What To Know About This Production
Book by Thomas Meehan and Sylvester Stallone | Music By Stephen Flaherty | Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens | Based on the MGM/United Artists Motion Picture
He's not the most polished fighter in Philadelphia — but Rocky Balboa has heart, and in this city, that counts for everything. A small-time boxer scraping by on the tough streets of Philly, Rocky gets the chance of a lifetime when he is chosen as an unlikely opponent for Apollo Creed, the undefeated world heavyweight champion. As Rocky trains relentlessly for the fight of his life, he finds an unexpected connection with Adrian, a quiet and overlooked young woman searching for her own strength. Together, they discover in each other a courage neither knew they possessed.
Adapted from Sylvester Stallone's beloved Academy Award-nominated screenplay and featuring a score by Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, Rocky the Musical
is a hard-hitting yet deeply tender story of grit, determination, and the power of love. With its thrilling climactic bout and soaring emotional core, Rocky proves that the greatest victories are not always won in the ring.
Recommended for ages 13 and up
ROCKY is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
Auditions For Rocky
What To Expect At Auditions
The Milburn Stone Theatre at Cecil College is excited to announce auditions for Rocky.
Please prepare a song (approximately 32 bars, or 60–90 seconds of music) in the style of the show. Songs from the show are welcome but not required. We're looking for songs that showcase your vocal range and understanding of the style.

An accompanist will be provided for your audition, and their use is highly encouraged. If you choose not to use the provided accompanist, you must bring a backing track (without vocals) to play during your performance. Amplification will not be provided, and playing backing tracks off a cell phone (without proper additional amplification) is strongly discouraged.
Auditioning in person is strongly recommended, but if you are not available on either date of auditions you may submit a video. Video submissions must be received by Thursday, June 18 at 6:00pm. Select the "Video Audition" slot when asked to select an audition time slot.
Callbacks for Rocky will be held on Saturday, June 20, from 11am – 3pm. Callback notifications will be sent out by Thursday, June 18, at 10pm.
Rehearsals for Rocky will begin in late June. Rehearsals will be based on both performer and production staff availability, so please submit all known conflicts at the time of auditions. The Milburn Stone Theatre traditionally rehearses between 2 to 4 times a week.
Tech Rehearsals for Rocky will be held August 31, September 1, 3, 8, 9, & 10 (no rehearsals on September 2, 5, 6, and 7 in observance of Labor Day). No conflicts will be accepted during tech rehearsals.
The Milburn Stone Theatre is a community theatre on a college campus. Our productions are open to the entire community, not just Cecil College students, faculty, and staff. This production is non-paid/non-union.
All roles are available for audition. Listed ages are ranges, not requirements. While we encourage everyone to audition for any role, our Music Theatre International agreement requires all characters to be performed as originally written.
