Isabel, a world premiere musical written by Dr. James Burke (former faculty member of the UL-Lafayette School of Music) will be presented by the UL-Lafayette School of music later this summer. The show is based on Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. The show will be done in a semi-staged version and conducted by Gerald Guilbeaux and directed by Shawn Roy, with script revisions by Cody Daigle.
Auditions will be held on May 29 with callbacks on the 30th and it is a rather large cast. Auditioners should be prepared to sing an entire song (in English)--they may chose from opera, operetta or musical theatre. Those who chose to sing a musical theatre selection should be aware that the music in the show is reminiscent of older style productions, like those written by Irving Berlin or Cole Perter, and chose accordingly. They should also be prepared for cold-readings.
Additional information on the location and times of the audition will be provided as it becomes available.
The only performance will be in Angelle Hall on Sunday, July 26 at 3pm.
