Child Auditions for Broadway Series South's "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and "Wizard of Oz" Scheduled for Feb. 26 and April 4

Do you have a rising Broadway star in your family? Broadway Series South will hold auditions for "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" for children 4’10 and under TOMORROW, Feb. 26 at 4-7 p.m. in A.J. Fletcher Opera Theater.

From the Broadway Series South website:

Each child will be asked to sing acappella 16 bars from one up-tempo song of choice. Children should be prepared to learn and execute simple choreography as part of the audition process. No decisions will be announced at any time during the auditions.

Six children will be selected for the ensemble, and they will appear as orphans in Act 2 of every performance. Two alternates will also be chosen. Approximate ages should be between 8 and 12 years old – and have the appearance of children, NOT young adults. Professional experience and headshots are not required.

The local children cast in the production and their parents or guardians will be provided rehearsal and performance information. The children will not receive any compensation, however this is a wonderful opportunity for children from RDU area to perform onstage with professional actors without having to ever leave town.

Auditions for "Wizard of Oz" will be held April 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Kennedy Theater.

From the above link:

The company is choosing 12 children ONLY - no alternates. They all must be 8-13 years of age. Due to wardrobe limitations they cannot exceed 5’ or 100lbs. No Exceptions.
