Singing Audition for "Beautiful: The Carole King" Musical

Lakewood, OH, United States
ID: 256477Exp: 2/19/2024
Description:

The Theatre is auditioning for the "Beautiful: The Carole King" musical. Looking for singers and performers. See the character descriptions below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Beautiful tells the true story of Carole King’s meteoric rise to fame as one of the twentieth century’s foremost singer-songwriters. We are introduced to Carole when she is 16 and pitching her first song (“It Might As Well Rain Until September”) to New York music producer Don Kirshner. Soon after, she meets her future husband and creative collaborator, Gerry Goffin. In a musical whirlwind, the couple are married, King gives birth to their first child and the duo make a name for themselves in the music business, knocking out hit after hit. However, while their careers are on the rise, Carole’s personal life falls apart when Gerry announces that he wants an affair. As Carole tries to negotiate marriage, adultery and personal happiness, she is supported by friends and playful rivals, Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann. Although they all compete for number one hits on the pop chart, Carole relies on their support to change her life and find her own voice. Set in the vibrant pop industry of the 1960s and early 1970s, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical features a tapestry of musical hits from the creative songwriting teams of King and Goffin, Weil and Mann. Additional info: Callbacks for “Beautiful” will occur the weekend of Feb. 24/25 times TBD. Please prepare a single brief (90 seconds or less) vocal selection in either Pop or Broadway style. Bring sheet music in your key. An accompanist will be provided. Self-accompanying on Piano or Guitar is also fine. See other details attached. To be considered, please set an appointment.
