Seeking a cast of terrific legit singers/actors. While there will be some movement in the production, the vocals and the acting are the priority in casting the show. Seeking experienced, trained, and extremely strong vocalists who are very good actors and storytellers. Nearly every ensemble track will understudy one of the principal roles (as described in breakdown). Please do not submit for an ensemble track unless you are comfortable with the specific understudy assignment and vocal demands described in the breakdown. Seeking a diverse company of actors who are ready to dig into this magical story. Some actors will be required to perform barefoot at times, please only submit if you are comfortable with being barefoot.
