"The Drowsy Chaperone" Play Seeking Cast

Tyler, TX, United States
ID: 251667Exp: 12/5/2023
Description:

Maloe and female talent are needed for "The Drowsy Chaperone" show. Please see the details below. About the project: Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Golden Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another. With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight. Additional info: WHEN WILL REHEARSALS BE HELD? Rehearsals will begin Monday, December 11th and will generally run Monday-Friday 6:30-9 PM. Adjustments may be made according to the needs of the cast. WHAT DATES WILL THE SHOW RUN? Production dates are February 9-11, February 15-18, and February 22-25, 2024. **Please bring any known scheduling conflicts to your audition. ** Those auditioning are asked to prepare 16 measures of a Broadway/Jazz style song to be sung with recorded accompaniment. A sound system will be available for the playing of background tracks, but there will not be an accompanist available. A Capella Auditions will not be allowed. Please be prepared for “cold readings” from the script and dress for movement (no jeans, sandals, flip flops, etc.) as there will be a short dance combination taught as part of the audition. Apply, if interested.
