Mario Lopez and Menudo Productions
announced the start of the online auditions for the new Menudo. Lopez announced
Menudo's "A New Beginning" talent search for the first five members
of the new Menudo last month. The 90-second video announcement by Lopez was
posted on all of Menudo's social media channels with instructions on how to
access Menudo's audition App. The App goes live at 11:11 AM EST today
(08/09/2022).
Menudo's audition App enables
performers to sing up to 3 songs from a selection of 20 backing tracks of
English, and Spanish language hit songs by iconic artists.
The App also allows contestants to
sing one original song and requires each to dance to at least one song. All
performers must be between 12 and 16 and have consent from a parent or legal
guardian. Menudo Productions will donate a portion of the $25 entrance fee to
support multiple charities.
Mario Lopez said: "I am beyond
excited to begin the process of identifying the most talented performers from
all over the world to form the most iconic Latin boy band in
history."
Menudo Productions will be judging
the auditions daily and posting select auditions weekly on Menudo's social
media channels for fan response. Lopez will also host a weekly highlight video
spotlighting some of the week's best auditions. The App, which was developed
and is supported by Heartout.io, a Miami-based technology company, is available
by going to www.menudo.com.
The best talent from the online
auditions will be invited to attend the live auditions starting in San Juan,
Puerto Rico, on September 17.
Fans are encouraged to register at
menudo.com and follow Menudo's social media channels to participate in the
audition process. Potential talent can also go to www.menudo.com to download the App to submit their
audition today. All 20 backing tracks can be heard on the album "A New
Beginning (Official Audition Tracks 2022)", currently available on
Spotify, Apple, and all other major streaming platforms.
