THE NATIONAL TOUR OF THE WIZARD OF OZ ANNOUNCES LOCAL MUNCHKIN AUDITIONS FOR ITS BIRMINGHAM ENGAGEMENT 12 Local Children Will Perform in the Show The National Tour of THE WIZARD OF OZ , touching down in Birmingham in March 9-14, 1010 is sounding the alarm and calling for 12 local children to perform the roles of “munchkins” as part of their performing arts education program, while this beloved classic is live on stage in their hometown! The auditions will take place at The Riverchase Galleria on Saturday, January 30. Registration begins at 9:30 and auditions at 10:00 AM. THE WIZARD OF OZ is looking for a group of 12 skilled dancers and singers engaged in an ongoing study of acting, music and/or dance to perform timeless classics such as “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead,” and help bring this national treasure to the Birmingham stage. The selected children will be from an existing group and will be based on the best overall group talent. No individual children and/or partial group will be selected nor allowed to audition. This opportunity will provide the children with real-life touring theatre experience. They will discover what it’s like to be part of a professional company, learn choreography by Leigh Constantine and be outfitted in the costume designs of Tim McQuillen-Wright. It’s truly a unique experience and incredible opportunity for aspiring actors/actresses to follow their yellow brick road!
