When we first began developing this project, we made a decision to make this musical as “lean” as possible; a minimalist approach. We didn’t want the cast to spend much time rehearsing. We asked ourselves:

Is there a way to create a musical without all the time and effort it normally requires? Is there a simpler way to get it on stage?

We believe so!

The Man Who Saw Heaven is a hybrid between a MUSICAL and a CONCERT. The advantage of this “hybrid” approach is those involved do not have to be as involved (time wise) as a normal musical would demand.

What does that look like?

PHASE ONE: Auditioning & Casting. We are currently inviting anyone interested to audition.
PHASE TWO: Studio Recording. Cast members will be invited to the studio to record vocals for the album. This will be done one at a time.
PHASE THREE: Rehearsing. Although choreography will be at a minimum, there are still a few things to rehears. We will be asking cast members to attend (maybe) one rehearsal per week (depending on your role: some will be less). The “rehearsal phase” will take place from September through October. We will be accommodating and flexible with everyone’s schedule. We understand that each person has a life, family, and commitments outside of this project. However, we expect everyone to try their hardest to be at every rehearsal.

We do not want talented individuals to turn away from auditioning because they’re afraid of any future time commitment. If you are interested in participating, but are hesitant to commit, AUDITION ANYWAY. We will work with your schedule. We plan on double-casting, so if you can’t make it to a performance, we will have a back-up ready to fill your spot.
