AVENUE Q - AUSTRALIA
Fri, 10 Oct 2008, 02:06 pmThe hit Broadway musical comedy - AVENUE Q - is finally confirmed to open in Melbourne next year and then to travel around Oz and NZ!
I saw this show twice on Broadway and laughed so hard! I think this will be the most succesful musical in Oz since Priscilla!
The Auditions are being held next week and I heard that Jonathon Biggins will be re-directing (Great actor/ Comedian/ Director) which is great! Nathan Wright (great dancer/actor/singer) has been invited to choreograph - a perfect choice!
I also heard that they are casting a group of talented YOUNGER actors to play the roles. Is this true anyone? Its a different approach to the original older cast but with such a great group of young talented musical theatre perfomers in Oz, i believe the show will be a hit!
Any other info on this show anyone? Any ideas on who could be cast in the roles? Ive got my dream role ideas!
Lets start spreading the news! If you havent seen the show yet, youtube it! If you have seen it; then lend your soundtrack out!
:D

(As for it coming, it's old news, I posted it here about a month or so ago...But auditions? that's new!)

Do you have an agent? You
Do you have an agent? You should get them to possibly hook you up for an audition. Be quick though..they are next week.
(I saw your post a month ago, but wanted to re-ignite some excitment!)

Hahah!
Way off. I'm not a performer. I'm a techie, producer and puppet builder. No, I have some friends who want to audition, which is why I asked; they have informed me that things are quiet on the audition front at the moment, so either you're ahead of the game compared to them, or the info isn't solid yet.
So are Arts Asia Pacific the ones holding the auditions, or are they getting a casting agency? (Feel free to PM if you'd rather not share with everyone... or if you don't want to share at all I understand)

Above you will see dates
Above you will see dates for the sale of tickets (or is that a different thread...?). If you sign up at the Avenue Q website, you will also be notified of news.
As for auditions, they've already been held and the show already cast.
