‘My Fair Lady’ two-day auditions set
Participants are requested to bring a recent, nonreturnable wallet size snapshot, a short prepared song, and to arrive about 15 minutes prior to audition time in order to sign-in and collect audition materials. Actors, singers, dancers, and musicians of all ages are encouraged to audition.
“My Fair Lady” is based on George Bernard Shaw’s play “Pygmalion” and has been a musical favorite for years. When “Henry Higgins” makes a bet that he can turn a poor beggar girl (“Eliza Doolittle”) into a real lady just by changing her speech and manners, he doesn’t realize that this challenge will change his life as well as her’s forever. The show is filled with rousing musical numbers and colorful characters that should provide a delightful theatrical experience for both cast and audience members alike.
Parts are available for 30 to 40 men, women, and children of various ages. A large orchestra and production/technical staff will also be required so audition participants are encouraged to sign up for these positions as well. Speaking and singing parts will be available for adults and teens. Although there are no speaking parts for children or preteens, they will be parts available in the chorus or as extras. For more information about auditions, call (931) 454-0020.
