Open Children’s Auditions
For “Les Miz”

The casting team for “Les Miserables,” now playing at The Colonial Theatre, will hold open auditions on Tuesday, December 2, for children for future replacements in the National Touring Company.

Auditions will be held at the Jeannette Neill Dance Studio, 261 Friend Street in Boston. All those auditioning must register during the sign-in period from 3:00 to 3:30 P.M. only. Auditions begin promptly at 3:30 P.M.

Children are being sought for two important roles in the show -- Gavroche (boys ages 7 to 11) and Young Cosette (girls ages 7 to 11). No professional experience is required to audition and casting for all roles in entirely interracial. Children should bring a recent photo stapled to a resume listing any singing and acting experience or training.

Each child will be asked to sing one musical theater song of his or her choice with an accompanist provided by the show. Children may sing a selection from “Les Miz,” but if not, should bring their own sheet music. All children must sing with the piano. Children and their parents/guardians must be willing to travel with the national tour.

Also note the height requirement. No boys taller than 52 inches will be auditioned. No girls taller than 50 inches will be auditioned.
