The School Musical 2023/24 - Aladdin Jr.
Musical 2023/24 - Aladdin Jr.West Point Jr. High will be performing "Aladdin Jr.". Audition Details: [hide]Audition Information for Aladdin Jr. *** IMPORTANT ***If a student is on quarantine during the audition period, they should e-mail Mrs.Hayward lhayward@dsdmail.net and request a zoom audition instead of in person. This is a very awkward way of auditioning, to be used for Emergency Purposes Only. The School Musical is a HUGE time commitment. Please do not audition if you are unwilling or unable to make the time commitment necessary. Regular cast members should plan on 3-4 nights per week (2 hours each & 3 hours Friday dance) and Leads can plan on 4-5 nights per week (2 hours each & 3 hours Friday dance). The final three weeks of the show will require everyone to be there 3-5 hours per night, show nights 5 hours a night. The rehearsal schedule is attached so you can make the necessary plans. Students who do not attend rehearsals may not participate in the show. Please list any possible conflicts on your audition form (vacations, appointments, lessons, etc.). It is imperative that you review the rehearsal schedule prior to auditioning and make sure your schedule will work well with the musical’s timetable. There is an activity fee of $40.00 to participate. This will be due at the first rehearsal. Additional costs may be incurred (makeup, personal costume pieces like tights and shoes, etc.) This is similar to being on a sports team and paying the activity fee, then buying cleats. The audition is a two day process for ALL students, three days if a student is called back to read for a specific role. Students should bring their signed permission slip and volunteer form to their first audition. There is kissing in this show. Characters Aladdin, and Jasmine will kiss. If you are unwilling or unable to kiss another character, DO NOT audition for these roles. There are plenty of roles that do not kiss in this show.
Day 1 (Required Singing/Acting Audition: Monday August 21st or Tuesday August 22nd by sign
up time).
Students should come prepared to sing the song clip with the background accompaniment. Please come with the song you have selected memorized. After singing, students will do a quick "cold read" on one of the roles from the show.
Day 2 (Required Dance Audition, Wednesday, August 25th 3:00 - 5:30 pm on stage) Plan on staying until your pass-off is complete (anywhere from 5-5:30 pm, depending on how fast students learn the dance).
Day 3 (Callbacks - as posted 5 pm on Thursday, August 24th on Mrs. Hayward's website) The Cast List will be posted by 9:00 am on Saturday, August 26th on Mrs. Hayward's website. If you were not invited to callbacks, please check the cast list to see if you are cast in the show. We do need everyone who is cast in the show to be dedicated. Please indicate on your audition form if you are unwilling to accept a part in the general cast if you are not cast as a lead. Music Example and Audition Tracks: [hide]Here are the practice and audition tracks that you will need. Please practice the song both with and without the singer, but know that you will audition with the music only (the one WITHOUT the singer). Don't try to sound like the person singing on the clip. We want to hear YOUR voice and know YOUR talent. These are in MP3 format, so you will need to have an MP3 player installed on your computer to listen. Click the icon to hear the song right now, or right-click and choose "Save As..." to save the song to your computer.
