Broadway Contest
Have you ever dreamed of switching from a Broadway ticket buyer to a Broadway performer? Well, now is your chance.
Universal CityWalk is partnering with the musical “Wicked” for the program appropriately titled, “Wannabe Wicked.” It’s all part of the “Summer Block Party” entertainment series.
Now this isn’t for some tone deaf American Idol wannabe. This is for someone who really has some performing chops. Contestants must turn in a video performance of one of five songs: “Popular,” “Defying Gravity,” “Dancing Through Life,” “For Good” or “The Wizard and I.”
These online auditions will be judged every week by a series of professional judges. They will rate the performances based on vocal quality, performance delivery, vocal accuracy, and overall performance. They will narrow the performers down to ten finalists.
The next phase of the contest will entail live performing. Each of the finalists will sing in front of a live Universal CityWalk audience starting on July 2nd, running at various times through August.
The winner of the contest will be chosen on August 20th. They will then receive an opportunity to be a walk-on in “Wicked” as their prize.
Anyone is free to try-out. There is a $10 processing fee to submit your online performance audition. You must submit your audition by June 5th.
So if you’ve dreamed of being on the big stage in NY, now is your chance. Grab your video camera, do some vocal exercises, and show the world what you’ve got.
