A Broadway Christmas Carol is a delightful and unexpected mix of show tune song parodies and Charles Dickens' classic story of the redeemed miser, Ebenezer Scrooge. What you get is a laugh-out-loud, roll-in-the-aisles funny, but close to the Dickens narrative holiday quirky production. The witty song parodies, the split-second costume changes and the old miser singing to bring down the chanticleer provide the breath-taking fun at a breakneck pace, but the story is all Dickens. The Ghost of Christmas Present is costumed as a giant Christmas present, Tiny Tim appears in a show-stopping turn donning an "Annie fright wig," and Scrooge's third phantom is a send up of the Broadway stage's most famous Phantom.
No Broadway show is safe in A Broadway Christmas Carol. Every year multiple Broadway shows are spoofed and blended to recreate the Dickens Christmas classic in new and funny ways.

AUDITION INFORMATION
CAST
1 female
3 males
PREPARATION
Please prepare a three (3) minute audition for our production team. You need to prepare a combination of song and appropriate monologue (either comedic or dramatic, depending on the production you are audition for). Prepare sixteen (16) measures of your song. A piano and CD player will be available on site. Participants may bring a CD of music, sing a capella, or may sing from sheet music provided they have their own guest accompanist with them. An accompanist from the staff will not be available. The directing staff does ask that your choice of song be of the style of a classic Broadway musical number as that best matches the style of music for this production. Contemporary musical numbers will likely not give as best an insight into your performance abilities with respect to this show. At your choice, you may also bring a headshot and resume, though this is not needed. Please bring your appointment calendars on that day so that you are prepared to state any rehearsal conflicts you may anticipate.
