Breakdown

Female Ensemble:
All female dancers should have a degree of innocence about them and look very young (18-25). We need experienced, classically trained dancers.

Male Ensemble:
All male dancers must be classical/ballet dancers. They should have solid classical technique with a musical theatre flair. They must be well built and muscular.

We need strong classical dancers. We are not looking for tap dancers, jazz dancers, or “hoofers.”

There is no solo singing for the dancers (except ‘Meg’), but they will have to carry some vocal responsibility in the ensemble numbers.

In addition, there is the principal role of ‘Meg’ who is a member of the Corps de Ballet. She should appear to be between 16 and 18 years old. The range is mezzo-soprano to G.
