The Fantasticks is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time. It is a moving tale of young lovers who become disillusioned, only to discover a more mature and meaningful love. The Fantasticks is the longest-running musical in the world, and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The beautiful score is punctuated by a series of catchy, memorable songs, many of which have become standards.
For the audition, please prepare a brief monologue and 32 bars of a standard Broadway song. The sheet music must be in the key you will sing it in. The accompanist will NOT transpose on the spot. No CD accompaniment or a cappella singing. The song and the monologue together should not last more than three minutes. Also, please bring a headshot and resume.
