OPEN AUDITIONS: ASSASSINS
Wellington Footlights is excited to announce auditions for Assassins, the bold and compelling musical by Stephen Sondheim (music and lyrics) and John Weidman (book).
This darkly humorous semi-revue depicts nine misfit men and women who tried, successfully and unsuccessfully, to kill American Presidents. Through centuries of history and decades of musical styles, Assassins explores what their presence in American history says about the ideals of their country.

OUR SHOWS
The Wellington Footlights Society is dedicated to producing musical theatre productions of a consistently high standard. We are often interested in producing shows that are internationally renowned, but have rarely or never been produced on stage in Wellington, and musical revues that bring together a range of classic and contemporary music united by a common theme.
