[NEohioPAL] AUDITIONS FOR "THE DROWSY CHAPERONE" IN NEW PHILADELPHIA

[Chad Roberts]

*The Drowsy Chaperone* by Bob Martin and Don McKellar with music and lyrics
by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison is a parody of American musical comedy of
the 1920s. The story concerns a middle-aged, asocial musical theatre fan;
as he plays the record of his favorite musical--the (fictional) 1928 hit
The Drowsy Chaperone-- the show comes to life in his living room as he
wryly comments on the music, story, and actors. The Drowsy Chaperone opened
on Broadway on May 1, 2006. The show won the Tony Award for Best Book and
Best Score. The show has had major productions in Toronto, Los Angeles, New
York, London, and Japan, as well as two North American tours.
Auditions for *The Drowsy Chaperone* will begin at *8:00 pm Sunday and
Monday, November 18 & 19* at The Little Theatre of Tuscarawas County, 466
Carrie Ave. NW, New Philadelphia, OH 44663. Registration will begin at *7:30
pm*. All who audition should provide their own sheet music or vocal track.
Please NO a capella auditions. An accompanist will be provided. Songs
should be 24-32 bars in length, and preferably not from the show.
There will be a movement audition as well, so comfortable clothing should
