ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking singers for Musical "Anne of Green Gable". See the details below. About the project: Based on the beloved novel by L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables – The Musical™ follows the precocious and imaginative Anne Shirley as she captures the hearts and minds of her newfound family and neighbors in the small farming community of Avonlea – simply by virtue of her own pluck and personality. This original, glorious adaptation – now firmly embedded in Canadian national culture and musical theatre canon – continues to enrapture audiences around the world with its rich score and a rare, affecting story for all ages. Anne of Green Gables – The Musical™ started life as a TV musical adaptation, originally premiering on CBC Folio in 1956. Anne of Green Gables – The Musical™ premiered on the mainstage at Charlottetown Festival, becoming a perennial favorite for all those who visit Canada’s Prince Edward Island. The production (which underwent significant changes in 2011) has run every year since its stage inception, and has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the Longest-Running Annual Musical Theatre Production. The musical premiered in London in 1967 and at New York City Center in 1972. Rate: These are volunteer positions. Additional information: Please prepare 32 bars (30 seconds) of a musical theatre song that fits the style of the show and best demonstrates your vocal abilities.
