Singing Auditions for "Guys and Dolls" Show
The company is holding auditions for "Guys and Dolls" show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Guys and Dolls is a musical romantic comedy involving the unlikeliest of Manhattan pairings: a high-rolling gambler and a puritanical missionary, a showgirl dreaming of the straight-and-narrow and a crap game manager who is anything but. Set in the Manhattan of Damon Runyon’s short stories, Guys and Dolls tells of Nathan Detroit’s efforts to find new life for his illegal, but notorious, crap game. When their trusty venue is found out by the police, Nathan has to find a new home for his crap game quickly - but he doesn’t have the dough to secure the one location he finds. Enter Sky Masterson, a high-rolling gambler willing to take on any honest bet with a high enough reward attached. Nathan bets Sky that he can’t take the “doll” of Nathan’s choosing to Havana, Cuba, with him on a date. When Sky agrees to the bet, Nathan chooses uptight Evangelist Sergeant Sarah Brown, head of Broadway’s Save-a-Soul Mission. Sky thinks he’s been duped, but he’s in for even more of a surprise when his efforts to woo Sarah are so successful that he falls in love with her himself! Guys and Dolls takes us from the bustle of Times Square to the dance clubs of Havana to the sewers of New York City as it demonstrates the great lengths to which a guy will go when he truly falls in love with a “doll.” Guys and Dolls features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including the hilarious “Adelaide’s Lament,” the romantic “I’ve Never Been in Love Before,” the exuberant “If I Were a Bell,” and the classic “Luck Be a Lady.” Additional info: Rehearsals will be held starting the end of March. as follows: Sundays 6:30-9:30, Mondays 6:30-9:30 & Thursdays 6:30-9:30.

20 roles
Male Presenting: (Vocal Range D4-B5) Just like his name suggests, he is the nicest of the gamblers. High-spirited and a bit naive, but sincere and genuine. He has fantastic comic timing and is naturally funny. Nathan’s loyal friend and lackey.
(Vocal Range D4-G5) Nathan’s right-hand man and a gambler himself. Smart, slick, always able to read a situation and adapt to what he thinks are Nathan’s best interest at heart.
(Vocal Range B3-G5): Sarah Brown is the “girl next door” with an adventurous side that’s waiting to escape. She is gently authoritative, the mirror opposite of Sky. Sky is her weakness. Sarah is about substance as much as Sky is about style. She should be an excellent actress as well as singer, and must be able to show two distinct sides of herself.
Male Presenting, (Vocal Range D4-F5): Sarah’s grandfather, Kind gentleman who listens well and has a wonderful relationship with all, especially Sarah.
Male Presenting, (Vocal Range F3-G5) A gambler. He is a tough guy with dollar signs as his bottom line. Brings Big Jule into Nathan’s craps game and backs him cheating. However ,he is also a man of his word in the gambling community
Male Presenting, (Speaking): A New York police officer who is on to Nathan’s illegal craps games and is dead-set on catching him. A tough, no-nonsense character. Plays the patsy and is outwitted by the Gamblers.
Male Presenting, (Vocal Range D4-F5): A good-hearted gambler and craps game organizer who could never hit the bigtime. He loves Adelaide, but cannot quit his gambling ways. A broke schemer who loves Adelaide and really does want to marry her. Good timing- big presence on stage but not a cartoon character.
Female Presenting, (Vocal Range A3-E5): Nathan’s fiancé́ and a lead performer at the Hot Box nightclub. She loves Nathan more than anything in the world and desperately wants to get married. Pretty, outspoken, stubborn. May appear dim witted but Adelaide is always improving herself and sometimes is “dumb like a fox!”
Male Presenting, (Vocal Range B3-E5): A high-stakes gambler whose luck never seems to run out, and a wild card who surprises himself when he falls in love with missionary Sarah Brown. Suave, smart, handsome, confident and very interesting. If he had an honest job he would be a powerhouse!
