IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS SHOW FROM CHRISTINA
Due to the sung-thru nature of this show, I highly encourage everyone to treat each part of auditions the same way you would treat cold reading for a role. EVERY part is your acting audition because every part of this story is told through music and movement.
We are also interested in seeing what YOU bring to Hadestown. This production will be highly collaborative and has a concept pretty different to the original broadway production. If I can offer any advice, it would be to concentrate on the story and what it means to the character, when in doubt.
And know that as always, I’m rooting for every one of you to do your absolute best, feel great about your effort, and HAVE FUN. Otherwise, what is the point of any of this, right???
With love,
Christina
