Rehearsal Schedule:
The first rehearsals will take place on Wednesday, March 19 and Friday, March 21. For this show, most large group rehearsals will be held Friday evenings, plus Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Leads or other small groups will be called on Mondays and Wednesdays as needed. During tech week (the week before the show opens), your child will have mandatory rehearsal EVERY evening from 5:30-9:00 PM. If this is too late for your child, please do not have them audition. Final dress rehearsal WILL go later, as it is a Friday evening. PLEASE submit all conflicts on the back of your AUDITION FORM (NOT the Attendance Policy). We will not be accepting any conflicts for the week of tech week or any shows, and please note, as always, your conflicts may affect casting decisions. Final rehearsal schedule will be available by March 21.
Preparation:
Prepare 16-32 bars of an age appropriate song in your range that also shows off your acting skills! Complete these two forms (Audition Form & Attendance Policy) prior to arriving for your audition. It is preferred for the Audition Form to be filled out on a computer so that all fields are completed and legible. The form works best when opened and completed in Adobe Acrobat (not a web browser).
Arrive on the day of your audition at least 10 MINUTES early to sign-in at The Biz office and be sure to bring the following:
- A BACKUP TRACK OF YOUR SONG ON A PHONE (no singing can be on the backup track). You can bring SHEET MUSIC too, but an accompanist may not be available, so please be sure to bring a backup track.
- YOUR COMPLETED AUDITION FORM & ATTENDANCE POLICY
- ALL MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY CONFLICTS (including holidays) FROM March 19 – May 17, WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF THE AUDITION FORM. Please include any vacations! We require ALL cast members to be available for every night of tech rehearsals and ALL shows. (Conflicts added after casting may result in being asked to step down from the show.)
- DRESS UP and bring CLOTHES THAT YOU CAN DANCE IN. We will hold a mandatory 30 minute dance audition after every 2 sets of singing time slots.
Synopsis:
The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, this enthralling fairy tale still warms the hearts of children and adults alike.
In this specially created Youth Edition, all the beloved songs and familiar characters are present and accounted for. However, the entire script has been condensed to better suit young attention spans, and the plot has been slightly altered to highlight some important lessons for contemporary audiences.
