Performers Wanted for Disney's "Tarzan"
"Tarzan" musical needs actors. Please see the breakdown below. Additional info: Please prepare a 16 bar cut of a song from a modern broadway musical in the style of the show. You will need to provide your own accompaniment track ie youtube video or mp3 to play for your audition. Prepare to do a cold reading from the script as well as a dance/movement audition. Tarzan is a movement heavy show, as the ensemble is part of the exciting ape village. *If you are auditioning for the role of TARZAN: At the end of the evening you will be asked to demonstrate your agility ie Crawling, jumping, rolling, and give your best “Tarzan YELL” without a shirt on. Tarzan will perform almost the entire show without a shirt and directors need to see that you’re comfortable with that. Production dates: March 6-15. If you are interested, please apply.
