Les Mis is Returning to the Toronto Stage

GTA boys and girls welcome to audition THIS SUNDAY

Riding on the heels of the uber-super-duper successful film adaptation of the stage play, Les Miserables is set to return to the Toronto stage this fall as part of the 2013-2014 Mirvish theatre season and they're looking for actors to play Gavroche and Young Cosette. For those of you familiar with the musical, you know these are both some powerhouse vocal performances and integral to the show...so, if you know of a boy or a girl with serious chops, this weekend is your chance!

Auditions are taking place at 958 Broadview Ave in Toronto (Estonian House) and begin at 930am sharp. Auditions will be held until every child is seen that day, as long as they are registered by 930am. First time auditioners — this could mean arriving at 8am and sitting around until 8pm. Be forewarned. 

Here are the rest of the details:

Boys — 7-11 years of age, no taller than 4'7", and come prepared with a fiesty musical number or "Little People" from the show (16 bars of either song).

Girls — 7-11 years of age, no taller than 4'5" and come prepared with a powerful ballad or "Castle on a Cloud" from the show (16 bars of either song). 

All kids should bring ther own snapshot or headshot, resume if applicable and sheet music to the audition. For those who can't attend, please send snaps and resumes to:

For those of you new to theatre or auditions with your kids, I highly recommend you read my interview with Cynthia Dale. Even if you aren't new, and looking for some excellent tips to prepare you for Sunday, April 14, this is a great primer post. 

 

Good luck!
