Director Scott Sauber and Slidell Little Theatre announce Auditions for the upcoming Season Opener for the 25/26 slate at SLT,
THE WIZARD of OZ
The RSC version of the musical is closest to the original 1939 movie with additional lyrics for the Scarecrow, Tinman, and Lion. It also includes a reprise of Over the Rainbow for Auntie Em and the jazz inspired Jitterbug Song that was cut from the original movie for the Witch and Dorothy.
WHERE: Slidell High School's Auditorium
WHEN: June 16 & 17 from 5:00 - 8:00

PREPARE: Auditioners are encouraged to sing 16 - 32 bars from the show.
All roles are available and all lead roles sing.
