EMOJILAND THE MUSICAL announces National Tour

Visceral Entertainment have announced that after a critically acclaimed Off-Broadway run in 2020, EMOJILAND is launching a national tour in Summer 2022, with cities, theaters and dates to be announced soon.

The show’s creators will take a unique approach to finding the touring cast: through a nationwide social media campaign, seeking out undiscovered talent from across the country, and open- ing all roles to all performers, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, or experience level.

The audition process begins immediately, with submissions now open until 27 March. Performers wishing to apply should go to Emojiland.com for eligibility requirements, audition materials and submission instructions. Those auditioning will post their audition video on the social media channel of their choice, and then upload their video link with their application at Emojiland.com. Following the first submission period, the show’s creative team will narrow down the prospective performers through multiple online audition rounds, culminating in the finalists getting flown to New York City by the producers for their final callback.

Not to be confused with, and very much unlike “The Emoji Movie,” EMOJILAND is an electric ensemble piece inspired by The Unicode® Standard, about a diverse community of archetypes who take one another at face value: a smiling face dealing with depression; a princess who doesn’t want a prince; a skull dying for deletion; a nerd face too smart for their own good; a face with sunglasses who can’t see past their own reflection; and a police officer and construction worker who just want to work together. When a software update threatens to destroy life as they know it, Emojiland faces the most fundamental questions a society – and a heart – can face: Who are we? And who matters?

EMOJILAND’s music and orchestrations are by Keith Harrison Dworkin, and book & lyrics are by Keith Harrison Dworkin & Laura Schein. The musical is directed by Thomas Caruso, with choreography by Kenny Ingram. The creative team also includes David Goldstein (Set Design), Vanessa Leuck (Costume & Make-Up Design), Jamie Roderick (Lighting Design), Ken Good- win (Sound Design), Lisa Renkel & Possible (Projection Design), Lena Ga- brielle (Music Supervision), and Nick Wilders (Musical Director).

The Original Cast Recording of EMOJILAND is available now at BroadwayRecords.com.
