Auditions Announced for BLUES IN THE NIGHT at Middletown Lyric Theatre

MLT_logoAUDITION TIMES
Sunday November 12 2pm – 4pm
Tuesday November 14 7pm – 8:30pm

  • Accompanist will be provided.
  • No Acapella singing or singing from a CD. MUST provide sheet music.

This Tony-nominated musical delivers 26 hot and torchy numbers. With little spoken text, the interweaving stories are defined through glorious songs that cover the range of this indigenous American art form, from Bessie Smith to Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Alberta Hunter, Jimmy Cox, Ida Cox and more, telling of the pain and misery of life and love… and also of the dogged determination to get through it all… that is the essence of the blues

    Vocal range top: Ab5
