Seeking Dancers and Singers for "Nine" Musical Drama
The company is holding auditions for "Nine" Musical Drama and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: The Musical is based on the Frederico Fellini film 8 1/2. The setting is 1960s Venice and tells the story of film director Guido Contini, who is facing a midlife crisis, stuck in a creative rut, and wrapped in numerous romantic entanglements. In an attempt to find some peace and save his marriage, he visits a spa near Venice. While Guido struggles here to find a story for his next film, he becomes increasingly preoccupied—visions of all the women from his life appear to him (some in reality, some as memories) as Guido’s life and imagination collide at full force. Additional info: Please arrive on time with 32 bars of an appropriate song (not from the show) that shows your range and personality. Bring sheet music or backing track in correct key, no acapella auditions please. Women should dress appropriately for dance/movement with correct shoes (jazz or character), if you have them. Please apply if interested.
