AUDITIONS – THE WIZ (LONDON) – ROLE OF EVILLENE
Mayhem Musical Theatre Company is holding open auditions for the role of Evillene for their forthcoming production of THE WIZ, to be performed at the Arthur Cotterell Theatre, Kingston-upon-Thames from 28th – 31th October 2009. Auditions will take place on Thursday 3rd September at 7.30pm in Morden, London.
THE SHOW
Based on the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the musical tells the story of Dorothy, who’s blown away from Kansas and lands in Munchkinland where she meets the Cowardly Lion, the Tinman and the Scarecrow; and their adventures as they travel down the yellow brick road to see the Wizard in Oz. The Wiz is a fun, funky and high-energy version of “The Wizard of Oz”, with great musical numbers and a variety of characters for performers of all ages. The show is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in musical theatre, with lots of roles for both adults and children.
REHEARSALS
Rehearsals will be held on Thursday evenings & some Sunday afternoons at Emmanuel Hall, Morden or St Johns Ambulance Hall, South Wimbledon.
THE ROLE – EVILLENE
Female – Alto
Audition Song – No Bad News
Audition Script – Available upon request
The Wicked Witch of the West is the comic book villain of the show. She is vain, melodramatic, mean, loud and a devilish diva! Commanding and intimidating she gets what she wants! A hilariously camp role for a character actor. Some ideas to help your characterization would be:
§ Wilamina From Ugly Betty
§ Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer) in Stardust
§ Ursula from The Little Mermaid
§ Karen from Will and Grace (when she’s at her bitchiest!)
