Singing Audition for "Brigadoon" Musical Show

Tenor/Baritone. A New Yorker on a trip hunting game in Scotland. He has everything: he’s engaged to the right woman back home and has a successful, practical job. Yet he’s not happy. He’s a dreamer who doesn’t grasp what different he craves out of life.

A New Yorker on a trip hunting game in Scotland. He is good-natured, cynical, and sarcastic – primarily because he doesn’t care. He was engaged once and it didn’t take. He’s Tommy’s best friend, though they seem headed in different directions. He hits the bottle some, but that’s the effect of his woes, not the cause. Unlike Tommy, Jeff doesn’t sing about it – this is primarily an acting role, and a rich one at that.

Soprano A lovely, bright, young woman with a gentle sense of humor. She’s disarmingly frank and direct. A product of mid-18th Century small village life in the Scottish Highlands. She’s close to her father Andrew and her younger sister Jean.

Mezzo An attractive, shy, and diffident young woman. She seldom stands alone, often instead clinging to her father Andrew or older sister Fiona. She’s betrothed to Charlie and today’s their wedding day. Also the object of Harry’s affection, she doesn’t return his romantic sentiment and feels bad for him

An educated, sensitive, and moody young man. He feels like he has nothing. He’s bitter and unhappy because Jean rejected him and is marrying Charlie today instead. He’s unenthused about his life’s prospects without Jean, and about a life confined to his father Archie’s weaving trade. In the crowded village square, he’d rather pull up a stool and read.

Tenor/Baritone An Edinburgh-educated, happy, vibrant lover of life. He’s marrying Jean today, and thus he’s otherwise finally “through with the lasses for good.” Exuberant, nearly to the point of annoying – but hopefully not quite.

A kind schoolmaster, Lundie’s the guardian of the village’s mysteries and secrets. Lundie’s kind and benign yet speaks with little trace of emotion. Not one for self-expression through featured singing solos, Lundie instead can effortlessly captivate a couple of New York outsiders (or a couple hundred Saratoga audience members) when retelling a long story.

Alto. Fiona’s best friend, a lusty milkmaid who sells dairy with Angus. Her parents are gone, she lives in the simple open shed that she inherited, and has had a great many heartbreaks from men to whom she’s given her heart (among other things). A sympathetic mix of persistent and perhaps desperate for a good man in her life.

A young woman in the village who’s yearning for Harry, as unrequited as Harry is by Jean. Maggie, however, hasn’t given up hope and isn’t despondent like Harry is. She primarily expresses herself as a featured dancer.

A young woman in the village who’s Jean’s best friend. One of her closer friends, on this (Jean’s wedding day) she’s the one who acts as protector of Jean from Charlie seeing her before the ceremony.

A hardy soul, a bit pompous, sounds loud and gruff. Fiona and Jean’s father. He’s one who likes to take charge of things, such as making the town proclamation at the start of this second day of their “blessing.”

Tommy’s fiancée in New York. An attractive, glamorous, slightly severe New Yorker. When we meet her, she’s been waiting for him and trying to be patient as Tommy keeps putting off their future together. Tommy’s unhappiness isn’t her fault. She’s in one pivotal scene, and will be among the villagers earlier in the show.

A prototypical 1940s bartender in New York City. He’s known Jeff, and probably Tommy and Jane, for a while. He’s in one pivotal scene, and will be among the villagers earlier in the show.

A kind-looking man, who sells wool and plaids from his weaving booth in the village. A widower, he’s Harry’s father, cares about him deeply, and wishes his son could get on better with others.

Baritone A seller of eggs, milk, and cream in the village. He’s also known to keep a stock of a stronger drink in his booth. Meg assists him since she doesn’t have a family trade of her own. A pleasant man, he watches out for Meg and tries to save her from her own advances towards men.

Tenor/Baritone A seller of woolen clothes in the village. Leads the toast before the wedding dance.

Bass A seller of candy from a booth in the village. Peppermint sticks and the like draw him lots of business, he’s often hanging around with MacGregor and Angus.

Baritone A seller of salted meat in the village. Often seen in a small group with Sandy and Angus.

A seller of fish in the village. A featured dancer, particularly in the Bonnie Jean Ballet.

Villagers, including featured dancers, strong singers, and convincing actors.
