*Auditions for: Pippin *
*Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and *
*Book by Roger O. Hirson*

Presented by Colonial LIttle Theatre
Directed by Gary Castler
Musical Direction by Mark Hitrick

*FIRST NOTICE*

*Production Dates are July 27-29 and August 3-5, 2007*

Those auditioning should prepare 16 bars of an upbeat show tune or pop song,
Also prepare to do cold readings from the script.


*This show will be the Opening Show of the Theater's 70th Anniversary Season
*

*SYNOPSIS:*

*Based on rhe story of Pippin, son of Charlemagne.*

*Once upon a time, the young prince Pippin longed to discover the secret of
true happiness and fulfillment. He sought it in the glories of the
battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political
power (after disposing of his father King Charlemagne the Great). In the
end, he found it in the simple pleasures of home and family. *

*This hip, tongue-in-cheek,anachronistic fairy tale captivated Broadway
audiences and continues to appeal to the young at heart everywhere (the show
has become a staple on high school and college campuses). The energetic
pop-influenced score by three-time Oscar(r)-winning composer/lyricist Stephen
Schwartz ("Godspell," "Children of Eden" and the animated films
"Pocahontas," "The Hunchback Of Notre Dame" and "The Prince Of Egypt")
bursts with one showstopping number after another, from soaring ballads to
infectious dance numbers. *

*Featuring a strong ensemble cast and a show-stealing song-and-dance
narrator, "Pippin" is equally effective as an intimate, black-box production
(as envisioned by the authors) or as original director/choreographer Bob
Fosse's splashy, dance-driven spectacle, which included some of the most
brilliant staging in Broadway history. *

*This Show is Rated PG*
