Being in a live production with The Biz includes approx. 50-100 hours of acting, vocal, and dance instruction, depending on what role is accepted. Plus, your child will get the experience of being on stage, with costumes, props, and a set, and learn memorization skills, coordination, time management, and many other life skills.  In addition, parents are expected to volunteer approx. 10 hours towards this production, or pay an additional $100.

*Financial assistance available through The MRA Foundation

Rehearsal Schedule:

Rehearsal schedule will be available soon after auditions. We will start rehearsals about a week after auditions.  Please put ALL conflicts on the back of your AUDITION FORM. Please note that NO CONFLICTS will be allowed for any performance or any day the week before the show opens unless cleared with the director at the time of auditions.

Preparation:

Prepare 16-32 bars of a contemporary musical theater song or an Elvis song! Complete these two forms (Audition Form & Attendance Policy) prior to arriving for your audition.  It is preferred for the Audition Form to be filled out on a computer so that all fields are completed and legible.  The form works best when opened and completed in Adobe Acrobat (not a web browser).

Arrive on the day of your audition at least 10 MINUTES early to sign-in at The Biz office and be sure to bring the following:

1. A BACKUP TRACK OF YOUR SONG ON A PHONE (no vocals can be on the backup track).  You can bring SHEET MUSIC too, but an accompanist may not be available, so please be sure to bring a backup track.
2. YOUR COMPLETED AUDITION FORM & ATTENDANCE POLICY
3. ALL MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY CONFLICTS (including holidays) FROM March 18 – May 17, WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF THE AUDITION FORM. Please include any vacations! We require ALL cast members to be available for every night of tech rehearsals and ALL shows. (Conflicts added after casting may result in being asked to step down from the show.)
4. DRESS NICELY, but bring CLOTHES THAT YOU CAN DANCE IN. We will hold a mandatory 30 minute dance audition after every 2 sets of singing time slots.

Synopsis:

Loosely based on Shakespeare’s TWELFTH NIGHT, it’s 1955 and into a square little town rides a guitar-playing young man who changes everything and everyone he meets. Featuring mega hits from the beloved Elvis® catalogue this musical fantasy will have you jumpin’ out of your blue suede shoes with such classics as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Don’t Be Cruel.”

ALL SHOOK UP is a hilarious and heartfelt musical with an original book by Joe DiPietro, creator of the Tony Award®-winning musical MEMPHIS. The whole production is a delightful experience that celebrates the enduring legacy of Elvis Presley®. ALL SHOOK UP is more than just a musical—it’s a vibrant, joyous celebration of the power of love, the power of music, and the power of community.
