WHEN AND WHERE: Auditions for our spring musical: The Unsinkable Molly Brown will be December 5, Thursday in the theatre starting at 3:30pm. WHAT TO PREPARE: Please prepare a one-minute song. Find a karaoke youtube version of your song (or any mp3 that doesn't have vocals) on your phone or device. SYNOPSIS: Miners, brawls, pretty girls, love, romance, maritime disasters and Meredith Willson's music and lyrics – The Unsinkable Molly Brown is the rags-to-riches love story of Molly and Leadville Johnny Brown, owners of the richest mine in the U.S. at the turn of the twentieth century. A comedic, yet honest, commentary on the classes and the human spirit of the Colorado settlers, this grand musical is a tour de force with rousing and sentimental songs, as well as dances that are reminiscent of the times. This spirited tale of a legendary, real-life American original follows the exploits of Molly Brown, whose feisty determination to rise above her impoverished beginnings leads her from the backwoods of Hannibal, Missouri, to the palaces of Europe. Along the way, she marries a lucky prospector, enters the highest echelons of Monte Carlo society, survives the sinking of the Titanic and, most importantly, earns the approval that she so desperately seeks from those "Beautiful People of Denver." Funny, light, uplifting and uniquely American, The Unsinkable Molly Brown charmed Broadway and film audiences with its irresistible, outrageous title role, in the tradition of such unforgettable characters as Auntie Mame, Dolly Levi and Mama Rose, as well as Meredith Willson's rousing score, in the tradition of his immortal The Music Man. CHARACTERS: Come see a full cast description on the call board in the theatre If you are interested in tech, please come see me in the theatre to get a contract! Rachel performed a beautiful song for (In)Sight Colab Theatre Company (aka Theatre Esprit Asia) to help raise money for their new year of theatre. This theatre spotlights inclusive, innovative, and inspiring works to illuminate our shared human experience. Congratulations, Rachel, on an amazing performance!
