SUMMARY:Auditions – Gypsy
DESCRIPTION:\nOne of Broadway’s Greatest Musicals — A Tale of Dreams, Drive, and Family Widely regarded as the greatest American musical, Gypsy is a rich and rewarding show filled with iconic roles, unforgettable songs, and raw emotional power. At the center is Rose, the ultimate stage mother—bold, brash, and determined to turn her daughters into stars. But as vaudeville fades and burlesque rises, the spotlight begins to shift… and family ties are tested.\n\n\n\nWe’re looking for performers who can bring layered characters to life with honesty, presence, and passion. Strong singers and actors are encouraged to audition—this is a musical with depth, grit, and heart.\n\n\n\nAudition Dates\n\n\n\n\nSaturday, October 25 at 2:00 PM\n\n\n\nSunday, October 26 at 2:00 PM\n\n\n\n\nLocation: The Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse, 300 Brevard Ave, Cocoa, FL 32922\n\n\n\nProduction Dates: February 6 – 22, 2026\n\n\n\nAudition Preparation\n\n\n\nVocal Audition: Please prepare a Broadway-style song, limited to 1 minute or 16 bars.
