All roles are open to audition. We are seeking an ensemble cast of adults and children (aged 9-14) for this production. Auditioners must bring sheet music with them and be prepared to sing 32 bars, but no more than one minute, of a fully memorized Broadway-style musical selection (preferably one that is in the style of
GYPSY, but not from the show itself) that showcases their vocal range. An accompanist will be provided. Auditioners should mark their selection with a highlighter. A cappella singing, instrumentals on CD, Tape, iPod, MP3 Player or digital recorder will not be allowed. Auditioners will also be asked to read from the script and perform a brief dance combination that will be taught at the audition.
Rehearsals will be held on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning on Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Not all cast members will be called for every rehearsal and the schedule is subject to change with advance notification. There will be one midweek rehearsal on Thursday, May 17th. If you are unable to make all the performances and the midweek rehearsal, we will be unable to cast you in this production.

ABOUT THE SHOW
GYPSY is the ultimate story about an aggressive stage mother. Join Rose, June and Louise in their trip across the United States during the 1920's, when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born. Jule Styne's music and Stephen Sondheim's lyrics include Let Me Entertain You, Some People, You'll Never Get Away from Me, If Momma Was Married, All I Need Is the Girl, Everything's Coming Up Roses, You Gotta Get A Gimmick and Together Wherever We Go. This is a gripping story of one of the most frightening aspects of show business.
