Breakdown

We are currently seeking an immediate female replacement for the Broadway company. Must be 5’5 or under and be experienced on pointe.

All female dancers must be 5’5” or under, have a degree of innocence about them and look very young (18-25). We need experienced, classically trained dancers. Most of the audition will be on POINTE. Please have pointe shoes and flat ballet shoes with you.

All male dancers must be 6’0” or taller and must be classical/ballet dancers. They should have solid classical technique with a musical theatre flair. They must be well built and muscular.

All dancers, please be dressed, warmed up and ready to dance at the hour the audition begins. If asked to stay and sing, choose music from the musical theatre repertoire that best shows off your voice and range. Bring sheet music in your key. An accompanist will be provided. There is no solo singing for the dancers (except ‘Meg’), but they will have to carry some vocal responsibility in the ensemble numbers.

In addition, there is the principal role of ‘Meg’ who is a member of the Corps de Ballet. She should appear to be between 16 and 18 years old. The range is mezzo-soprano to G. We will also be looking for girls for future replacements for this role at this dance call.

Please bring a picture and resume, stapled together. You should also bring 16 bars of a simple song if you are asked to stay and sing.

Casting for The Phantom of the Opera is interracial. Dancers of all ethnic backgrounds and races are encouraged to attend.
