The McAdo Auditions - Grand Rapids
Advertisement
Auditions are coming up for the West Michigan Savoyards' original "spaghetti western" rewrite of Gilbert & Sullivan's comic operetta The Mikado, The McAdo!
Audition registration: https://forms.gle/fXhpyrec5VsfLUmW7
You do not need to audition to be a member of the chorus, though you are more than welcome to do auditions anyway. If you are only interested in chorus, you do not need to be available for callbacks.
Music To Prepare
We request that you prepare 16-32 bars (60-90 seconds) from a piece of your choosing to be accompanied on piano.
Rehearsal and Show Times
The show will be May 13 - 16, 2027 (though we ask you are available every evening starting on the 9th) and rehearsals will be every Saturday morning from 9am - 1pm starting in January. Please make note of these times - if you cannot make the show week, we ask that you join us for next year's production. If you have a significant set of conflicts with rehearsals but you still feel you wish to perform, please consider joining the chorus.
In addition to the standard rehearsal schedule, before the new year we will be attempting to schedule character workshops to get a jump start on scenes with a small number of people on stage.
