The Disney Company and Disney Parks will be holding auditions this month for “Finding Nemo, The Musical”.
The production is seeking to fill a variety of lead and ensemble roles for the show produced by Walt Disney World Orlando. Finding Nemo is a musical theater show based on the Disney/Pixar feature film and will be performed at Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando, FL.
The auditions will be held this coming Monday at Pearl Studios in New York City. They are seeking singers, both male and female to fill all the lead roles including that of Nemo, Dory, Crush, Bloat and Gill. Those that are cast for the show will need to relocate to Orlando Florida for the duration of their contract.
In order to qualify to be cast in the show you must be a legal US resident who is at least 18 years of age at the time of the audition.
Those planning to attend must bring a current headshot and resume as well as prepare a 16 bar musical selection to perform at the audition and provide clearly marked sheet music, in the correct key, for the accompanist. You will not be allowed to use pre-prepared music or sing the song a cappella. You must use the supplied accompanist for your selected music.
The show is a combination of performers and puppets and actors who are cast to be in the show will appear as themselves while at the same time manipulating a puppet of their specific character.
