How do open auditions work? I imagine them as an X Factor type nightmare where anyone can just turn up, alongside actual professional musical theatre actors. I'm not in the know but I'd imagine they happen very separately. Open auditions for ensemble/understudy roles generally, and also just for PR, and then usual invited auditions for leads. |

It says that they’re auditioning for the six leads.

How do open auditions work? I imagine them as an X Factor type nightmare where anyone can just turn up, alongside actual professional musical theatre actors. That’s exactly how they work. However, professional auditions will happen in a couple of months where agents will submit their clients as normal. Most professionals won’t go to an open call. Open calls are a great way for casting teams to find that ‘hidden gem’, but mainly a way for a production to gain some hubbub and excitement LONG before a casting announcement or tickets go on sale. They very rarely actually cast someone from an open call. But in today’s X Factor generation, Open style calls are usually expected are being used much more than even 2-3 years ago. Wicked U.K. Tour and Hamilton were the first ones I can think of for ages. |

Imagine how many times those poor casting people will have to hear 'Let it Go'.

There is an ageing reindeer called Rudy in the stables near where I live.Might speak to Farmer John to see if he fancies a road trip to the auditions lol.By the way,any updates on the dreaded ice-castle? I imagine the audiences are going to be made up of screechy ten-year old girls dressed as Elsa (£19.99 from the Disney Store) with glow sticks and buckets of candy-floss (electric blue coloured),accompanied by stressed-out parents.The Bad Behaviour thread will be in melt-down with this. I fear so. Of course they will be asleep after the interval, which is what happened in the Denver pre Broadway tryout. |

I have a friend who got very close to being cast in LES MIS from the open auditioning and years ago another friend got quite far into the audition process for the WICKED tour from the open auditions.
Weren’t two cast members from the recent revival of CHORUS LINE found at open auditions?
While the majority of the time they’re just for publicity they do have their benefits.

Just thought this was interesting...Caissie Levy replied to a tweet saying ‘i’ll be with frozen broadway until feb 2020’ - thought it was interesting that she’d specifically say ‘Frozen Broadway’ as opposed to just Frozen.
(Sorry don’t know how to link tweets)

She was responding to someone who mentioned the show as "FrozenBroadway", so why shouldn't she? If she hadn't then people would be saying "She said Frozen, but not which production. That must mean she's moving to a different production in November". |

I don’t know, just to me the ‘Broadway’ sounds more precise than ‘Frozen’ in general! |

The point I was making is that whatever happened there'd be people reading something into it. Mention a detail and people ask "Why so specific?" Don't mention a detail and people ask "Why so vague?" Stay silent and people want to know what you're trying to hide. Say something and people think you're directing attention away from something you're trying to hide.

I read somewhere they were looking for all British leads. They don’t need to stunt cast so this could be one stellar cast!!

If we get an LED display can we also have a Burger King inside this wonderful iconic building...said the snobby old-fashioned stick-in-the-mud traditionalist...and proud of it!

Theatre hordings now going up I’d say that that’s not an official hoarding, but one of those temporary ones whilst the work continues beneath. |

ngl I love the amount of money Disney chuck at Marketing. You watch some people will think this is the only show on the WE soon when it starts its first big hit of publicity.

Priority booking opens at the end of January, with tickets on general sale from March. It also looks like they’re slightly adapting the poster. http://instagram.com/p/B5mem7nou7v |

The theatre is also getting a 'new' shorter name, once it re-opens, it will just be referred to as 'The Lane'. Oh hell no. It’s not a sodding cocktail bar. |
