Audition bookings for Ensemble/Principal have now been exhausted.
Choir only video submissions are still available, please use the link below to submit your audition.
You will be required to upload a video of yourself performing, please read the brief for full details.
We have had an amazing response to our auditions for Ensemble/Principal roles for The Hunchback of Notre Dame which has resulted in all of the available audition places being filled. We are very sorry for those who have missed out.
However, we have created a Waitlist allowing any interested auditionees to complete an audition form and upload their headshot and CV.
If additional spaces for auditions become available (including due to any cancellations) we will offer those spaces to people on the Waitlist.
Any additional audition spaces will not be available to the public and they will only be offered to people who have joined the Waitlist.
For those joining the Waitlist, you are welcome to include a link to a video of around 5 minutes showcasing your skills. The video may show you in a performance or may be a performance of the choir audition material. The video will not be used in lieu of an audition.
All waitlist submissions will be reviewed and confirmed by November 16th, subject to availability. We will continue to monitor the waitlist in the final week and slot as many people in as additional places become available.
We really appreciate your interest in being part of the cast of The Hunchback of Notre Dame

CASTING STATEMENT:
CLOC Musical Theatre is aiming to build a cast that celebrates diversity in every form.
We promote an inclusive environment, encouraging all to audition and welcome performers from all ethnicities, beliefs, genders, representations, ages, and sizes to apply. When applying for roles, please consider any casting requirements stated with each character description.
THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME is a show that highlights the injustices of prejudices, alienation, and marginalisation in 15th century France.
Sex, ethnicity, and gender specifications are based on how the actor is referred to within the script. The specifications do not preclude gender or culturally-diverse artists from applying. Members of the Ensemble/Congregation will double as Roma in certain scenes. Ages refer to playing age of the character rather than the age requirements of the actor.
We will be casting an ensemble (Principals, Supporting and Ensemble/Congregants) of approximately 18 strong singer/actors with contemporary/legit musical theatre voices, along with some movement abilities. We are also casting a heavily featured, onstage choir of 32 vocalists.
CLOC Musical Theatre would like to acknowledge with thanks, Conscious Casting for assisting us with our audition brief and process.
