Dancers/Singers Needed for "Gypsy" Musical Show

Vocal range F3 to C5 The quintessential stage mother. Lives her life vicariously through her two daughters, whom she’s put into show business. She is loud, brash, pushy and single-minded, but at times can be doting and charming. She is holding down demons of her own that she is afraid to face. Superb acting skills required along with a powerhouse Broadway belt. Minimal dance, but must move well. Comic timing a must.

Vocal range G3 to E5 The older version of Baby Louise. Must be able to transform from the mousy and awkward Louise, into the sophisticated and seductive Burlesque stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. Basic dance skills required but should be able to move well, strong acting skills needed. Must be comfortable with the character’s profession: strip tease. The character is very scantily clad but never actually appears in the nude.

Vocal range G3 to F5 The older version of Baby June. The older she gets the more frustrated with her mother’s domination she becomes. A Shirley Temple type child star. Must be able to belt a song and have strong dancing skills. The ability to do splits, high kicks, tap/jazz dance, baton twirling is a big plus, but not required.

Vocal range C3 to D4 Manager for Rose’s act and Rose’s loyal boyfriend. He has a heart of gold but also has the power to defend the people he loves with strength. Minimum dance but must move well. A baritone, strong acting role.

Vocal range C3 to G5 Boy-next-door type. Strives to break out of the troupe with an act of his own. Sings and dances “All I Need Is the Girl.” Extremely strong dancer in all styles of show dance including tap. Good singer, charming young man.

Vocal range B3 to D5 Experienced and wise burlesque performer, just past her prime. She was once a ballerina and still has some of the moves. A course “broad” who’s been around the block. Very funny. Strong movement/dance required, specialty: Ballet Stripper.

Vocal range G3 to D5 Bold and brassy trumpet playing burlesque stripper, past her prime. Tough and physically intimidating. Strong movement/dance required. Trumpet playing skills would be a plus, but not required

Vocal range B3 to D5 Ditsy and sweet burlesque stripper, past her prime. Quieter than her counterparts but her costume is wired with lights, allowing her to “shine” without working up a sweat. Basic dance skills required.
