Singer Needed for Gig "Urinetown"
Seeking talent for the "Urinetown" show. See the details below! About the project: URINETOWN is a hilarious and resonating tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. It is a social and political satire set in a fictional future where a terrible 20-year drought has crippled the city’s water supplies. Water is so scarce that the government enforces a ban on all private toilets in an effort to control water consumption. Citizens who try to circumvent the peeing-fee by relieving themselves in the bushes, risk being taken away to “Urinetown”, a mysterious place where many have been sent but no one ever returns… Additional info: A resume and headshot are recommended, but not required. Those auditioning need only attend one night of auditions, not both. Please prepare 16 bars (about 30 seconds to one minute) of a contemporary or rock/pop musical song that shows off your range, and provide piano score for accompaniment. Music should be printed and in a binder/folder to be used by the pianist accompanying the auditions. Callbacks will take place for individual shows on an as-needed basis.
