Audition Information for James and the Giant Peach Jr.
SYNOPSIS:
Based on one of Roald Dahl’s most poignantly quirky stories, Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach Jr. is a brand new take on this "masterpeach" of a tale. Featuring a wickedly tuneful score and a witty and charming book, this adventurous musical about courage and self-discovery is destined to be a classic.
When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that grows a tremendous peach, rolls into the ocean and launches a journey of enormous proportions. James befriends a collection of singing insects that ride the giant piece of fruit across the ocean, facing hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements along the way.
PREPARATION:
All auditionees will be asked to perform a 16-32 bar cut (45-60 seconds) of a song from the show. I have attached the title of the song that is to be prepared for each character beside the character description below. Please sign your name on the callboard, and pick up an audition packet that coincides with the number beside your name. You may also retrieve sheet music for the role that you will be auditioning for from Mr. Alex in the blackbox studio theatre (room 703).
AUDITIONS:
On Tuesday, September 2nd OR Wednesday, September 3rd, you will be expected to perform the selection for the audition panel and provide your completed audition form. Be prepared to stay for the entire audition block, and we will all dismiss at the front of the school following auditions ending at 5PM.
CALLBACKS:
Callbacks will be posted on the callboard on Thursday, September 5th. Callbacks will consist of cold reads from the show, and you may be asked to prepare another song(s) depending on the role you are called back for. If you do not receive a callback, this does not mean you are not cast. You may be called back for a character that you did not audition for. If you do not receive a callback, this does not mean that you are not cast.
CAST BREAKDOWN
*All roles are open to any gender with the exception of LADAHLORD, SPIKER, and SPONGE*
Ladahlord (m.) - Ladahlord is a mysterious character who seems to have a hand in the magical things that are happening. Though he may seem a bit offbeat, he carefully watches over James, making sure James moves towards a better life. Ladahlord also serves as a guiding narrator throughout the story. (Right Before Your Eyes)
James (m.) - James is the hero of our story, on an epic quest to find a family of his own and gain confidence in himself. (On Your Way Home)
Ladybug (f.) - Ladybug immediately takes on a doting, maternal role in James' life. (Everywhere That You Are)
Grasshopper (m.) - Grasshopper, the leader of the Insects, is the optimist and assumes a paternal role in James' life. (Floatin’ Along)
Spider (f.) - Spider is a clever creature who becomes a fun-loving older sister to James. (Plump and Juicy)
Earthworm (m.) - Earthworm is a gentle spirit, although he can be a bit of a coward. Luckily, he gains enough courage to save the day by baiting some gullible seagulls. Earthworm looks at James as a brother figure. (Plump and Juicy)
Centipede (m.) - Centipede may be a bit of a grouch, but he is ever-loyal to the pack, and by the end of the story, he’s won over by James. James sees Centipede as that cranky uncle with a heart of gold. (Floatin’ Along)
Spiker and Sponge (f.) - Spiker and Sponge are the sort of aunts (or monsters) that you fear ever being stuck with. They take James into their home but only so that he can be their own personal servant. Spiker is the brains of the operation, and Sponge is more concerned with finding something to eat. (I Got You)
Ensemble (8-12 roles available) - Various roles like reporters, agents, townspeople, Oompa-Loompas, and farm animals. There are various featured ensemble roles, such as Mr. and Mrs. Trotter. All of the ensemble will be storytellers that are VERY active in this story. (Shake It Up)
