Circa is seeking online video submissions for a Disney spoof musical, “Disenchanted,” to be performed this fall.
Corinne Johnson and longtime Quad-City teacher, choral conductor, musical director and founder of Opera Quad Cities, Ron May.
“We are casting four non-union women of all ages, shapes, sizes, and ethnicities,” Cory Johnson said in a Circa release. “They must have excellent comic timing, physical comedy & improvisation skills, and a strong comedic singing voice.”
The characters in this award-winning all-female musical are based on the original fairy tales of Grimm, Perrault, de Villeneuve, as well as historic accounts and legend. Add in a healthy dose of the modern-day, strong, independent woman and you have “Disenchanted.”
“I encourage all women to audition. You don’t have to look like a Disney Princess to be a Disenchanted Princess,” Johnson said.
Character breakdown and information on open roles can be found at circa21.com/auditions. Those interested in being considered should submit a broad comic up-tempo song, a brief monologue, and a dance reel.
All roles in this professional production are paid. Questions and submissions should be sent to producer Denny Hitchcock at dpjh@circa21.com.
