Summary

Blending seven original songs with traditional Christmas carols, this show is full of holiday spirit! All your favorite fairytale characters take on new roles to retell this adaptation of A Christmas Carol that's surprisingly true to the original, yet unlike you've ever seen it before! You'll never know who will show up next when the Big Bad Wolf as Ebenezer Scrooge meets the ghost of his old business partner Jacob Midas (Marley), who could turn anything to gold. Midas warns Big Bad that he'll be visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future (played by a Fairy Godmother, Old King Cole and the Queen of Hearts respectively). The ghosts make Scrooge realize what a scoundrel he's been to the Charming (or Crachit) family - including Prince Philip, Cinderella and their kids, Hansel, Gretel and Tabitha, their Little Match Girl - and help him remember what the Christmas spirit is all about.

Audition Information

Just FYI It took me awhile to realize login-name and username are different. You should clarify that because I kept trying to register and login and I couldn't figure out what I did wrong, so I finally just used the same name for both. I think its confusing to have two separate ones personally.

The Houston Grand Opera Association announces dancer and dancer/singer auditions for its 2015-16 production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel. The production is choreographed and directed by Tony and Emmy award winner Rob Ashford. Auditions will be held at the Wortham Theater Center, 510 Preston on:

Sunday, October 11th
Monday, October 12th (callbacks)

The Houston Grand Opera Dancers are a professional group of diverse backgrounds. Ensemble members rehearse weekday evenings and weekends.

This audition will have both Dance and Vocal components to it. Auditionees are encouraged but not required to take part in both components.

For the Vocal component please prepare one song from the classical, "Golden Age" musical theater repertoire (ie. Kern, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lerner & Loewe; Gilbert and Sullivan and contemporary musical theater are also acceptable, but must be "legit" in nature). Do not bring belt songs. The selection must be in English and must be memorized. HGO will provide an accompanist, but singers are required to bring their own music in the key they wish to sing. CD accompaniment and a cappella singing is not permitted.

You may be asked to read some dialogue (provided at the audition), since there will be several roles cast from the ensemble.

The Dance component of the audition seeks technically trained dancers with great technique and partnering abilities. Ladies please bring flats and heels.


Rehearsals begin: March 2016

Performance dates: April 22, 24 (matinee), 27, 29, 30, 2015 and May 4 (tentative) 6, 7, 2016
