Auditions for "Shrek the Musical, Jr." in Ashland


    2018 is really shaping up to be the Year of Shrek!

   In all fairness, the Paramount Players was (I believe) the first to announce their plans to tackle the musical based on the animated film - and their production will take the stage on May 3, the same day that Huntington's First Stage Theatre will present its first school performances (with four public shows to follow that weekend), and then HART in the Park will present the musical this summer in Huntington's Ritter Park!

   Auditions for the Paramount's show will be held on Monday, March 26 starting at 6 p.m.

   It's open to anyone between the ages of 6 to 18. You should arrive prepared to sing a song from the show and read from a page of script (which will be provided). You will be taught a short dance combination.

   If you are auditioning for a specific part, you should be ready to sing a specific song. For: Lord Farquaad - What's Up Dulac Part 2; Shrek - Big Bright Beautiful World, Dragon - Forever, Young and Teen Fiona - I Know It's Today, Fiona - I Know It's Today and Morning Person, Donkey - Travel Song, and Pinocchio - Story of My Life.

   All others auditioning should be ready to sing Freak Flag or I'm a Believer.

   Sheet music is available at the box office at the Paramount Arts Center.
