Cincinnati Music Theatre is proud to announce auditions for SHOUT! THE MOD MUSICAL.
With its irresistible blend of hip-swiveling hits, eye-popping fashions and outrageous dance moves, SHOUT! The Mod Musical takes audiences back to the music, style and freedom of the 1960s. SHOUT! has terrific new arrangements of such classic tunes as “To Sir with Love,” “Downtown,” “Son of a Preacher Man” and “Goldfinger”. The revue follows five groovy gals as they come of age during those glorious days that made England swing. Traveling in time from 1960 to 1970, SHOUT! chronicles the dawning liberation of women, from the rise of Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark and Cilla Black as independent women with major careers, to their American counterparts, redefining themselves in the face of changing attitudes about gender.
Auditions are by appointment on Sunday, July 11th from 3-6pm & Monday, July 12th from 7-10pm.
Callbacks will be held on Wednesday, July 14th from 7-9pm.
At Clifton United Methodist Church, 3416 Clifton Ave, Cincinnati OH 45220
Each day’s music and dance auditions will be conducted in groups on the hour. It is important that you arrive 15 minutes prior to the audition time and be prepared to stay for the entire 60 minutes. An accompanist will be provided (no CD’s, tapes or a cappella numbers). The dance audition will be movements reminiscent of the 60s.

Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens

At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing… and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America.
Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
