Marlin – Open to Year 2

Marlin has the largest speaking and singing role in Finding Nemo Kids. He links all parts of the story together alongside his trusty companion, Dory.

An anxious clownfish and Nemo’s overprotective father who prefers the safety of his anemone to the frightening unknowns of the open ocean.

As he travels across the sea in search of Nemo, Marlin develops the courage to face the unpredictable ocean and the wisdom to trust others – including his own kid.

Dory – Open to Year 1 & Year 2

An optimistic and bubbly blue tang, experiences frequent short-term memory loss and finds herself wandering through the ocean with no place to call home.

Sparking friendships with whomever she meets, Dory immediately offers to help Marlin find his lost child, and the two set out on an adventurous journey through the ocean.

Along the way, Dory’s kindness and bright spirit ease Marlin’s fears, and the unlikely duo finds comfort and family in each other. Look for a performer with great charisma and a stage presence that can light up a room.

Nemo – Open to Year 1 – Year 2

A curious young clownfish who brims with excitement to explore the wonders that lie beyond the Great Barrier Reef.

Born with a “lucky fin” – or what humans would call a limb difference – Nemo quickly learns that the world possesses incredible dangers in addition to the promise of big adventures.

By making new friends, finding strength within, and practicing teamwork, Nemo transforms into a capable and brave leader, able to self-advocate and take on challenges big and small.

Bruce – Open to Year 1 – Year 2

An intimidating great white shark, is the sharks’ ringleader.

Despite Bruce’s best efforts to adopt a vegetarian diet, Bruce loses control and is sent into a frenzy, threatening to devour every fish in sight.

Crush – Open to Year 1 – Year 2

Righteously mellow Sea Turtle featured in “Go With the Flow.” A 150-year-old sea turtle who knows how to hang loose, teaches Marlin a thing or two about being a good parent.

We are look for a strong singer who can confidently belt “Go With the Flow” to make it a truly radical jam.
