Auditions for Spotlights’ Summer Youth Musical: "Disaster!"

The 2017 Broadview Heights Spotlights' Summer Youth Production of Disaster! is the Ohio Premiere of the 2016 Broadway musical spoof of the disaster films of the 1970s, featuring well-known pop songs from that era. 

Auditions will be held on Sunday, April 9 and Monday, April 10 at 6:00 p.m.  Invited callbacks will be held, if necessary, on the evening of Wednesday, April 12 or by special arrangement.  Rehearsals will begin the week of April 23.  The show runs June 22 – July 2. 

The show will be directed by Tim Anderson and music directed by Ryan Bergeron.

 

Performers (ages 10 to 20) are invited to audition for principle roles and the highly-featured ensemble. The show contains sexual innuendo and limited profanity.

Those aged 10 – 20 who are auditioning should:

• Plan to attend only one night of auditions. 
  
  
• Be somewhat familiar with the show, its themes, and music.
  
  
• Prepare two 1-minute selections of contrasting songs (1 ballad, 1 up tempo), at least one of which should be a pop song from the 1970’s. Songs featured in the show are acceptable.
  
  
• 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 3 and July 2 (including school concerts, lessons, practices, and games).
