SHOWDATES: JUNE 7-July 21 - ONE JUNE CAST; ONE JULY CAST visit website for character descriptions:
Children:
All children auditioning for the role of Matilda or any of the featured children should arrive at 2pm on Sunday, March 10th. Children will first learn a short dance combination as a large group and will then be split into smaller groups. It is best to wear dance shoes or sneakers and clothes that allow movement but are not super loose (think leggings, dance shorts, tighter shirts, etc.) PLEASE BE PREPARED TO STAY UP TO TWO HOURS.
After the dance call, children will sing a prepared song individually. They will be seen in the order they checked-in in before the dance call. Songs should not be longer than one minute and must have sheet music. Bring sheet music in the proper key. An accompanist will be provided. Singing from the show is acceptable but not at all necessary.
Callbacks will be March 13th 6-10pm by invitation only. There will be 2 girls sharing the role of Matilda. Then, there will be 8 other featured children in each cast- 16 featured children total! 18 children total in the cast. There will not be any additional children cast or any sort of children’s ensemble.
Matilda is a very demanding show for these 18 kids, so we are looking for very special children who bring many skills to the table and can work like young professionals, however it is also about having fun because, after all, you are still kids! We want you to succeed and to have a great audition and we’ll try to make it as fun as possible! We are looking for kids with big personalities who can just be kids onstage! If you are not the best dancer, show us that you can at least try! If you are a dancer who hasn’t done a lot of singing, show us you’re willing to practice! There is no harm in trying and it will make you better for your next audition- and you may surprise yourself!
Rehearsals for Matilda will likely be from 6pm-9pm three nights per week and Sundays from 12pm-5pm. Children will not be needed at all rehearsals, but certainly most of them.
If you have any questions that are not answered here please feel free to email rhinomatilda@gmail.com! Please note: Parents are required to remain at the audition location, but are not permitted to be inside the actual room during your child’s audition. IF CAST, THERE IS A PARTICIPATION FEE OF $75 FOR THIS SHOW. PLEASE BRING HEADSHOT AND RESUME TO AUDITION.
