Auditions for ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, JR at Musical Theatre of Anthem announced for October 9


Musical Theatre of Anthem (MTA) announces auditions for Once on This Island JR., a poignant story with a catchy Caribbean-flavored score.

Once on This Island JR. is a highly original theatrical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's popular fairy tale, The Little Mermaid, and the Tony-nominated Broadway musical by the legendary writing team, Ahrens and Flaherty. Through almost non-stop song and dance, this full-hearted musical tells the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of her island. When Daniel is returned to his people, the fantastical gods who rule the island, guide Ti Moune on a quest that will test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred and even death.
