Avenue Q

Theatre Charlotte will host auditions for “Avenue Q” on Sunday, March 24 and Monday, March 25 at 7pm at Theatre Charlotte (501 Queens Road, Charlotte, NC 28207.) You need only plan to attend one of the two auditions. “Avenue Q” will be directed by Billy Ensley.

Winner of the Tony Awards Triple Crown for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, “Avenue Q” is part puppet, part human and packed with heart. It is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the timeless story of a recent college graduate named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

Actors should prepare a song and bring the sheet music to the audition. Songs from the show are fine. Character voices are fine as well. Bring resume and headshot if you have them. Before auditioning, make certain you are available for all the performances and critical final tech/dress rehearsals leading up to opening night. Performances dates are May 17-19, 22-26, 29-31, June 1-2. Character breakdowns are as follows.
