ABOUT THE SHOW
Powered by the chart-topping hits of the undisputed Princess of Pop, Once Upon A One More Time turns our favorite fairytales upside down with a clever twist! When a fairy godmother goes rogue and plops copies of The Feminine Mystique in the laps of classic heroines, the damsels embark on a quest to rewrite their stories and redefine “happily ever after.”
Once Upon A One More Time weaves 23 of Britney Spears’ smash singles—like “Crazy,” “Oops!…I Did It Again,” “Circus,” “Lucky,” and “Toxic”—into “a big, modern, musical dance party, with Britney’s beating heart at its core.” (ABC News)
AUDITIONS
Auditions for this production will take place Sun, 8/23 and Mon, 8/24 from 6-9pm. Invitational callbacks for the show will be by invitation on Wed 8/26 from 6-9. Video submissions are accepted; please review the requirements below and email to / share with [email protected].
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 (~60 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 pop/rock musicals like Legally Blonde, Hairspray, Six, Grease, Footloose, Bye Bye Birdie, Curtains, 9 to 5, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, or The Wedding Singer. Selections from the show are also encouraged. If you are auditioning for a lead who belts, we need to hear you belt! Avoid musicals from very different genres (“Les Mis”, 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 $190 tuition to participate in this MainStage production. If the tuition would create a hardship for your family, please apply for a scholarship.
NOTE: If auditions are full, you may arrive and wait to be seen (we recommend arriving as close to 6:00 as possible), or you can submit a clear video of you performing your audition song to [email protected].
