Auditions for All Shook Up are scheduled for 6:30 on Wednesday, May 23rd at the Highland Elementary Auditorium (Lindenthal Avenue in Highland).  Callbacks will be at 7:00 on the following evening, May 24th.

Unlike your typical auditions, you are asked to prepare a song FROM All Shook Up.  Please select one of the songs that are appropriate for your voice and rehearse your part.   The reasoning behind this is simple…the music is not standard Broadway style.  Therefore, singing “Memory” from Cats tells us nothing on how well you can sing “Hound Dog”.  Get it?  And in case you were wondering, an accompanist will be at auditions so you won’t have to sing a cappella.

Here’s the music from which you can choose:

• ASU – A Little Less Conversation
• ASU – Devil in Disguise
• ASU – Dont Be Cruel
• ASU – Fools Fall in Love
• ASU – It Hurts Me
• ASU – Jailhouse Rock
• ASU – Let Yourself Go
• ASU – Now Or Never

A cold read of the script will also be required during the audition.You will be asked to learn and then perform a short dance routine, so be sure to bring comfortable shoes and clothes.

The cast is made up of actors of ALL AGES.  Teen through Senior Citizen ….WE WANT YOU!
