AUDITION FOR MAYOR SHINN

Mayor Shinn takes himself very seriously, feels very self-important, and mixes up words regularly without realizing it. He says everything with a great deal of confidence.  End at "Credentials!" NO SINGING. 

AUDITION FOR MRS. PAROO

Mrs. Paroo is Marian and Winthrop's Mother. She has a thick Irish accent and a huge personality! I can't wait to see some of you audition for this wonderful role! She has lines and a song. 

Mrs. Paroo's Song:

Sing along on the piano with Mrs. Crane:

MRS Paroo's Lines

AUDITION FOR EULALIE MACKECKNIE SHINN 

and PICK A LITTLE LADIES

Oh! This is a fun part!!  Bring your sense of humor and sass.  Confidence is a must! Say lines, then sing. 

Practice with Mrs. Crane:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMfRPKghVdU

TOMMY DJILAS AND ZANEETA SHINN AUDITION:

We are looking for "character" choices here! They both have a phrase they always say.  Tommy says, "Jeely Kly." Zaneeta says, "E-gads." They are young teens in love. Try using different voice-styles until you find one that really stands out and helps us envision you in this role. Being good at dance/movement a plus for this role.

AUDITION FOR CHARLIE COWELL

This traveling salesman HATES Harold Hill and is just a bit of a cad.  Has to smooch Marian, so don't audition for this part if you won't/can't kiss on stage. Acting skills a must. 

AUDITION FOR MARCELLUS WASHBURN

The only person who knows the truth about Harold.  He is a loyal friend and a great personality! Must be an awesome performer!

Audition Results, Round 1

Music Man Auditions Round 1

Harold Hill:      “River” cast—Marshall Parrish

“City” cast—Lance Smith

Barbershop Quartet:

Bass—Dallin Smith

Baritone—Copper Hartman

2^nd Tenor—Carter Ellis

1^st Tenor—Calvin Crane

·       Based upon their excellent auditions, the following individuals get to perform in the difficult opening number “Rock Island” as traveling salesmen. (Check it out online—it’s the epic “train” song about 2 minutes into “Rock Island.”) These boys will be used elsewhere in the show as well.  We also hope these individuals will come back and audition on Nov. 7-8 for the other male leads:

Jett Johnson, Logan Castillo, Emmett Huff, Ben Jessop, Jeremy Shipp, Tyler Bingham, Carter Rose, James Bunnell, Tanner Swapp

· ALL BOYS WHO AUDITIONED Oct. 10^th WILL BE CAST IN

 THE SHOW. Well done!

NOTE:  We had a fantastic callback for our barbershop quartet. Final decisions were based upon who could stay true to their pitch while singing with 3 other parts. After narrowing that down and having students of equal ability, we looked at Grades and Citizenship. Please remember that we can’t cast anyone with F’s and U’s, and N’s will have to have teacher approval.  Work hard to get your grades/citizenship improved. We NEED YOU in “The Music Man!”
