Singing Audition for "Pippin" Musical Show
The company is holding auditions for "Pippin" Musical show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: There's magic to do when a prince learns the true meaning of glory, love and war in Stephen Schwartz's iconic and unforgettable musical masterpiece. With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, Pippin is the story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary. Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, this updated circus-inspired version of Pippin continues to captivate and appeal to the young at heart throughout the world. Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great).

Pippin's message is universal and will connect with audiences across the age spectrum. Rated PG-13. Additional info: Audition Information: Bring one headshot and one resume.
