Auditions for Spotlights’ Summer Youth Musical: "Evita"

Auditions will be held on Sunday, April 10 and Monday, April 11 at 6:00 p.m.  Invited callbacks will be held on the evening of Wednesday, April 13.  Rehearsals will begin the week of April 24.  The show runs June 16 – 26.

Based on the true story of Eva Peron, First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952, this musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice won the 1980 Tony for Best Musical.

 

Performers (ages 11 to 20) are invited to audition for principle roles and the highly-featured ensemble.  Younger children (ages 7 & up) will be seen for roles in a children’s chorus.

Those aged 10 – 20 who are auditioning should:

·         Plan to attend only one night. 

·         Be somewhat familiar with the show, its themes, and music.

·         Prepare two contrasting songs (1 ballad, 1 up tempo), preferably written after 1975. 

·         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 24 and June 26 (including school concerts, lessons, practices, and games). 

Younger children (ages 7 – 11) auditioning for the children’s chorus should:

·         Prepare a short song to sing (approximately one-minute long) and bring piano sheet music. 

·         Bring a list of conflicts between April 24 and June 26 (including school concerts, lessons, practices, and games).
