The casting team of Dear Evan Hansen are searching for the next generation of talent to appear in the first tour of the musical.
Performers with or without formal training can apply for any role in the show. Those interested are invited to upload a video on TikTok singing any number from the production with the hashtag #YouWillBeFound before submitting their entry at the Evan on Tour web site.
The casting team will review all submitted videos and invite anyone who they feel could be part of the cast to take part in a formal audition at a central London location. Video applications are open until Sunday 11 February. Entrants must be at least 18 and be based in the UK or Ireland.
Nottingham Playhouse artistic director Adam Penford who will direct the show said, “Dear Evan Hansen is about celebrating what you bring to the world as a unique individual. It’s very exciting to be collaborating with TikTok to provide a platform for those who love the musical as much as I do to sing these beautiful songs. We can’t wait to see who’s out there.”
Dear Evan Hansen will open at Nottingham Playhouse on 9 September before going on a UK tour.
