Musical Auditions: AIDA

The Cocoa Village Playhouse is holding auditions for AIDA on Monday Feb 9th at 7pm for females and Tuesday Feb 10th at 7pm for males.  CVP is located at 300 Brevard Avenue in Cocoa Village on Florida’s Space Coast.  Their phone number is 321-636-5050.

From the CVP audition flyer:

AIDA is Elton John & Tim Rice’s contemporary musical take on the grand classic tale of the love between a soldier and an enslaved princess – a love that transcends the vast culteral differences between the two warring nations.

With a pop-rock score that features stirring ballads and rousing choral numbers, Elton John nd Tim Rice’s AIDA is a modern crowd pleaser that embraces multi-cultural casting and exuberant dancing, staging and singing.

REQUIRES A LARGE MULTI-CULTURAL CAST!

  • No experience necessary. We will train you!
  • Please limit vocal auditions to a maximum of 1 minute or 16 bars of music.  Sheet music is preferred (we provide pianist).  CD accompaniment must not contain prerecorded vocals and must stop at 1 minuteNo cassette tapes please.

Peter Pan at the Cocoa Village Playhouse

The shows at the Cocoa Village Playhouse are always awesome, but Peter Pan is going to be extra special since they are actually flying numerous cast members through the air in the show. This is as close to Broadway as you’ll see in community theatre, I think. (full disclosure: I am not paid by CVP, but I do try to help them out by building sets when I am able.)

Florida Today put together a very nice little video showing the Peter Pan kids learning to fly. Check out the video below. Just click on the play button to watch it.

[Sorry, folks.  Florida Today removed the video.]

Just call 321-636-5050 for CVP tickets or for more information.
