AUDITION: THE FROG PRINCE

SYNOPSIS:

Book adapted by Donald J. Leonard, Jr. / Music and Lyrics by David Frier / Adapted from the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, The Frog Prince combines song, dance, and comedy with the story of a young prince who has been turned into a frog by an evil witch. Add to the cast of characters a young princess whom no one can understand because she, too, lives under a witch’s spell, three singing frogs, a pet snake who has a taste for frogs, a solemn king, and a silly court jester. Songs range from the haunting ballad, ’How I Became A Frog,’ to the rousing finale, ’Happy Ending.’  Listen to the songs here.

This show will tour throughout southern NH, stopping at libraries, camps, and the studio theatre for approximately 8-10 performances between July 15 and 26, 2024.

• IMPORTANT: If you audition for our production and are cast it is expected you will follow through and do our production; failure to do so may prevent you from being cast in a future show as you will have possibly taken a spot from someone who was not cast. If you are auditioning ONLY for specific roles you may specify that on the audition form and you will only be considered for those roles. If you do not specify we will assume you will accept ANY role offered.
• There is a $30.00 production fee associated with this production (if you need financial assistance please fill out our Majestic Theatre Scholarship Form – this should be done immediately AFTER casting as needing scholarship assistance is NOT a factor in casting).
