Upcoming Auditions
Disney’s Finding Nemo JR. is a musical adaptation of the beloved Pixar movie Finding Nemo. Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves. Finding Nemo JR offers 34 roles of fun sea creatures plus a fabulous ensemble.
We are so excited for your interest in auditioning for Finding Nemo Jr.! Here is some important audition information to help you prepare.
