Bat Boy Auditions
Next up at FRT will be the theatrical experience, Bat Boy: The Musical. Patrick Spike returns to direct this campy extravaganza, aided by musical director David Powell.
All those auditioning for major roles should prepare to sing 16 bars of a rock song, and 16 bars of a song from musical theater. Yes, two pieces of music! for the major roles. If you would like to audition for the ensemble only (townsfolk mostly) and can prepare 16 bars of a musical theater song that would be great. Those ensemble characters sing together a bit (little to no solo singing), and dance (not very difficult dancing) a little. If you are shy about singing and dancing….don’t let that stop you….there are some smaller ensemble roles which could accommodate a non-singer or a non-dancer. Just come to auditions and we will read you for one of those roles.
The show begins rehearsals (weekday evenings and weekends) on Feb. 8, 2016. The show runs April 14 – May 8, 2016 at FRT. With music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe (who also wrote Legally Blonde, the Musical) the beat-driven rock score pays homage to rock musicals of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Behind the lurid headlines, Bat Boy provides a compelling theatrical metaphor for the dangers of prejudice and provincialism; the blood, guts and occasional implied sex mean the kids should sit this one out.
