Audition: February 23, 2011 Hip-Hop/Burlesque Production of Femme Capulet seeking Romeo and Benvolio

Cherry Blossom Cabaret, Hawaii’s Premier Cabaret Revue, is auditioning for the parts of Romeo and Benvolio for their June 2011 production of Femme Capulet, Directed by Troy M. Apostol. Open call auditions will take place on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 6:30pm at The ARTS at Marks Garage (1159 Nu'uanu Avenue, Honolulu, Hawaii 96817).

Femme Capulet is an experimental take on Romeo and Juliet, where Shakespeare’s original text is mashed-up with song and dance medleys in the style of Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge. The tale of the star-cross’d lovers is set in the seedy gentlemen’s club known as Femme Capulet, where two worlds, burlesque and hip-hop, collide. Can love triumph against familial obligation, hatred, and even time? Magical Mercutio knows…

This production will combine acting, dance, burlesque, aerial, street dance and singing.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Please let the director know if you have other skills such as beat boxing, break dancing, popping locking, etc… Though it is not a requirement, please be prepared to be asked to dance.

Please bring a resume and headshot to the audition. A professional headshot is not required. Be prepared to list any conflicts you might have during the rehearsal and performance period at the auditions.

Rehearsals for Femme Capulet will begin May 1, 2011. Performances will be Friday and Saturday evenings June 17-25.
