[NEohioPAL] Auditions for Youth Musical "Be More Chill"

[Annette Phelps]

 AUDITIONS FOR SPOTLIGHTS’ SUMMER YOUTH MUSICAL: 
"BE MORE CHILL"
The 2018 Broadview Heights Spotlights Summer Youth Production, Be More Chill, is based on the novel by Ned Vizzini. The show’s music and lyrics are by Joe Iconis, and the book is by Joe Tracz.  The main character is Jeremy, an average teenager. That is, until he finds out about “The Squip” – a tiny supercomputer that promises to bring him everything he desires most: a date with Christine, an invite to the raddest party of the year and a chance to survive life in his suburban New Jersey high school. 

Auditions will be held on Monday, April 23 and Tuesday, April 24 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.   No appointment is necessary, but those auditioning should arrive at least an hour before the scheduled end time.  Invited callbacks, if necessary, will be held by special arrangement later that week.  Rehearsals will begin the week of April 29.  The show runs June 21 – July 1. 

The show will be directed by Tim Anderson and music directed by Ryan Bergeron.
Performers (ages 13 to 20) are invited to audition. The show contains adult language and themes, and those auditioning and their parents should be familiar with the material before auditioning.

Those auditioning should:   
   - Plan to attend only one night of auditions.
   - Be familiar with the show and its music, language, and themes.
   - Prepare two one-minute, contrasting songs (one up-tempo, one ballad), at least one of which should demonstrate a contemporary vocal style.
   - Bring sheet music in the correct keys, hole-punched in a three-ring binder.  Singers will not be permitted to sing a cappella.
   - Bring a list of conflicts between April 29 and July 1 (including all school concerts, lessons, practices, games, family obligations, etc.).
