Fountain Hills Theater announces the auditions for the musical Victor/Victoria.
In jazz-age Paris, singer Victoria Grant struggles to make ends meet. With some help from her flamboyant friend Toddy, Victoria ultimately achieves stardom by masquerading as a man, "Count Victor Grazinski," who performs as a female impersonator. When macho businessman King Marchan develops feelings for "Victor" and Victoria reciprocates, comic hijinks ensue. Musical numbers include "Le Jazz Hot," "You and Me," "Paris By Night" and "Crazy World."
Victor/Victoria is directed by Peter J. Hill and musically directed by Robin Peterson.
Victor/Victoria will play Sept. 9 - 25, 2022.
Auditions will be held Saturday, June 25 @ 10:00am and Sunday, June 26 @ 4:00pm. Callbacks (If required) Monday, June 27 @ 7:00pm. Auditioners are asked to sing 16- 32 bars of a song that best shows off their voice and range, this will be followed by a dance audition.
