Auditions Announced For Off-Broadway Smash Hit Musical Comedy DISENCHANTED at Theatre 29

Theatre 29 will hold open auditions for the new Off-Broadway comedy musical “Disenchanted” on Monday, April 8th at 6:00pm on the Theatre 29 Main Stage (73637 Sullivan Road, Twentynine Palms). Book, Music & Lyrics by Dennis T. Giacino and developed with and originally Directed Off-Broadway by Fiely Matias, this “not-so-happily-ever-after” look into the lives of our favorite storybook princesses will take the stage by storm May 24 – June 9th.

Multi award-winning Director Charles Harvey is looking for a cast of 10 Women over the age of 18.  This show has no roles for men. There are no roles for children or teenagers, this is an adult themed show.

Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses prove, in this hilarious hit musical, their stories are anything but Grimm. The original storybook heroines are none-too-happy with the way they’ve been portrayed in today’s pop culture so they’ve tossed their tiaras and have come to life to set the record straight. Forget the princesses you think you know – these royal renegades are here to comically belt out the truth. A deliciously naughty night out that will never let you look at your favorite princesses the same way again. Contains adult language and content, Rated NC-17.

All roles are open. Improvisational skills are an added plus. All body types, ethnicities, age ranges and backgrounds are encouraged to audition, this musical does NOT play to Disney stereotypes!  Inclusive and diverse casting encouraged. All roles MUST sing.  A complete breakdown of the characters can be found on the Theatre 29 website at theatre29.org/auditions. If you are unable to attend the auditions on April 8th but would still like to be considered for the show, contact the director. For more information, contact Director Charles Harvey by e-mail at theatre29programs@msn.com.

“Disenchanted” will run weekends at Theatre 29 from May 24st through June 9th with performances Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:00pm and Sunday matinees at 2:30pm.

Open roles include

(The three roles are principal players)

Snow White - Brassy and self-assured. The leader of the princess pack who likes to be in control. Also has a loving, maternal instinct. Aspires to be perfect, but she soon realizes that being perfectly ‘you’ is more important. Inclusive and diverse casting encouraged.

Cinderella - Perky, quirky, and impish. She’s always enthusiastic, especially when it comes to being a real life princess, but is about to discover that there’s more to being a princess than pretty gowns and shiny glass slippers. Inclusive and diverse casting encouraged.

Sleeping Beauty - The perfect comic foil to Snow White. Always the flippant and unpredictable cut-up. She loves to dance (sometimes uncontrollably) and is a fantastic physical comedienne. She enjoys being perfectly and uniquely herself. Inclusive and diverse casting encouraged.

(These roles are supporting players)

Belle - A smart and witty bookworm from classic French lit who inexplicably speaks and sings with an American accent. She chats with inanimate objects, cleans up after her beast of a husband … and it’s slowly driving her insane. Inclusive and diverse casting encouraged.

Hua Mulan - A legendary folk hero of Asian descent from the poem The Ballad of Mulan. She has a good-natured sense of humor while maintaining a respect for her culture. She is excited to come out onstage and, through her heartfelt story, reveal her true self.

The Little Mermaid - Once innocent and obedient, she’s now rowdy and rebellious. Having regretfully given up her seemingly idyllic life under the sea, she copes with her new reality through inappropriate yet hilarious comedy. She is the life of the party! Inclusive and diverse casting encouraged.

Pocahontas - Plucky, valiant. She has been homogenized by an entertainment industry willing to distort her true Native-American story just to sell cinema tickets. As she comically mocks her glammed-up portrayal in Hollywood cartoons, she is on a journey to restore her authentic, historical self.

The Princess Who Kissed The Frog – African-American Actress, Having been left out of the kingdom for decades, this Black princess is here to claim her throne and celebrate inclusivity and diversity in fairy tales. Confident; clever with a turn of phrase, loves a funny pop culture reference. Wonderfully witty; joyous.

Rapunzel - American capitalism won’t turn this campy, Mel Brooksian songstress into a damsel in distress. Nein! Brunehildesque, strong, and fun-loving, she’s bent on getting her fair share from those who make bank off fairy tale princesses.

Princess Badroulbadour - Originally from the South-Asian-turned-Middle-Eastern Aladdin sagas, this sultan’s daughter has had enough of being secondary in her own tale. Misogyny begone! It’s a whole new world and this independent and puckish princess is taking her story back!
