Think you’ve got what it takes to be “one singular sensation”? The Ahmanson Theatre is holding a contest to promote its upcoming production of “A Chorus Line.” Details here:
Be L.A.’s Next SINGULAR SENSATION!
Ever Thought to Yourself, “I CAN DO THAT?”
Now’s Your Chance to Prove It.
“A Chorus Line” Online Talent Competition Now Available for Entries.
As the new national tour of the critically acclaimed production of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical “A Chorus Line” makes its way to Los Angeles, arriving at the Ahmanson Theatre May 21, the tour producers and Center Theatre Group have announced the “Be the One” online talent competition, which is now in progress.
To “Be the One,” L.A.’s “Singular Sensation,” visit the following website: www.CenterTheatreGroup.org/audition. On the site, one can create an online audition profile, including video clips, photos, or a blog about why you deserve to “Be the One.” The top 17 vote getters from the greater L.A. area will be invited to a live callback on Saturday, June 7 at Citadel Outlets on the I-5, just outside of downtown L.A.
At the live event, four men and four women will win a “Be the One” prize package which includes tickets to “A Chorus Line” at the Ahmanson Theatre and more.
These eight finalists will then be entered into the next round of contesting to compete against finalists from other cities on the “A Chorus Line” tour for the National Grand Prize: a trip to New York City including airfare and hotel accommodations, tickets to Broadway shows, backstage tours, show merchandise, meet and greets and more. Plus, one individual will be crowned “L.A.’s Singular Sensation,” winning the local grand prize of $500.
Judges at the June 7 Citadel Outlets event will include Kay Cole (Maggie in the original Broadway production of “A Chorus Line”), Valarie Pettiford and Jane Lanier (both Tony Award nominees for their performances in the Broadway production of “Fosse”), Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Melissa Manchester, and Claudia Cagan (talent coordinator for E! Entertainment Television).
