It’s time to cut loose! Life in small town Bomont is peaceful but the townspeople live in the shadow of a tragedy and dancing is banned. That is until city boy, Ren McCormack arrives and shakes up the status quo, reminding us all: It’s no sin just being young. This feel good musical will have you dancing in your seats and will leave you feeling Footloose and fancy free.
Please prepare 32 bars of a musical theatre song in the style of the show. There will be NO accompanist. You must bring a CD with accompaniment, or have a digital file (flash drive/or mobile) provided it is edited and cued correctly. A résumé and 8”×10” headshot is requested, but not required.
Please also wear or bring comfortable dance attire, as all who audition will be required to learn a short dance/movement combination.
