AUDITION REQUIREMENTS:

Please prepare 1 minute of an appropriate musical theatre song -- or a pop song from the 1950s or '60s -- that best showcases you, as well as the character's personality; bring a second selection as backup. If possible, avoid singing a song from the show; however, you are encouraged to familiarize yourself with the show's approach. From the creators: "Listen to Connie Francis, Doris Day, The Chordettes, & The McGuire Sisters for Act I styles; listen to Dusty Springfield, Lesley Gore, The Shangri-Las, & Betty Everett for Act II styles." Bring sheet music in your key; an accompanist will be provided. A CD with an accompaniment-only track is also acceptable, provided it is edited and cued correctly. No a cappella auditions. Auditioners may be required to learn a short dance/movement combination, so please come prepared to move; there may also be cold reading from the script.

All those auditioning are encouraged to provide a résumé of their onstage experience when registering for auditions. Please bring a list of all potential conflicts including travel, etc. Any conflicts with the posted schedule must be discussed with the Producer and agreed to by the Director before casting can be confirmed. ALL ROLES OPEN. No appointment necessary. Open Call Auditions. There is NO PAY.

PLOT SUMMARY:

This smash off-Broadway hit takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where we meet the Wonderettes, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! As we learn about their lives and loves, we are treated to the girls performing such classic '50s and '60s songs as "Lollipop," "Dream Lover," "Stupid Cupid," "Lipstick on Your Collar," "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me," "It's My Party," and over 20 other classic hits! You've never had this much fun at a prom and you will never forget The Marvelous Wonderettes -- a must-take musical trip down memory lane! "The fun never stops!" -Associated Press
