Middle School Musical - James & the Giant Peach


Music Academy / Group Music Courses -
Winter/Spring 2026

Please DO NOT register until after auditions and roles have been assigned!  Registration will be available on Tuesday, Dec. 9 after callbacks.

Based on one of Roald Dahl’s most poignantly quirky stories, Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach JR. is a brand new take on this "masterpeach" of a tale. Featuring a wickedly tuneful score and a witty and charming book, this adventurous musical about courage and self-discovery is destined to be a classic.
When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that grows a tremendous peach, rolls into the ocean and launches a journey of enormous proportions. James befriends a collection of singing insects that ride the giant piece of fruit across the ocean, facing hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements along the way

Students should plan to stay for the whole time. If you cannot attend auditions the day they are at your middle school, you may come to audition at another school.

Students do NOT need to prepare anything for the audition. Everyone will audition with a singing excerpt that we will learn together as a group. The first audition will consist of singing and reading from the script. 
*Students are welcome to attend the audition that works best for their schedule.  Please do not register for the play until roles have been assigned!
