Hello!
We are excited that you are submitting a self-tape for ‘Zorba’ at J2 Spotlight Musical Theater Company. Thank you in advance for your hard work and preparation.
If you would like to read the play prior to your audition, CLICK HERE to access a copy.
This powerful show from the creators of Cabaret and Fiddler on the Roof tells the story of Zorba the Greek, a carefree vagabond, and his chosen friend, the unworldly Nikos, as they journey through the mountains of Crete and into the hearts and minds of that tight knit, yet fractious, community. The powerful score includes “Life Is,” “The Butterfly,” and “I Am Free.”
This production of Zorba will go back to the original production’s concept which details a group of storytellers who inhabit multiple roles throughout the show and never leave the stage during its duration. We are especially interested in a gritty and earthy take on the material.
We are NOT having in person auditions for this, we are casting based off of your self tape submissions. Also, please note – you must be local to NYC for this contract. This company doesn’t provide housing.
For this self-tape please prepare:
-Begin your submission with a Slate: Name, Height, Location.
-16 Bars of your own song cut in the style of the show.
-The FULL material for your requested role found in the folders below – sides and song cuts – EVERYTHING!
-Include a dance/movement reel if you have one.
-Please note in your submission if you have any ability to play any instruments, especially guitar and hand percussion (tambourine/hand drums) and string/reed/brass instruments. Please submit a short video of your capabilities on the instrument, if you can.
