Pioneer Theatre Company Announces Auditions for the Musical
Next to Normal 
Music by Tom Kitt, book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey
 
Auditions for the pop-rock musical Next to Normal, the first show in Pioneer Theatre Company’s 2011-2012 season, will be held on Wednesday, June 15, 2011, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Callbacks will be Thursday, June 16, 2011; that time will be announced to those called back.
 
Audition slots from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 15 are for Actors’ Equity members only. Audition slots from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. are open to all auditioners. The sign-up sheet will be posted by noon on Friday, June 7, 2011. Auditions will be held in Room 245 at Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre.
 
Non-AEA auditioners must come in to sign up on the callboard in Room 325 at the Roy W. and Elizabeth E. Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre. AEA members ONLY may contact Elizabeth Williamson at elizabeth.williamson@ptc.utah.edu to sign up, STARTING Wednesday, June 8, 2011. (This feature is available for Actors’ Equity members only; please do not contact earlier than Wednesday, June 8, 2011.)
 
Auditioners will be asked to sing only one song to begin with, but should be prepared to sing two contrasting contemporary musical theatre selections: an up-tempo selection and a ballad. Pop-based styles are preferred (e.g. Jason Robert Brown, Stephen Schwartz, Elton John, etc., but not Stephen Sondheim, William Finn, etc.). Selections should show the auditioner’s ability to sing syncopated pop rhythms, as well as the extent of the singer's high, pop-style belt range. Dramatic non-theatre songs are also acceptable (e.g. Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, etc.). The audition slots are limited to three minutes.
 
An accompanist will be provided, but auditioners should bring their own sheet music and/or scores (neither will be provided by the theatre). A photo and résumé are recommended. The callback audition will involve dancing as well as singing from the score.
 
Rehearsal dates for the production are Monday, August 22, 2011 – Thursday, September 15, 2011; performance dates are September 16, 2011 – October 1, 2011. Guest artist Karen Azenberg will direct and choreograph the production; Larry Goldberg will be the musical director.
 
All roles are currently available; all auditioners must be 18 or older.
