Do you know a young performer ready for the spotlight? Musical Theatre of Anthem (MTA) is hosting auditions for two upcoming productions: Disney Cinderella KIDS and Seussical on January 8 and 9, 2022.
Disney Cinderella KIDS (ages 6-10, all youth are cast)
The timeless fairytale meets the magic of Disney in this adaptation of the treasured animated film. Poor Cinderella is endlessly mistreated by her wicked stepmother and stepsisters and denied a chance to go to the royal ball. A little help from her mice friends and a touch of magic from her Fairy Godmother send Cinderella to the ball to meet the prince and fall in love! With a beautiful score, including “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” and the classic “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo,” Cinderella KIDS will charm its way into your heart and remind you that dreams really can come true.

Seussical (ages 11-adult, all youth ages 11-19 are cast)
“Oh, the thinks you can think” when Dr. Seuss’ best-loved characters collide and cavort in an unforgettable musical caper! Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza. Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, Ragtime) have lovingly brought to life all our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. In this show, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and ultimately emerge triumphant.
