Description:

Auditions for "Beautiful: The Carole King Story". Seeking cast. Please see more info below. About the project: "Long before she became the iconic singer-songwriter we know today, a young Carole Klein was turning out hits for some of the biggest acts in music from her cubicle in Manhattan’s Brill Building, a.k.a. The Hit Factory. Packed with over two dozen chart-topping hits including: So Far Away, Up on the Roof, It’s Too Late, and You’ve Got a Friend, Beautiful is both the story of the American dream, and the underbelly of the music industry." Additional info: For vocal auditions, music director would like those auditioning for the role of Carole King to prepare 30 – 60 seconds of a Carole King song (it can be a song from the show). All other roles should prepare 30 – 60 seconds of a 1960s Doo Wop song that highlights your vocal skills. Bring your backing track on the device of your choice that can be connected to a speaker by a regular headphone jack or bluetooth. NO ACAPELLA. For dance auditions, choreographer has requested you wear comfortable clothing with dance/closed toed shoes. NO flip flops, crocs or open toed shoes. There will also be cold readings from the script.
