Auditioners in Grades 7+ who are members of our APT program may register for a solo audition but are also welcome to do a Group Audition if they prefer.

The rehearsal tracks are available on Youtube (I'm sure some of our kiddos have already searched 'Little Mermaid Jr Rehearsal tracks;)

If you are unable to attend your audition slot, please send in a video audition. 

 

Callbacks, if needed, will be scheduled for Friday, Feb 6.  Songs and sides will be emailed home to those asked to come for a callback.

​

Material pick up and a read-through for Named characters ONLY will be held Feb 13. 

 

If Crocus students (or other schools that have shows in rehearsal during the same time) want to be in The Little Mermaid Jr, we'd love to have you.  Amelie finishes early enough that we will be able to work with conflicts, as we have in past years . We've always said that it's important to us that Mecca kids do their high school show - and it is! 

For all auditioners with other commitments on Sunday afternoons or Friday evenings, be SURE to indicate the dates you have conflicts on your audition form for scheduling and casting purposes. 

 

Audition instructions (arrival, check in, etc) will be posted here later this month and emailed home.

Our team is so excited to bring this show to life! Can't wait for our time together 'Under The Sea'!

​​​​​​​​​​

The cast list will not be finalized until AFTER callbacks are completed.  If you didn't receive a callback, that doesn't mean you aren't in the show.

​

Group  auditions mean you will audition with a GROUP of performers of similar age. You will spend 30 minutes with us and 20 other performers.  You will sing in small groups.  From those sessions, we will call back performers for specific roles.

​

Important INFO:
- MANDATORY: Print and bring your AUDITION FORM with you to your audition.  Performers and Parents read it carefully before you sign it.  

​

Regardless, each performer must register for an audition slot as that is how we will collect emails and contact info :).   We will communicate with parents via the email and Chat feature in StudioPro.  

 

You can also join our Mecca Kids' Musical Facebook group.  It's a private group so please answer the questions.
