Prince and princess look-alikes, including those with and without the ability to dance, sing and perform athletically are urged to apply for the once-in-a-lifetime magical experience.

In exchange for featuring in stage shows and special events, the chosen few will receive a “competitive” salary as well as housing and a benefits package.

BRISBANE

Brisbane princesses-in-waiting, especially those who feel they could embody the roles of Moana, Tiana, Elsa and Rapunzel can audition for an opportunity at Shanghai Disney Resort on Wednesday, May 28 at 9.30am at Morningside’s Kick Dance Studio.

Hong Kong Disney is also searching for their own singers during this joint audition, specifically those from Lion King, 101 Dalmatians and an array of princesses.

But if you thought becoming a princess was the soft life, think again.

Aspiring princesses at this audition must boast a vocal range specific to their chosen character and prepare 16 bars with sheet music.

“Select songs with which you have an organic connection, telling a story that you bring to life in an honest way,” the advertisement suggests.

“Performers should be strong storytellers and demonstrate a strong and dynamic singing voice with vocal and emotional range.”

Brisbane princesses without the gift of song can try their luck at the same time and place the following day on Thursday May 29 for a look-alike casting call.

There’s a third and final opportunity for Brisbane on Saturday May 31 for those looking to relocate to Hong Kong.
