AMOUR

by Michel Legrand, Didier van Cauwelaert and Jeremy Sams

Produced by TheatreLab Dayton

Directed and choreographed by Joe Deer

Music Direction by Jeffrey Powell

 

TheatreLab Dayton is thrilled to announce auditions for Michel Legrand’s AMOUR — a charming musical about a meek clerk who finds one day that he can walk through walls, and the humor, adventure and romance that discovery unlocks! The ensemble of nine will play multiple roles throughout. It is a vocally demanding and lush score (sung-through). 

This is a NON-AEA production. Performers will be contracted and receive a stipend.
