Video: Cast Audition Medley Part 2

Spring Awakening Tour: Audition Cut Medley - Part 2

It's Part 2 of our video from the Spring It On Rochester cabaret. Both Christy Altomare and Kimiko Glenn auditioned with a rendition of "River" by Jonie Mitchell while Taylor Trensch keeps it in the SA family of tunes with "Left Behind." Krystina Alabado takes it back to contemporary with Michelle Branch's "Everywhere" and Ben Fankhauser sings "On The Way Down" by Ryan Cabrera and Steffi D ends the medley with a song from a fellow Canadian, "Angel", by Sarah McLachlan. Leave comments below, and if you've ever auditioned for Spring Awakening before, let the community know what song you chose. Enjoy!

Isn't Ben's song "On the Way Down" by Ryan Cabrera not "All the Way Down"? The lyrics match the first song but not the second one

Anonymous--we're not organizing the non-union tour, but no doubt they will post an audition announcement and when they do, we'll re-post it here.

Pun (blog admin) said...

Trisha--you're so right! Oops! Thanks so much. I'm editing the post now.

aww...so you're not going to be managing the website for the non-union tour, pun? :(
and i assume michael mayer isn't going to direct it either...?

Pun (blog admin) said...

It depends on whether they want to keep the same marketing team, Anonymous. They havn't decided anything yet. You're right, Michael will not be directing--as a union director, he would not be able to--they may pay him a fee to license his staging and hire someone else to implement it, or we may very well see an entirely new take on the show we love so much--which is also kinda exciting. I have no idea, but I'm sure the show will be in good hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How can I send fan mail to the cast?

If you just want to send a quick note to all the cast members telling them you appreciate their work, you can email us here at totallytruckedblog (at) gmail (dot) com. I will be happy to forward your email to the cast, but to preserve their privacy, it is unlikely they will email you back (I will, though).

You can also send individual performers fan mail and care packages care of the theatre at which we are currently performing or will be performing. Go to the theatre's website (listed above), find their mailing address, write the actor's name as well as "Spring Awakening" and send c/o the theatre. Remember, we are often at these theatres for only a week so make sure to allow for delivery times. It's a better bet to send it to the theatre we will be going to next as they can always hold packages for us until we arrive. Letters received late will not be forwarded to our next location.

2. How Can I Audition for Spring Awakening?
From time to time, we have open calls in larger cities across the US. We will post any additional open calls here. Subscribe if you havn't already to keep informed. In the meantime, we've made it easy for you to submit yourself singing a folk/alternative rock song on video. Go to: http://www.springawakening.com/videoauditionsubmission/ Make sure your submission is less than 500 MB and is one of the accepted formats. Your screen should change and you should get a confirmation that says your submission has been received. Trust us, people are called in this way. Lucas Wells was cast because of an online submission!


3. How Do I Score On Stage Seats?
That is really up to the individual theatres. Most of them won't release the seats until just before performances because they want to make sure the house is sold first. Some do so online, although the ticketing systems they have in place often can't accommodate our unique seats onstage. Most of them are available only at the box office (though you can purchase them for a performance in the future). The Guilty Ones Street Team members have the rights to purchase these seats before the general public. Any seats left over will be released to the box office and may also be purchased as part of rush tickets (discounted, day-of tickets).

4. How Do I Join The Guilty Ones?

The National Guilty Ones Street Team is a way for fans of the show in each of our tour stops to help us spread the word. You will get access to parties, meet and greets, and other special events while meeting new friends who share your passion for the show, all while gaining some valuable marketing experience. You must be at least 15 yrs old. Email your contact info to nationalguiltyones (at) gmail (dot) com.

5. Can I Get Discounts?

From time to time, a theatre may offer us discounts to send out to our fans. We will post any here on the blog. Subscribe now!

6. Who runs this site? This site was created for fans to stay connected with our touring cast and follow their adventures around North America. Ideally, it would be in the voice of the cast members. Unfortunately, our cast members are often too tired or busy to post lengthy blog posts on a regular basis. Company members will contribute a post from time to time and every month we will have a compiled blog post that most every company member will participate in. The other stuff like updates, etc, will be posted by me. My name is Pun. I work for the production, love this show, its cast, and our fans, and I'm so very glad you're here!
