Is there a little star lurking in your midst waiting for that big break in a major musical?

The Broadway Across Canada Search for Lulu is coming to Vancouver. Auditions for the part of the carefree and upbeat young daughter of the main character Jenna in the musical Waitress are being held on Wed., Sept. 25, 10 a.m. at the Cultch (1895 Venables).

Lulu will be cast locally in each of the week-long engagements for the show in specific Canadian markets. Two girls will share the role, each performing in four performances during the production run.

Lulu is a 4 to 5-year-old who shows up in Watress’ finale scene. Qualifications listed for the role are for young girls no shorter than 4’2 and no older than 5 years and 3 months. Individual, twins or siblings are invited to apply. The audition will include repeating two lines from the show. Parents/legal guardians are requested to bring a current headshot and resume for each child, if possible. No prior acting experience is required to audition. Register at Vancouver.Broadway.com/WaitressAuditions.  

Please note that space is limited to the first 60 applicants.

Waitress is an inspirational story of Jenna, a server and expert pie maker, who wants a way out of her small town and played out marriage. A baking contest in a neighbouring town might provide the answer, but all kinds of challenges face her. With music and lyrics by 7-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles, book by screenwriter Jessie Nelson and direction by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus, Waitress was inspired by Adrienne Shelley’s film of the same title.

Waitress opens Nov. 12 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. The show is part of the 2019/20 Broadway Across Canada season. Tickets: ticketmaster.ca, or by calling 1-855-985-5000. Group orders of 10 or more may be placed by calling 1-800-889-8457.
