The Hills Are Alive! The international tour of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music continues its journey around the world, delighting audiences at every stop. We’re casting for current and future replacements in both the adult company and the Von Trapp Children for the current and upcoming touring seasons. This tour has already completed prior engagements in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Mumbai, and Macao. Experience the magic and travel the world with us.

In-person callbacks will take place in New York City on June 4, 2024 for the Von Trapp Children and June 5, 2024 for Adults. If you cannot attend in-person callbacks, we’d still love for you to submit for consideration.

Project Dates:
Ongoing tour, currently traveling Mainland China prior to summer engagements in Hong Kong and Taiwan, with the final performance for Season 2 on/about July 14, 2024, with a possible extension through September 2024. Season 3 is set to begin on/about October 2024.

Markets/Territories:
Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Middle East, South Korea, Japan, and more.

Mainland China engagements are generally one week or more.

Because the tour is international, both AEA and non-AEA performers can audition.

An extra $25/week will be provided for performers with principal understudy assignments, and an extra $10/week will be provided for performers with specialty ensemble understudy assignments. Adult performers also receive a bonus of $50/performance when performing a principal understudy assignment, and minor performers will receive a bonus of $25/performance when performing a principal understudy assignment.

For Minors:
Tour provides for minor performers to each travel with one adult chaperone. Each minor performer must be accompanied by a chaperone, and both minor performer and chaperone will share double-occupancy accommodations (including internet, and breakfast for each). Additionally, the chaperone shall also receive $50/day per diem, travel, and traveler’s insurance plan, but no salary is paid to chaperone.

Education and tutoring on tour are provided by our partner, On Location Education (OLE). OLE handles administrative tasks for fulfilling local school district requirements and assigns a touring teacher to facilitate classwork with minors, accompanying the production throughout the school season.
