TPAC and Lythgoe Family Give Kids Panto are pleased to announce that open auditions for Aladdin and His Winter Wish will be held at CoolSprings Galleria on National Dance Day, September 21, 2019. Judges are seeking kids ages 7-16 as well as adults ages 18-30, of all ethnicities, to take the stage alongside previously announced stars Kira Kosarin and Emmy Award-winning writer and comedic actor Bruce Vilanch. Additional stars will be announced at a later date.
The creative team for Aladdin and His Winter Wish includes newly announced choreographer Chase Benz (Step Up 2), currently on tour with American Idol’s Carrie Underwood. Previously announced Ernie Nolan (Nashville Children’s Theater) will direct.
Aladdin and His Winter Wish will run at TPAC from December 12-22. Called “magic for the holidays, a family fun ride!” (The Los Angeles Times), the star-led production blends fairytales, comedy, the holidays, dancing, contemporary songs and local and regional references to create an unforgettable theatre experience. The age-old fairytale of Aladdin is given a modern twist with pop music, from “Treasure” by Bruno Mars to Ray Charles’s “You Don’t Know Me,” magic and comedy.
Auditions for Aladdin and His Winter Wish will coincide with National Dance Day, an annual celebration that aims to promote dance as a valuable form of exercise and artistic expression. Each year since 2010, people of all ages from all parts of the country come together to learn a dance routine. Before Aladdin and His Winter Wish auditions begin on September 21, choreographer Chase Benz will hold an open class to teach this year’s NDD routine. Participants of all ages are welcome to take the free class.

It means you’ll be unable to see the entire stage from those seats.
We sell these seats because for many fans the limited view is not a problem, and the tickets are clearly labeled at time of purchase (see photo below). Limited view seating varies event to event and could be something as small as a tiny corner of the stage being blocked from view. Call our box office at 615-782-4040 for additional information on limited view seating.
Seats marked with “Limited View” during purchase path
Many shows impose ticket limits to allow as many people as possible to have equal access to seats. This is done as a deterrent to third party vendors, i.e. scalpers, who may purchase large blocks of seats and then resell them online at an inflated cost. The term “household” refers to any shared information on one or more accounts. This includes, but may not be limited to matching names, mailing and billing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and credit card numbers. Any households that purchase more than the allowed number of tickets may have their order(s) refunded without notice.
