CHICAGO - The Musical - Auditions

Williamstown Musical Theatre Company Inc is proud to announce auditions for their November 2011 production of CHICAGO – The Musical, which will be performed at the Williamstown Mechanics Institute from Friday 4th November to Saturday 19th November 2011.

We are searching for a very talented and skilled cast of men and women, roughly 20 in total, who are interested in ‘creating’ theatre and working and collaborating together with our experienced and skilled production team, to make an original production, with original thinking and ideas in mind.

This will be a highly collaborative experience with all cast on-stage for nearly 100% of the entire performance. Rehearsal attendance will be vital. We will not be looking at casting any auditionees, regardless of talent, who cannot make themselves available as required.

Premiering in 1975 and the hit of the 1997 Broadway season in a production that originated at City Center's Encore! series, Chicago won six Tony Awards including Best Revival and later the Academy Award as Best Picture of the Year.

In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap, until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another ‘Merry Murderess’ Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the ‘American Dream’ - fame, fortune and acquittal. This sharp edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.
