Lord of the Rings 2025 Casting
Below is our current Performance Casting Rotation. The Casting Rotation is subject to change based on responses to the Casting Confirmation Form.
Alternates are critically important as it is common to lose a performer on any given night to unexpected illness or other emergencies. Alternates will not perform in the show to which they are assigned unless there is an absence in the cast roster for that evening. Alternates must remain available to perform in the show they are assigned up until 1 hour before our call time each evening. They do not need to be at the venue unless they are called to perform.
Casting Rotation Key:
YES: Chorister is available and cast for that show
Y-ALT: Chorister is available and cast as an alternate for that show
OFF: Chorister is available, but is NOT cast for that show
N/A: Chorister is NOT available and NOT cast for that show
Please scroll to find your name.
