.
Those looking to be the next Broadway star need to look no further than the Yellow Brick Road. The Harold Arlen Foundation is sponsoring a nationwide talent search to Be The Next Dorothy, which will be held exclusively at General Growth Properties (GGP) malls.
If you are between the ages of 16-21 and can sing and act, then this is your chance to be cast in the musical, "WiZaRD," which opens at New York City's Jazz at Lincoln Center in December 2010. The musical, "WiZaRD," was created, written and directed by singer/crooner George Bugatti and is produced by the Harold Arlen Foundation.
This national, grassroots competition will be held exclusively at 11 of GGP's shopping centers across the country. Be The Next Dorothy kicks off at Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California on Saturday, July 31st and the winners will be announced on September 3rd at the South Street Seaport in New York City.

Additional audition cities include: Las Vegas (Fashion Show); Denver (Park Meadows); Dallas (Stonebriar Centre); Chicago (Northbrook Court); St Louis (Saint Louis Galleria); Atlanta (North Point Mall); Jacksonville (Regency Square Mall); Boston (Natick Collection); New Jersey (Paramus Park); and New York City (South Street Seaport), where the final auditions will be held. Tony nominee producer Tom Gregory (Guys & Dolls) will emcee all 11 auditions. See below for tour dates.
It's personal for Sam Arlen, son of the legendary Wizard of Oz composer, as to why he is co-producing this talent search and the forthcoming New York show. "We wanted to create a wholesome family contest and a show that would give us all a break from what seems to be a relentless assault on our innocence, just like my father did as composer of "The Wizard of Oz.'"
