Description and Submission Instructions

Disney's Moana JR.

Directed by Treva Offutt. Music Directed by Stacy Bolton. Stage Managed by Clark Metelsky.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Join Moana as she leaves the safety of Motunui and ventures beyond the reef on a daring mission to save her island. Along the way she meets the mighty (and occasionally annoying) Maui, encounters unforgettable characters, and discovers that the greatest adventure may be finding the courage to become exactly who you were meant to be.

WHO CAN AUDITION

All youth in grades 1–12. All roles are available. HYT is committed to non-traditional casting; actors will be cast solely based on talent, except where age, race, or physical ability is essential to a role.

CALLBACKS

Friday, October 30, 6:00–9:00pm, by invitation only, in Kulas Auditorium. Not being called back does not mean you are not cast.

WHAT TO PREPARE

Grades 1–5: Learn the lyrics from "We Know The Way" (1:17–1:35 in the reference recording linked on the HYT site). They'll help you practice a little before you sing alone. Show lots of personality!

Grades 6–12: One selection in the style of the show, up to a minute in length (one verse and one chorus). Accompanist provided (no a cappella singing). Bring complete sheet music in a book or binder with the excerpt clearly marked. Loose pages should never be presented to the pianist.

Everyone: Bring a headshot or photo (resume optional) and list all conflicts on the audition form.

WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR
  • ·Listening skills and receptivity to feedback
  • ·Positive behavior
  • ·Ability to sing consistently on pitch and with expression
  • ·A solid sense of beat and rhythm
  • ·Overall preparation (knowledge of song and self-presentation)
