More than you really want to know about Wellesley, Mass.
The Glamour Girls had kids doing cartwheels and adults bopping along to a slew of pop tunes this past Wednesday night at the Wellesley Town Green. The Reminisants wrap up the summer concert series next Wednesday night.
Auditions are coming up for Wellesley High School’s upcoming musical, Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. On Monday, August 28, 3pm – 6pm there will be a audition workshop in the Little Theater, Room 165.
Wednesday, August 30 – 3pm to 6pm
Thursday, August 31 – 3pm to 6 pm
Friday, September 1 – 3pm to 6pm
Here are a few words of advice on what to expect at the auditions.
First, be prepared, know the show really well, listen to the original Broadway cast over the summer; the movie is different from the Broadway show.
Second, prepare 16-32 measures of song (about the length of of a verse and chorus), pick a song that shows off your voice.
Third, don’t wait until the last minute to prepare, work on your song early so you feel confident about your audition.
You must sign up for both a dance and musical audition.
Please email [email protected] with questions over the summer.
