Auditions will be September 20th from 1:30-3:30 in the Media Center. Only students who are auditioning for Cast and Chorus need to attend. All tech crew interest forms will be submitted to Mrs. Englund Wailes. All Audition permission forms and interest forms must be turned in by the 19th of September. No forms will be accepted the day of auditions. We will have already grouped them into audition groups.
Here are the roles we are looking to cast. Our maximum number of students that we will accept into the Cast and Chorus this year is 40 students. Next to each role, I have placed the number of students we are looking to play that role. For the cast it will be one student each, however the chorus might have more students needed for the different groups.
Ariel (1 actor)
Ariel, the heroine of our story, is a little mermaid who longs to be human. Must have a strong singing voice and acting abilities
Prince Eric (1 actor)

Sebastian (1 actor)
Sebastian is the meticulous and anxious crab who tries to keep Ariel safe while getting to lead some of the most memorable songs in the show!
Flounder (1 actor)
Flounder is Ariel's sincere and sensitive best friend who is loyal to the end. This spunky fish also has a show-stopping solo in "She's in Love."
King Triton (1 actor)
KING TRITON rules the sea and is a force to be reckoned with. This non-singer needs to command the stage as a strong leader but also show the tenderness of a parent.
Ursula (1 actor)
Ursula is the manipulative sea witch who tries to overthrow King Triton. She is cunning and devious and will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
Flotsam (1 actor)Flotsam and Jetsam are Ursula's slippery spies. These electric eels are sinister and sneaky, so look for performers who can be underhanded and devious while still being heard on stage.

The Mersisters (Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, Allana) are Ariel's siblings and full of personality and sass. They each need to have their own personality and have small solo's in several songs. Must be willing to be overly dramatic.
Also the mersisters will double as the human princesses:

You can listen to the music in advance to prepare for Auditions. You will be asked to sing a portion of a song from the show in your audition. We will teach it to you before you have to sing but it would be helpful if you were already a little familiar with the material.
