ABOUT THE SHOW
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a “Revenge Party” to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.

AUDITIONS
Auditions for this production will take place on Monday, Aug 19th and Tuesday, Aug 20th. Callbacks for the show will be on Thursday, Aug 22nd by invitation.
The initial audition will consist of a singing audition and acting exercise. The invitational callbacks will include dance, singing, and readings from the script. We will be casting ages 14-18.
Audition Requirements:
Please prepare a 32 bar (~30 second) cut from a song that fits the style of the show and suits your voice. This is a pop-rock musical, so consider songs from similar musicals like Rent, Legally Blonde, Six, Heathers, Aida, 9 to 5, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, School of Rock, The Wedding Singer, etc. Selections from the show are also encouraged. If you are auditioning for a lead who belts, we need to hear you belt! Avoid classic musicals from very different genres (“The Sound of Music”, for example, will not tell us how your voice will fit into this show!)
Your audition should be memorized and show your ability to portray the character’s emotions, mannerisms, etc. Dance will not be done until the invitational callback. Please bring a device to play your accompaniment track on, such as a smartphone.
Please note: There is a $175 tuition to participate in this MainStage production. If the tuition would create a hardship for your family, please apply for a scholarship.
