About Miscast Cabaret
Have you ever wanted to play the role of Annie, but you never could because you’re a middle aged man? Do you have dreams of belting out Jack Kelly’s songs in Newsies, but you’re a lyric soprano and would never get the part? Here is your chance! We’re assembling two casts of performers, Adults 18+ and Youth under 18, to live out their dreams of performing a song from a role in which they would not normally be cast. ​
Audition Dates
​​​Initial auditions will take place in person via time slots (register above) on Dec 4, 2024.
If you absolutely cannot make an in-person time slot on either evening (which is much preferred), video submissions will be accepted, emailed to LMcComas@saltpa.com by Dec 3. Please put "Miscast Cabaret Audition" in the subject of the email.
Performance Dates
The MISCAST CABARET will take place over two weekends in January. YOUTH (under 18) will perform at 7pm on January 10 & 11, 2025 and ADULTS (18+) will perform at 7pm on January 17 & 18, 2025. All performances will take place at SALT's West Chester location (19 Hagerty Blvd, West Chester, PA 19382).
Rehearsals
Each cast will have one tech/dress rehearsal at SALT’s West Chester location.
January 7, 2025 - Youth cast tech/dress
January 9, 2025 - Adult cast tech/dress
Please note that any conflicts with the tech rehearsal or performances will not be accepted.
If cast, performers are expected to provide a backing track for their song(s) within two weeks of the tech rehearsal.
Audition Format
For the audition, please be prepared to sing up to 32 measures of any TWO songs that would be considered a "miscast” with our live accompanist during your scheduled time slot. Your music should have cuts clearly marked and in a binder for our accompanist.
Furthermore, please provide a list of 3-5 additional songs you would be happy to perform at the cabaret. We will assume the two songs you choose to sing at the audition to be your preference, and we will take that into consideration, but we’d love to have other options so that we can be sure to craft a diverse and interesting program.
If you would like to perform a duet or group number, please plan to present that as one of your two song selections. Everyone that would be performing with you should be present for this audition.
Compensation
