I will be selecting our spring show from the above musicals.  Auditions will be WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13 from 4:00-6:00pm, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14 from 3:15-4:30pm and CALLBACKS will be FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15 from 3:15-6:00pm.

 

Please choose from the attached selections.  Just choose one.  I will get a sense of what feels right once I hear your choices.

 

My first choice is NEWSIES.  Ladies, please know that the featured Newsies are often girls and are wonderful roles.  At face value it looks like it's a show for boys, but it is moving and epic and with the exception of a few roles, gender is not a factor in this experience from both participant and audience standpoint.

Challenge:  Lots of Dance in 8 weeks...but a deeply fulfilling experience.  It's really moving to see young people standing up for themselves!  Music is TERRIFIC.  Really a special show. And a challenge in all areas.  So many roles.  HUGE show.

 

Second, AVENUE Q: SCHOOL EDITION.  I will need to implement an ensemble.  12 + Features.  6 females, 6 males. I love this show. Love the music.  Love the social awareness.  Definitely something new for us as the Challenge is in the PUPPETRY.  But I do have someone to work with us on it. 

 

Third, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE.  This is the one that (to me) fills the bill more fully with regard to our Hastings female/male ratio - with a classic (and very funny AND well written) script and really fun, silly music.  5 females, 8 males (unless I make the 2 gangsters girls - which I think would work)

 

I would be happy with any of these.  Let's see what feels right!!
