BREAKDOWN
AN ORIGINAL MUSICAL. A retro retelling of “Cinderella” set in 1975. The story centers around Cindy and her fabulous step-sister Leanora. In an effort to save the school’s art department, the student body of Palisades High hosts a Disco Ball. Fashion and fairytale collide in this musical for the whole family. Running time is 80 minutes plus intermission. Minimum of 100 hours rehearsal over 4-week rehearsal/tech period.

SEEKING:
CINDY: Any ethnicity, female (18+ to play high schooler) A bright heroine who finds her confidence in a sea of high school drama. She is charming, spunky, mouthy and funny. She is destined for greatness, and she is on her way to find that out. Pop-belt vocal.
LEANORA: Latina, female (18+ to play high schooler) She is fabulous in every sense of the word. She is sharp-tongued in a “Mean Girls” sort of way. Popular, pretty, predictable. She’s a flirt with the boys and enjoys being a villain. Pop vocal.
TOMMY: Any ethnicity, male (18+ to play high schooler) A scholar with charm and ambition. He is thoughtful, kind and the school’s dreamy teen idol who is totally oblivious to his appeal. Tenor.
BUDDY: Any ethnicity, male (18+ to play high schooler) A physically fit high school track star. His focus is not studying, but rather racing to the top of the leader board, getting into the varsity team, and ultimately being in the Olympics. Great dancer. Tap dance (basic) required – nothing complicated. Baritone/Tenor.
SOUL SISTER: Black female (35-50) A disco diva Fairy Godmother. A woman who knows about life. She is bold and strong and has a heart of gold. She has larger than life superstar presence! She is Beyoncé and Octavia Spencer. Pop vocal with a strong mix

Everyone entering the audition venue (i.e., venue employees, Equity members, non-members, casting personnel, creatives, producers, musicians, COVID Safety Managers, etc.) will be required to undergo a symptom check and provide one of the following prior to entry into the venue:
o Proof of full vaccination. “Fully vaccinated,” as defined by the CDC, is more than 14 calendar days following receipt of a final dose of an FDA or World Health Organization authorized or approved vaccine.
(OR)
o Proof of a negative PCR test result taken no earlier than 48 hours prior to entry into the audition venue.

Two-ply cloth face masks, surgical masks, singer’s masks and respirators (N95, KN95 or KF94) will be allowed for face coverings.

Singer’s masks can be found at www.broadwayreliefproject.com/singersmask. |
If the risk level for Burbank is trending upwards and may rise to High (Red) we will contact members with appointments at least 24 hours before the first audition appointment time to let them know there is a chance that the auditions may need to be postponed or cancelled. All members with appointments will be notified if the auditions must be postponed or cancelled.
We encourage members to prepare for their audition at home, to the extent that they can (e.g., get dressed, hair/make-up, etc.) to avoid crowding in bathrooms and dressing rooms. Additional information required in notice:
Holding/Audition room information:
The audition room can accommodate no more than 200 individuals at a time.
