Hamilton Theatre Inc. is gearing up for its presentation of Jekyll and Hyde, The Musical, and local actors are invited to read for parts.

Vocal auditions are slated to take place Thursday, August 21 and Friday, August 22 from 6 to 9 p.m., while movement auditions take place Saturday, August 23 (scheduled during vocal auditions).

The callback date will be Saturday, August 23 (afternoon and evening).

Jekyll and Hyde, The Musical was conceived for the stage by Steve Cuden and Frank Wildhorn. Wildhorn also composed the music, while Leslie Bricusse wrote the book and lyrics.

The HTI production will be directed by Matthew Moore and co-produced by Jared Lenover and Wes Fletcher. Actors will be required for five principal roles (three males, two females) as well as nine additional roles. There will also be up to 10 additional ensemble roles.

HTI is also looking for people to help with tech and production. Those interested should contact the show's producers at 905-975-5294 or producers@hamiltontheatre.com, or attend one of the audition dates listed. Volunteers will be required for box office, program design, promotions, props, rehearsal pianist, script assistant duties, and more.
