Dance Opportunities in "Shrek" Show
Audition for "Shrek". Looking for singers, performers, and dancers. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Shrek the Musical is a celebrated Broadway hit brought to life by an award-winning creative team — featuring music by Tony Award-winner Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Caroline, or Change) and book/lyrics by Pulitzer Prize-winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole, Kimberly Akimbo). This theatrical adaptation of the Oscar-winning DreamWorks film combines sidesplitting humor with a dynamic score that’s delighted audiences worldwide. Journey with us to a land where fairy tales take unexpected twists! When a grumpy ogre’s swamp is invaded by misfit storybook characters, Shrek reluctantly embarks on an epic adventure alongside a wisecracking Donkey to rescue a feisty princess who’s hiding secrets of her own. Along the way, they encounter a vertically-challenged villain, a sassy Gingerbread Man, and a cast of beloved fairy tale characters who turn traditional stories upside down. While the show delivers non-stop laughs and show-stopping musical numbers, Shrek‘s true magic lies in its heartwarming message about self-acceptance, friendship, and discovering that true beauty comes from within. This contemporary spin on fairy tales proves that what makes us unique makes us strong — and sometimes the greatest heroes come in the most unexpected packages. With stunning sets, magical special effects (including a custom, high-tech 13-foot dragon!), and Upper Room Theatre’s signature professional-caliber production value, this larger-than-life musical adventure promises to be unlike anything we’ve brought to our stage before! Additional info: Production runs July 15-20, with rehearsals starting May 22. You will be required to sing a contemporary musical theater piece for us. We expect that your vocal performances for us always demonstrate your storytelling and ACTING abilities. Every single role in this show requires strong acting. Plan for a 45-second private audition with our directors to show off your singing and acting. To be considered, please apply.
