Invitation to audition for "Come On, Get Tappy!"

About the project and the company

The “Tappy McCrackin Variety Hour” is the biggest hit show network television has ever seen. A pint-sized girl named Tappy McCrackin is the singing, dancing star of it all – but when disaster strikes the studio, right before the big show – who will help her save the day?

The score is a catchy, fun, jazzy, and heartfelt fusion of contemporary and traditional Broadway with some pop influences. The script is quirky, with the best way to describe it as Annie meets Carol Burnett meets Scooby-Doo.

Seeking non-Equity performers who are strong singers and musicians who are open to collaboration and aren’t afraid to find the funny. Not all characters need to tap. While tapping is a plus, please don’t let that deter you from auditioning! All performers need to be comfortable singing harmonies, move fairly well, and be adaptable to change as this is a new work.

We are casting 16 people (10 female presenting, 6 male presenting) for this production.
