LION KING MS CASTING

Thank you all for auditioning!! Thank you also to our audition panel who worked tirelessly over the past week and holiday break!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!!  

The Lion King, Jr. is a vibrant ensemble show with cast members CONSTANTLY moving in and out of numbers.  The ensemble is the heart, soul, and star of the show. You all are a vital part of bringing The Lion King, Jr. to life! 

You will definitely enjoy the incredible music, choreography, comedy, a great story—and great stage combat, the percussion ensemble, some puppetry, and amazing dancing, with a powerful message and just plain old-fashioned fun that this show offers.

Prepared to be challenged, this journey to the African Savannah and Pridelands is going to be our most ambitious artistic musical journey yet! 

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING NOTES THOROUGHLY!  THE CAST LIST LINK IS LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST.

• BE AWARE THAT ALL ACTORS  HAVE MORE THAN ONE RESPONSIBILITY IN THE SHOWS!!!! The casts will be placed into Lion Cast and King Cast over the next 4 weeks of rehearsal.
• ​ UNDERSTUDIES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
• Several understudy roles will be cast during the first weeks of rehearsals.
• Understudies must memorize lines and be at all rehearsals for the part they are “understudy”-ing! You may be called upon to  go on for actors during dress rehearsals and for the performances...it has happened every year!!! 
• Understudies will also be performing their roles at community events in March.
• We are going to be moving fast—so please treat rehearsal time seriously, and learn your music and lines as soon as possible.
• You ALL are going to be busy—the show moves fast—and we have the challenge of making this ICONIC Broadway musical and animated film come to life. 
• SOME lines, featured solos, ensembles, and featured stage combat, dances,  tumbling, puppetry and extra roles will be assigned during REHEARSALS—it really pays to be at rehearsals working hard and showing off your hard work and commitment! 
• Please trust that you will learn more about your part at rehearsals and DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE IT!—We have cast it to allow everyone to have substantial stage time in which to shine. There is more that what meets the eye on the page of the script books!
• The FIRST MS rehearsal is this Tuesday from 3:30 to 5:30 in the MS Cafeteria for ALL MS CAST & CREW. Thursday is an all MS cast from 3:30 to 5:00. Crew attendance is optional
