SYNOPSIS
It’s Melbourne, today, and it’s Teresa’s last roll of the dream dice. Having spent well over a decade devoted to the single goal of headlining a major Australian musical, she’s tired of being the runner-up, forever consigned to under-studying the first-place-getter. It doesn’t help that an ACL injury, suffered 6 years ago, gives the industry an easy reason to The thing is, this audition will be like no other, and the end-result is going to turn everything she thinks she knows about the business, and herself, completely on its head!
LISTEN & LYRICS VIDEO:
The Audition had its World Premiere in Hobart, Tasmania, in July 25 (staged by John X presents …)
PRAISE FOR THE AUDITION:
“A very funny, hugely tuneful, and thoroughly entertaining show – one that deserved a wider audience beyond its island try-out.”
“Rowe is a witty, syllable-packing lyricist with a gift for toe-tapping, memorable tunes. He’s a sharp crafter of plot, and he writes a great – great! – one-liner.”
