Junior Cast Production (7 to 14 yrs)

Disney’s CAMP ROCK The musical

**A BBEXP FIRST!**
July 2021 will see the Beyond Broadway Experience produce, for the very first time, a full musical just for our 7 to 14 year old performers! An outrageously good production – Disney’s CAMP ROCK The Musical.

Based on the hit Disney Channel movies, two bands battle it out in a rockin’ summer they will never forget.

Disney’s Camp Rock The Musical is a combination of The Disney Channel’s Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam and is set to fire up the stage with over a dozen songs, including “This Is Me,” “Can’t Back Down,” “It’s On” and “We Rock.”

A classic story of rivalry and power, Disney’s Camp Rock The Musical opens with Mitchie and her friends arriving at Camp Rock, ready to spend another summer jamming out and having the time of their lives. But the new, flashy Camp Star across the lake now threatens Camp Rock’s very existence. To keep the doors open, Mitchie steps up, rallies her fellow Camp Rockers and gets them into top shape for the ultimate showdown!

Disney’s Camp Rock The Musical features a large ensemble cast with many featured roles and we are calling all singers, actors, dancers and triple threats as we have the opportunity for everyone to shine in this high-energy show!

The age range for Junior Cast participants is between 7 and 14.

Disney’s Camp Rock The Musical will rehearse from 10th July to 22nd July between 10am and 4pm (except Sundays) and will then be fully produced and performed for our professional film crew with the final production available for purchase on USB as a keepsake.

Participants will get to work with our professional Creative Team and Film Crew, and also take away a free and exclusive cast t-shirt as a souvenir!

What does BBE involve?

Regardless of which summer production you want to take part in, you will need to be available to rehearse in Edinburgh during your summer holidays for the full, supercharged two-week process starting on Saturday 10th July, culminating in the filmed performance.

You will need to complete the application process, including paying a £10* audition administration fee, and – if you accept an offer to participate – pay your participation fee**.

If you are age 12, 13 or 14, you can audition for both productions if you so wish. Though you cannot be in both shows, you may well be able to choose between them if you are accepted into both casts. You will either be amongst the most experienced in the Junior Cast or the least experienced in the Senior Cast! You must pay an audition fee for each audition you want to attend.

The participation fee** for The Beyond Broadway Experience in 2021 is £275
A discount of 25% on participation fees is available to siblings

How do the fees work and where does the money go?

We don’t want this project to be accessible only by the fortunate few youngsters who have a financial advantage and so have kept the cost to an absolute minimum. Looking at other projects that are on offer during the school holidays we have managed to keep the price for two full weeks of rehearsals and performances to the very minimum. Having the use of beautiful professional venues is expensive and we also need to cover the rights to the shows we produce. We must then employ a professional creative team including directors, choreographers, musical directors, musicians, lighting and sound designers, set builders and artists, costume coordinators and graphic designers. We also have professional vocal coaches, accent tutors and acting teachers on hand to help our cast be the best that they can possibly be. And not forgetting pastoral care for our young cast, through dedicated chaperones and supervisors. We also have to hire rehearsal rooms… the list goes on and on! To ensure that those taking part in our project have an experience unlike anything else on offer we also fly in fabulous guests to support us! In previous years we’ve had West End and Broadway stars working with the cast, London Casting Agents help at auditions and TV personalities pop in to support us.

The cost for one full two-week programme is £275 in 2021*
plus non-refundable administration fee of £10 per audition.** Audition and participation fees are non-refundable, under any circumstances.

* Due by Friday 25th September 2020 (Broadway Bound concert) or Friday 3nd December 2020 (Camp Rock / Zanna, Don’t) after offer to participate. This is non-refundable under any circumstances and payment accepts your place in the cast of the show. Initial offers to take part in the project will be sent after the first-round auditions at which point you need to confirm your participation. We will then invite selected people from those who have confirmed their participation to audition for specific roles if we think they are suitable. As this project is about teamwork and the ensemble nature of musical theatre, we are not interested in working with young people who only want to participate if they are cast as principal roles. The value of participation does not lie in what role you take within the process. We do not therefore invite applicants to recall auditions until they have committed to the project. Please also note that following on from the 2020 crisis, we reserve the right adapt our rehearsal process and performance medium to conform to any future government restrictions without obligation to offer any refunds whatsoever of fees paid.

** Due on application. Why are we charging an audition administration fee? The administration and staffing costs of our auditions are large and are dependent on how many people we think are turning up to the audition. If we don’t have everyone show up who said they would then we have lots of extra staff and studios not being used throughout the day, which wastes money we could have allocated to more fun things like costumes, props and set. The audition fee is non-refundable under any circumstances.
