Casting Call for “Guys And Dolls” Show

Audition song #25 “Luck Be a Lady”, callback song #17a “I’ve Never Been in Love Before” with Sarah. A charming and self-assured gambler. Sky is able to adapt to any situation but ready to reel off prepared anecdotes regarding his view of the world. Despite his failings, Sky is immensely likeable and oozes style. His character goes through a considerable transformation during the show. A strong baritone singer.

Callback song #27 “Sue Me” with Adelaide. A feckless and humorous manipulator, Nathan is the facilitator of illegal gambling in town. He maintains a distance by acting only as a broker, seldom a gambler. A consummate businessman with divided loyalties; he pacifies his fiancé Adelaide with vague promises of a marriage ‘some time’ in the future. He is always waiting for his big break which never seems to come. Comic timing is a must. “Sue Me” is his one big song. Baritone.

Audition song #28 Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat.” Callback song #10 “Guys and Dolls” with Benny. An eccentric gambler and one of Nathan’s closest associates who helps him set up the crap games. Comic timing is a must. Strong tenor singer.

Callback song #10 “Guys and Dolls” with Nicely. He is a gambler and one of Nathan’s primary associates. Strong Baritone singer.

He is the older, wiser leader of the Salvation Army in Times Square. He is a reasoned old man with a warm heart that harbors only the kindest intentions, even if he tends to be a little gullible. Family to Sarah Brown. Choral singing only (his solo has been cut).

He is a tough, by-the-book policeman engaged in what he perceives to be a battle of wits with Nathan to stop the craps game. This is primarily an acting role. Comic timing and acting ability are essential.

A variety of men. Only Rusty Charlie has solo singing (in a trio “Fugue for Tinhorns). Big Jule is an intimidating hustler from Chicago, temperamental and a sore loser. Harry the Horse, Angie the Ox, and others. Lots of ensemble singing. The ability to dance/move is a big plus but not essential. Mission Band members. Choral singing only.

Audition song #15 “If I Were a Bell”, callback song #17a “I’ve Never Been in Love Before” with Sky. An idealistic but sheltered missionary, Sarah is kind- hearted but too categorical in her view of the world. She learns she has an adventurous side and goes through character changes over the course of the show. Must feel comfortable with classic musical theatre singing as well as jazz. Very strong soprano voice needed.

Audition song #8 “Adelaide’s Lament”, callback song “#27 “Sue Me” with Nathan. A strongly comic and classic show girl. A club singer and Nathan’s longsuffering fiancée, Adelaide is not always the brightest. Weary of the disruption Nathan’s involvement in the craps game causes to their relationship, she longs for quiet family life away from New York. Comic timing a must, good dancing ability is a plus.

The regional director of the Save-a-Soul mission, she is authoritative through necessity but motivated by charity. She cuts loose in the song “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat.”

Very good dancers needed.

Choral singing only.
