Re:Children of Eden - 2008/04/12 18:34
First off, Children of Eden is a play about the old testament. The first act is the story of the creation, the second act is the story of Noah's Ark. The show is traditionally double casted, with certain lead actors from the first act playing certain parts in the second. Depending on the size of your company, this may or may not be done.
If you are looking for a feature role, I would look into Eve or Yonah. Depending on the age range of auditioners, you could play either. I am currently Yonah in my theatre's production of COE (I'm 13), but I've also seen her played by older teenagers.
Both Eve and Yonah require good vocal stamina, they both have multiple solos. Yonah is more of a "All sing no talk" role, but she is a sizeable one, nonetheless.
The music is written by Stephen Schwartz, and many of the songs have a rock feel to them. Definitely do not sing anything to classical. No italian arias! (XD)
May I also add that COE also has a fantastic chorus of storytellers, which are more or less like a greek chorus. There are multiple solos amongst them as well, so even if you arent eve or yonah, you will be doing a LOT.
Best of luck with your audition!
I'm Micaela. But you can call me Mickey!
Currently: Taking a much needed BREAK!
