Description:

The company is holding auditions for "Into the Woods" Musical Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Fairy tales collide in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s captivating musical, Into the Woods. When a baker and his wife venture into the woods to lift a witch’s curse, they collide with Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of beanstalk fame), and Rapunzel, each on their own quest to fulfill their deepest wish. As their stories intertwine, they must confront their deepest fears and desires, learning that every wish has a price and that sometimes the things you wish for are not what you truly need. Filled with wit, charm, and a touch of darkness, Into the Woods is a magical theatrical experience that is sure to leave you spellbound. Additional info: Prepare: A 30-60 second cut of a musical theater song to be sung with piano accompaniment or track. You may sing from the show if you’d like, but it is not required. Please bring sheet music for accompaniment (accompanist will be provided) or a track that can be played from your phone and connected to a wireless Bluetooth speaker. Tip: Generally, 30 seconds of a song is about 16-32 bars, depending on tempo. Don’t be afraid to time yourself singing it to make sure. When in doubt while selecting, use the 1-and-1 Rule: one verse & the chorus. Appropriate and comfortable attire for a short movement exercise. Please apply if interested.
