Grease Audition Information

Hello, Everyone planning to audition for Grease!  Welcome to JAKS 2015-2016 season.
It seems to be a very good idea, since we are doing a Grease number in the Benefit, to start Grease early-not the rehearsals they will still start on Sept. 1.  But I am going to audition early.  I will start auditions August 10 and will audition all week.  We will need to fit it into the Benefit schedule, so it will be a bit crazy. Morning's are best for me and I will have Beth prepare a sign up sheet.  If you will be out of town that week please set up a time before if possible, or talk to me.
This will be a really fun show for everyone.  Many of the parts will be double cast, but still not every girl will get to be Sandy, Patty or a Pink Lady and not every boy will be Danny or a T-Bird. 
I want to give you a list of the other parts you might want to consider.
Miss Lynch
Cha Cha
Eugene
Vince Fontaine- I am creating a WAXX station, so Vince Fontaine will be seen as he's doing his radio show. 
Johnny Casino-Sings Hand Jive
Singer (Girl)-Raining on Prom Night
Marty's Little Sister's slumber party scene- lines and songs
Cathy-Marty's little sister-Sings Sandra Dee with different words
Cathy's Slumber Party friends:  1-sings a short version of Freddy my Love, 2-sing Let's get together, and more (we can have 6 in this scene)
Dancers-not Pink Ladies or T-Birds, Eugene or Patty   for:
                                Mechanics in Greased Lightning-dance and sing  (can be girls)
                                6 Couples to do a swing dance to Shakin' at the High School Hop (can be T-                                           birds)

Ensemble Dances:  
Grease is the Word will have 3 boys-not t-birds, 3 girls-not t-birds and 4 cheerleaders-not Patty
Magic Changes will have Dancers other than the back-up singers.  All will sing and dance
Magic changes will also have teen fans sighing over Doody
Marty's Slumber Party will have 2 or three more girls and they will dance in Greased Lightning with the Pink Ladies
Cheer-Need 6 Cheerleaders other than Patty and Sandy (4 will be in the opening and they can switch off so they can all be in the opening some of the time as well as the cheer)
Dancers for Beauty School Drop Out for Break out dance
Beauty school drop out- FULL CAST
Hand Jive:  Pink Ladies, T Birds, Danny, Cha Cha, Patty, Eugene, and Ensemble
We Go Together-Full Cast
Summer Nights-Most of the Cast, but ensemble parts may be double cast like the leads.
You're the One That I Want-I need dancers for this and maybe a cheerleader or two

So, as you see there are a lot of places for everyone to fit.  Try for the part you want-you might get it.  I will cast based on the quality of the Audition-so learn the song or songs you want, practice harmony parts, and audition with confidence.  Show me what you can do!!!
