Dubai Parks and Resorts, set to be the region’s largest integrated theme park destination upon opening in October 2016, has announced its audition plans to recruit more than 400 performers to be part of its inaugural entertainment cast.
Auditions will be held throughout January and February and artists across the MENA region are invited for selecting street performers, singers, dancers, actors, puppeteers and trampolinists.
The audition tour – which will take place in several continents, will start in the Middle East in Lebanon from late January before traveling to Egypt, Morocco and the UAE. It will also be visiting the UK and Australia in search of some of the best talent that the world has to offer. Details are available at dprauditions.com
Jason Ramsburg, Director of Live Entertainment at Dubai Parks and Resorts, said, “With less than a year to go until opening we are now focused on bringing to life the many entertainment offerings that Dubai Parks and Resorts has to offer and are excited to be announcing our audition tour.”
Dubai Parks and Resorts will feature motiongate™ Dubai – a unique theme park showcasing some of Hollywood’s most beloved characters from DreamWorks Animation, Sony Pictures Studios and Lionsgate as well as the region’s first LEGOLAND® Park and a LEGOLAND® Water Park. Dubai Parks and Resorts will also feature Bollywood Parks™ Dubai, the first ever theme park based on the sights and sounds of Bollywood. The theme park will include the Lapita™ Hotel, a Polynesian-themed resort catering to families.
The entire destination will be connected by Riverland™ Dubai – a retail, dining and entertainment walkway which is slated to open in April 2016. Dubai Parks and Resorts is located on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road near Jebel Ali.
