Auditions For Camp Rock The Musical Coming Soon

BOBDIREX is excited to announce that Camp Rock The Musical will be coming to Indianapolis in early July. We are also excited to announce that auditions for Camp Rock The Musical will take place on April 3rd and 5th at the Athanaeum Theatre.

View the flyer for Camp Rock The Musical auditions

More information about auditions:

Should you audition ? YES !!!

We are looking for a cast of approximately 30 young people…Everyone needs to look high school or college age…if you are younger than that but think you can play a little older, come on out and we’ll decide based on your abilities and attitude…we want every shape, size and color…just be positive and excited in your audition !!!

If you are a great singer and so-so dancer, come on….
If you are a great dancer and so-so singer, come on….
If you are a so-so singer and so-so dancer, come on anyway and get the experience
of auditioning for a pro production

There are 12 good speaking roles and the rest of the ensemble will depend
on the number of good auditioners we have. Be sure to bring your head shot, resume and music.

Only one role has been cast already. Jessica Murphy will be playing ‘Mitchie’

The two big Disney TV Movies, “Camp Rock” and “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,” have been combined into one big, live stage show “Disney’s Camp Rock the Musical.” Most of the action comes from the second movie, ‘Final Jam.’ Every performer who is cast in the show will receive a salary. This is a job, and you will be expected to treat it as one. We will need to have you at all performances and tech rehearsals, but a conflict sheet will be provided when you audition for you to list availability problems you might have for some rehearsals.

This is the same group of people who first brought you “High School Musical” to Indianapolis and “The Wiz” shortly there after…It will be a great show, so come on out and do your best !!!

If you have additional questions, email, bobdirex@aol.com and we will answer them as best we can….

Thanks and we’ll see you April 3 or April 5 !!!
