Millie Cast List - Girls



CAST LIST
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE
GIRLS ONLY

Dear Cast,  Thanks for joining us in this production.  You all did a great job at your auditions and I really appreciate your preparation.  To all of you who tried out for Millie, you made it very hard on me.  It was a difficult decision.  Boys, I’m sorry but I am not prepared to cast your parts yet.  I need to hear “Ah Sweet Mystery of Life” from Cody, Rylan, and James before I can make a decision.  Also, I have some auditions in the morning.  But, I promise to have your parts cast on Monday. 

The part of Rita has been expanded and includes lines not in the script.  Rita will be in all the scenes with Ruth, Alice and Gloria, except the scene before Nutty Cracker Suite.

Millie - Week of September 17th

Hello "Millie" Cast members,

There are no rehearsals next week- Sept 17-24

Auditions begin Tuesday, September 25-at my house  2491 S 1150 W Syracuse
I will audition between 4-8:45  September 25,26,27,28  (I'd like to reserve the 28th for call-backs)
I will cast the show before the rehearsal Saturday September 29

You need to go online and choose an audition date and time at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuC74T3RhlxPdEtTdmtILUZ6V2gzSVZrUkM5ZlgtaEE, or email me if you have issues with the document.  Please be on time, because they are only 15 minutes.

You may try out for any character, but if that character sings (look at the "songs by character" page in your script if you're not sure) you must come prepared to sing and you must choose a song that your character sings.  You should also have it memorized and plan to perform in character.  If you have not chosen a role with a solo singing part I will just be listening for pitch and your ability to harmonize. 

You will be asked to read from the script from any scene you choose. This doesn't need to be memorized, but you should be familiar with the scene

You may audition for more than one character.

Rehearsal Schedule Saturday September 29:
    Dance (opening dancers-tba-only) 10:00-12:00  
    Full Cast  1:00-4:00  Performance Dance

If you have any questions, please email, or you can call me at 801.510.8414, updates are also posted at http://jaksgreenroom.blogspot.com/ (which is no longer locked so anyone can access).

Thanks,
Jill

Thoroughly Modern Millie

Hello Kids and Parents,

I received the contract for Thoroughly Modern Millie, and am ready to begin the rehearsal process, but I need to know which of you are going to do this show, and which of you will be at rehearsal on September 15 at 10:00 (on the dot).

So, when you read this please don't ignore it, respond even if you have already answered the question.

Also, I will give a tuition discount to any of you who can bring in a new, tuition paying student.  In order to do this show I need to have 20 full tuition's paid every month, so help me out please.  Recruit new kids!!!!  This will be our best show ever!!! Promise!!! (and How To Succeed will be hard to beat)

Also, I think we have all of the correct emails but still some of you don't get our correspondence.  So if you get this email-forward it to your friends in JAKS so nobody gets missed.

Thanks.  Jill
