4 BLACK ROSE THEATRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR Disney s Alice in Wonderland JR Book adapted and additional lyrics by David Simpatico Music Adapted and Arranged and Additional Music and Lyrics by Bryan Louiselle Based on the 1951 Disney film Auditions will be held Monday, July 27th and Tuesday, July 28th at 6:00pm in the Black Rose Theatre Company building. You be entering K5 up to a high school senior to audition. Lewis Carroll s famous inquisitive heroine comes to life in Disney s Alice In Wonderland JR., a delightful adaptation of the classic Disney film. Join Alice as she chases the White Rabbit, races the Dodo Bird, gets tied up with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, raps with a bubble blowing Caterpillar, and beats the Queen of Hearts at her own game! Roles are plentiful, including three Cheshire Cats and dozens of other wonderfully wacky characters, providing plentiful opportunities to showcase students of all different musical skill levels. Includes a chorus of kids playing in the park, rock lobsters, talking fish, royal cardsmen, unbirthday partiers, as well as a group of mean girl flowers. Auditions will be a cold read from the script. For the musical portion of our auditions, we prefer, but do not require those hoping to get solos to have a second song ready to perform. We will not have any accompaniment available for this. Performers may provide their own accompaniment, bring a CD, or sing a capella. Those who do not have a piece prepared, but want to be considered for a solo, will be put in groups of 3 and sing a section of music chosen by the music director.we are planning some exciting things for this musical! We need dancers and drummers. If you are experienced in any genre of dance (ballet, tap, hip hop, break dancing, gymnastics, etc ) please come prepared to show off your dance skills with our choreographer. Drummers, please be sure you let us know about your level of experience on the audition form that will be provided when you arrive at auditions.
