"Esther" The Musical Casting Performers

"Esther" the musical in need of cast. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see more info below. About the project: It is the classical Biblical story with a twist and a true fun-filled Purim Speil. With original songs based on Kletzmer Songs, Rap, Showtunes, Country, Ragtime and Pop, this show is a rapid, surefire, farcical, tongue-in-cheek-retelling of the rise of Esther and her salvation of the Jews in Persia in 483 B.C.E. Come join the party! Rate: Unpaid. Additional info: WHAT TO PREPARE: • ALL Auditions will consist of a singing element and dance element. No reading from the script will happen at the initial auditions on Saturday and Sunday. • VOCAL AUDITION: ALL Auditionees should prepare 16-32 bars of a song. Bring a copy of your sheet music with you for the accompanist. You must sing with an accompanist - music tracks or a capella will not be accepted. Musical theatre songs are encouraged over Pop songs. • DANCE AUDITION: Everyone will learn a short dance combination. This will show us whether you can follow simple choreography and you will have a chance to inform us of your experience level. • KNOW your schedule. Bring your personal calendar and know of any conflicts you may have from November 10, 2024 through February 9, 2025. Rehearsals will primarily be between 6:00 pm and 10 pm, Sundays – Thursdays. There will be no rehearsals November 27 – 30 or December 20 - Jan 4. Performances are Jan 30- Feb 9, 2025. CALLBACKS: • Monday, November 4 from 6:00 – 9:00 pm • CALLBACKS ARE BY INVITATION. Auditionees will be contacted Sunday evening, November 3. • Those invited to callbacks will read scenes and sing songs from the show, and may be asked to dance again as directors look for additional dance needs – they might be looking for some specialties: tap, hip hop, break dancing and acrobatic tricks. Directors also will want to know if you play any instruments. If you are interested, please apply.
