Description:

The company is holding auditions for "A CHRISTMAS STORY" The Musical and looking for singers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: This musical, which received rave reviews on its Broadway run, is based on the movie classic that runs round-the-clock on television every Christmas. Set in the1940s in the fictional town of Hohman, Indiana, the musical follows 9-year-oldRalphie Parker and his quest for the Holy Grail of Christmas gifts—an Official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Rebuffed at every turn with a similar echoing response, Ralphie plots numerous schemes to achieve his desperate desire for the coveted BB gun. All the iconic scenes from the movie are here: Ralphie’s friend, Flick, getting his tongue stuck to the flagpole; his brother, Randy, getting dressed in his snowsuit; the bullies, Farkus and Dill; the leg lamp award; the bunny suit; Christmas dinner; and many others. The delightfully versatile score ranges from gentle ballads to show-stopping full-ensemble numbers such as “Ralphie to the Rescue!”, “A Major Award,” “Sticky Situation,” “Up on Santa’s Lap,” “Somewhere Hovering Over Indiana” and the inevitable “You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out!” A Christmas Story, The Musical will bring an exciting new dimension to those who have seen the movie and will certainly stand on its own for those who haven’t. Additional info: Show Dates: There will be 12 performances starting Friday, December 1st and ending Sunday, December 17th. SHOW TIMES: Fridays at 7:00pm/ Saturdays (2 shows) at 2:00pm and 7:00pm/ Sundays at 2:00pm. Be prepared to sing 16 to 32 bars (approximately a minute of music) in the style of this show, 1940’s.** Any more than 32 bars, will be cut off.** Bring music loaded to a player device. You will be given instructions to perform a short dance routine. Ability to tap dance is a BIG plus! You will be given Sides to read from. Bring resume and headshot (at least a close-up of face printed from a cell phone). You must bring your list of dates indicating what dates are conflicting with rehearsal dates. Absence Policy- Absolutely NO absences starting 11/13 through last performance, 12/17. Please see the attachment for more details. If interested, please apply
