Horizon Youth Theatre presents:

The Big Bad Musical Directed by Mikayla Trimpey

SUMMARY: A courtroom has never been more lively and fun than in The Big Bad Musical! This smart and wickedly funny musical is great for actors and audiences of any age. The jury — your audience — must decide the outcome of the biggest trial ever in the fairy-tale world! The notorious Big Bad Wolf is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by storybooks of quirky characters who want to get even: Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs, and the Shepherd in charge of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. With Sydney Grimm as the commentator on live Court TV, the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest — the Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother — clash in a trial that will be remembered forever after. As our wronged fairy tale characters testify, the wolf seems deserving of all that’s coming. Yet, even though the infamous Evil Stepmother resents doing pro-bono work on such an obviously futile defense, Mr. Wolf makes a good case for himself. Was he born a criminal, or made one? This musical has it all — audience participation, minimal set and costume requirements, a good balance of stage time for each character, multiple endings to make every performance unique, and Bill Francoeur’s toe-tapping tunes!

AGES CALLED: Auditions are open to all kids ages 8 to 14 and will take place September 11 & 12 from 5:30-7:30 in the Star-Style Theater in the Woodland Mall, Bowling Green. (This used to be the movie theater but is now owned by Julie’s Dance Studio. She rents the space to HYT)

HOW TO AUDITION: Print out and complete the audition packet which can be found on the website horizonyouththeatre.org

Bring it to your audition. Packets will also be available at auditions for those without access to a printer. Auditioners will sign up for a 1-hour time slot on either of the audition dates (you only need to sign up for one day). Please dress comfortably. Auditions will consist of: - a dance cut prepared by our choreographer - 1-minute (or 16-32 bars) cut of a song of your choosing - cold reads which can be found in your audition packet

If you would like to audition for this show but cannot make either of the initial audition dates, please reach out to Mikayla Trimpey to arrange an alternate audition time or format. You can reach her at director@horizonyouththeatre.org
