SEEKING
The movement in BLISS ranges from classic Broadway/Showgirl to contemporary “boy band”. Dancers should also have a strong comic sensibility.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE DANCERS: Characters are 20’s; all ethnicities. Will play the “perfect princesses”-young women who have been magically transformed into caricature storybook princesses. They will ultimately turn back into their wildly imperfect, authentic selves. Must be VERY STRONG legit singers and belters. Good actors/comediennes; some will understudy principal roles. Women should bring heels. All female identifying performers encouraged.
PREPARATION
Please be warmed up and ready to dance when your call begins. Bring headshots and resumes stapled together.

OTHER
Bliss is an original pop/rock musical fantasy that flips the traditional princess narrative upside down. Hidden away for years by an overprotective father, four wildly distinctive and lovably awkward princesses dream of the world beyond the castle walls. At last they escape and they find adventures beyond their wildest imaginations—and a world that judges them based on appearance. Now they must each decide what is worth sacrificing for a happily ever after.
