“Newsies Jr” Callbacks
Tuesday, December 6, 2022
Callbacks will be held at the
LDS Charleston Church Building located at 3450 S 3500 W (Charleston)
THANK YOU for the amazing turnout of talent we had for Newsies Jr! . We are so excited to be working with such talent for this amazing show. Callbacks do not guarantee a role and some people may not be called back who are already cast. So please check back for our official cast list that will be posted on December 10, 2022
CALLBACK TABLE: Please find your name and group name or number on the following table along with the characters you will be performing at the callbacks. Your name may appear more than once, so check carefully. Prepare the song/s you’ve been asked to sing using the TRACK WITH VOCAL. Then when you know the song, rehearse it with the AUDITION TRACK (no words) which you will perform at the callback.
Please prepare for the role you are assigned and check all lists as some kids are called back for multiple parts. You should use the materials online that are linked below, but also remember to be flexible. We will make the process as reassuring as possible. Bring a snack and water bottle.
Callbacks will end no later than 10 PM, but not everyone in the last group will stay the full time
Plan to stay until the next group starts, but be flexible to allow for early or late dismissal. You may be asked to read for parts you are not called back for.
4:00 Group #1 Sing and Read
5:15 Group #1 + Newsies Group A Dance
5:45 Newsies Group B Dance
6:15 Newsies Group C Dance
6:45 Group #2 Sing, Read and Dance
Also, please practice the dance and tap combos in the table below. All callbacks will dance, so come with the correct footwear. If you do not have tap shoes for callbacks you may wear sneakers.
- You don’t need to memorize the songs.
- You may be asked to sing more than one song.
- You may get a different role than the one you were called back for.
If you have any callback scheduling issues, please reach out to our Producer, Carolyn Robison at 801-228-8956
