett's original vision, featuring fresh choreography while retaining some iconic moments. Our goal is to preserve the overall spirit and style of the show, set in its intended period and performed as written. The choreography will blend original Broadway from Michael Bennett and Bob Avian with innovative new ideas, honoring both the past and the future!
We encourage a diverse casting that includes performers of mixed ethnicities and ages. All roles are open to all ethnicities, genders, and people; unless specified otherwise.
We approach auditions with an additive perspective rather than an eliminative one. This means we are eager to discover your unique talents and how you can contribute to the show. There's no need to feel nervous—we will concentrate on the positive aspects of your performance. Embrace the process and enjoy!
Rehearsals
Rehearsals will be on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays, with the addition of Tuesdays starting in January.
Please note that not everyone will be called for every session.
If you have scheduling conflicts, feel free to reach out to discuss possible arrangements.
The first rehearsal will be on
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2024
