Casting Talent for "Shrek The Musical" Show
The company is holding auditions for "Shrek The Musical" and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears. "Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek. Rate: $600.00 Rehearsals / $600.00 Performance (3 performances of 1600 people each) Additional info: Auditionees should memorize 16 bars of a Broadway classic or a song from SHREK, THE MUSICAL, and bring sheet or iPad music in their key and a professional headshot and resume.

Showtune Productions supports inclusive, non-traditional casting. Please apply if interested.
