Audition For Singing in "Oklahoma"

Curly is a cowboy who has fallen head over heels for Aunt Eller’s niece, Laurey Williams. He should be a strong singer/actor and a good mover. Though Curly is a tough-talking Territory cowman, he has a sensitive side and deep sense of loyalty and moral consciousness. (Baritone)

Aunt Eller is Laurey’s aunt – a no-nonsense lady who is a well-respected member of the community. Aunt Eller should be a good actor with a solid sense of character. It’s okay if Aunt Eller isn’t an experienced dancer – she’s supposed to be an older character and often sits the dances out. It’s more important to find an actress who can use her physicality to add realism to the character. (Mezzo-soprano)

Laurey is the independent, strong-willed niece of Aunt Eller. She should sing well and be a strong actor and dancer. Though Laurey has an air of confidence, she is not without vulnerability. It is very important that this aspect comes across, or the character can seem cold. (Soprano)

Fresh back from a steer-roping competition in Kansas City, Will Parker is a happy-go-lucky frontiersman who is in love with Ado Annie. He should be a strong singer, dancer, and actor with great comedic timing. (Tenor)

One of Aunt Eller’s farmhands, Jud has his eye on Laurey and is angry when she doesn’t return his affections. He doesn’t need to be a strong singer or dancer, but he should be a strong actor able to portray a mysterious and somewhat dangerous loner. (Baritone)

A flirtatious, gullible young lady, Ado Annie always has the best of intentions (but isn’t always able to stick to them). She should be a young actress with a lot of energy and personality. She should be a good singer, actor, and mover with great comedic timing. (Soprano)

A smooth-talking, charismatic Persian peddler, Ali Hakim runs into some trouble with the flirtatious Ado Annie. He should be a strong character actor who oozes charm and has a good sense of comedic timing.

Gertie is Laurey’s rival for Curly’s affections and is most identifiable by her distinctive laugh. Gertie should be a strong actor with an air of self-confidence and a unique laugh! (Alto or soprano)

Ado Annie's father and the local judge, he hunts rabbits and usually has his shotgun at the ready. (Tenor)
