Audition Notice – Anastasia

Los Altos Youth Theater is holding open auditions for ages 8-18 for Anastasia.

SYNOPSIS

From Tony winners Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty, and Lynn Ahrens, creators of such Broadway classics as Ragtime and Suessical, Anastasia transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family. Inspired by the beloved animated film and featuring the songs “Journey to the Past” and “Once Upon a December,” this show offers beautiful music, dancing, gorgeous costumes, and unforgettable characters.

AUDITIONS

Auditions will be held on Saturday, May 2, at Grant Park (1585 Holt Ave., Los Altos) from 10:00-2:00. Please sign up for one audition slot HERE.

Please fill out an audition form HERE and prepare a musical theatre song in the style of the show, along with a backing or karaoke track. We will have a speaker available.

CALLBACKS

Callbacks are specifically to cast the larger, solo-singing roles. This show is a cast-all, so if you are ages 8-18 and don’t have too many conflicts, you will automatically be in the production. However, we might want to see you again to have you read and sing from the show. Callbacks will be held on Sunday, May 3, at Grant Park from 10:00-1:00. You will be expected to attend the entire three hours. You will be notified via email on Saturday evening if you are needed, and we’ll send you the specific materials then.

REHEARSAL SCHEDULE

Please print a copy of the Rehearsal Calendar, cross off any days you cannot attend rehearsal, and bring it with you to auditions.

PARTICIPATION FEE

There is a $650 participation fee to register for this production. Limited scholarships available based on need.
