Based on the beloved Disney animated film, and featuring a jazzy, upbeat score, Disney’s The Aristocats KIDS is a non-stop thrill ride of feline fun, complete with unbelievable twists and turns. In the heart of Paris, a kind and eccentric millionairess wills her entire estate to Duchess, her high-society cat, and her three little kittens. Laughs and adventure ensue as the greedy, bumbling butler pulls off the ultimate catnap caper. Now it is up to the rough-and-tumble alley cat, Thomas O'Malley, and his band of swingin' jazz cats to save the day. Auditionees are required to sing. For this audition, auditionees will be provided with music selection, sample vocal track, and accompaniment track for the audition. ALL ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WILL BE SENT WITH AN EMAIL CONFIRMING YOUR APPOINTMENT. Auditionees should also prepare a one-minute monologue from a play or novel appropriate for this genre.
