"The
Prince Is Giving A Ball" and you are all invited! The
Kaimuki High School Performing Arts Center proudly announces our 2015
Spring Musical, "Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella
(Enchanted Edition)". Originally
presented on television in 1957 featuring Julie Andrews, our
production is an adaptation of the 1997 remake starring recording
artists Whitney Houston and Brandy. One of the most beloved
stories of all time, this production is a classic fairy tale
reborn for the stage and will be a sparkling fantasy of music,
magic, and romance. Come join us as Cinderella and her Prince
waltz into the hearts of the entire family and live happily ever
after as the "Impossible" becomes possible.
Performers
should come prepared to sing at least 16 bars of a Broadway song from
the traditional Broadway repertoire by Rogers and Hammerstein, Lerner
and Lowe, (From shows like “South Pacific,” “Oklahoma,” or
“Camelot”). If performers plan to audition for a specific role,
singing a song from “Cinderella” would be a good idea. No pop or
rap songs. Please bring sheet music written in the key you will
perform it – a pianist will be provided. No recordings will be
allowed.
Performers
should prepare a memorized monologue about one minute in length for
the acting portion of the audition. Come dressed in dance clothes and
