Auditions Announced for WILLY WONKA JR! at Voices of Broadway

VOB_logoVoices of Broadway is excited to announce auditions for their summer 2021 musical, Willy Wonka Jr.!  Please note: this VOB production is open to all ages (per COVID-adjusted licensing agreement with MTI), but emphasis will be on a youth-centered cast. Cast will be selected – not all that audition will be invited to participate.

Voices of Broadway is an educational program, offering a fully-staged theatrical experience, with instruction for both what goes on onstage and backstage. There is a $100 fee to participate. Cast members will receive a show t-shirt (included in the fee). Limited tuition assistance and scholarships are available. $25 minimum deposit as a script fee upon acceptance of role. Cast members keep their script book for this show.

Auditions and rehearsals will be at Firmly Rooted Ministries, 495 Ludlow St, Greendale, IN 47025 and Community Fellowship Church, 505 Bielby Rd, Lawrenceburg, IN.

APRIL 10: 10:30-2 PM Auditions (CHANGE!) AT FIRMLY ROOTED MINISTRIES

APRIL 13: 6-8 PM Auditions AT COMMUNITY FELLOWSHIP CHURCH

For questions, contact info@voicesofindiana.org

Slots are to help with managing the audition times, but be prepared to wait as needed. Walk-ins will be seen as time allows.

To reserve a slot, visit https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0944adaa29aafb6-willy.

For your audition, please prepare 16-32 bars of a song that is NOT from the show. Bring your sheet music for the accompanist, as a cappella singing is discouraged. (No pre-recorded tracks, either.) An accompanist will be available.

Auditionees will be asked to read from the script. No dance audition required. No call backs.

Bring a resume, if you have one, and a list of known conflicts from May 17 through July 17.

Production dates are July 8-10.

Show synopsis:

The delicious adventures of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory light up the stage in this captivating adaptation of Roald Dahl’s fantastical tale. Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film, in addition to a host of fun new songs, Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR. is a scrumdidilyumptious musical guaranteed to delight everyone’s sweet tooth. Now in the updated Binder format!

Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR. follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka’s rules in the factory — or suffer the consequences.

Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR. has a flexible cast size with many featured and ensemble roles, including the singing and dancing Oompa Loompas.

The Dayton Theatre Guild at the Caryl D. Philip TheatreScape
430 Wayne Ave, Dayton OH, 45410
937-278-5993 — www.daytontheatreguild.org

Directed by K.L.Storer

Sharon, in her mid-fifties, is recently divorced and needs a roommate to share her Iowa home. Robyn, also in her mid-fifties, needs a place to hide and a chance to start over. But as Sharon begins to uncover Robyn’s secrets, they encourage her own deep-seated desire to transform her life completely. A dark comedy about what it takes to re-route your life — and what happens when the wheels come off.

Casting Requirements:

  • Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
  • A résumé and headshot are not required but are appreciated.
  • Please provide a list of all known conflicts.

Character breakdowns:

  • Sharon — 54 year-old woman (race/ethnicity open)
    Sharon is not naive but she has lived a stereotypical, normal, Midwestern, middle-class life with little sense of adventure. She’s still a little wounded and disillusioned by her recent divorce. Her craving for adventure is awoken by the introduction of Robyn into her life.
  • Robyn — 56 year-old woman (race/ethnicity open)
    Robyn is a more worldly woman with a darker past who is trying to turn over a new leaf. She has a tinge of cynicism coming from hard knocks.

*(actors need to be able to play these ages rather than actually *be* these ages)

Rehearsal are on the following overall schedule of Apr 19-May 26*
(usually Mon-Thu)
Sat, May 29 will be the Tech rehearsal
Performance will be shot June 1-4 (Tue-Fri)
