Excellent singers to play various ensemble roles and cover principal roles. "GUYS AND DOLLS"

Male-Presenting. Ten years since he first exploded, seven since they sent him to the Army to be tamed, Elvis is 30 and at a crossroads. The money is still flowing in, the movies are still at the box office, but he’s stopped playing live, stopped releasing ground-breaking records, stopped scaring America’s parents: stopped being that Elvis. Baritone with Elvis stylization. Plays rhythm guitar and bass. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Male-Presenting. Can’t believe his luck. Accepted into the Beatles’ inner circle – with a perspective no other journalist has – he is driven by the desire to remain at the centre of things. But he is driven too (at times more) by the music-fan’s desire to see the greatest rock n roll show ever come to pass. He’s obsessed with the Beatles, but Elvis is his great love. He feels the band and the King share a unique connection. Baritenor. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Male-Presenting. There was no bigger Elvis fan growing up, and now no bigger Elvis-sceptic. John is the original rebel, conscious that he’s travelling the same path Elvis took, and anxious that he isn’t derailed, as his one-time hero was. The signs are there. Like Elvis, he’s been isolating himself. Like Elvis, he’s growing tired of the treadmill. Tenor with John Lennon stylization. Plays rhythm guitar. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Male-Presenting. Being Paul McCartney in the mid-1960s might seem the equivalent of winning the karmic lottery. Genius comes easy to him. But he has another Genius as a best friend, who sometimes doesn’t find things quite as straightforward. That’s when Paul’s other genius – for diplomacy and above all friendship – comes in too. Tenor with Paul McCartney stylization. Plays bass, guitar and keyboard. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Male-Presenting. The youngest Beatle, and the quietest, which is not the same as saying the most quiescent. George is as restless as John with the constraints of being Fab, and as ready as John (and Ringo come to that) to seek means of escape, no matter how temporary. But where John lashes out, George turns in. August 1965 sees him on the cusp of his greatest musical and spiritual discoveries. Baritenor with George Harrison stylization. Plays lead guitar. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Male-Presenting. The last Beatle in and still at times a little unsure of his place. At other times happy to enjoy the ride, wherever it takes him. Ringo is everybody’s friend, but nobody’s mug. As philosophical in his own way as George, and, in his own way again, as ambitious as Paul: ambitious (as novelist Richard Ford once said of some of his characters) to have the day go a bit better, everybody’s day. Baritone with Ringo Starr stylization. Plays drums. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Female-Presenting. Too young, when they met, to upend her life by moving from her home in Germany to be with Elvis, Priscilla is now 20 and is all-too aware that fairy tales can contain as much shade as light. She lives her life surrounded by Elvis’s entourage – the Memphis Mafia – and (like Ringo) can be made to feel like the last member of the gang to join. But she is beginning to assert herself. And beginning to want to have a bit more fun. Mezzo. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Male-Presenting. A new kind of man and a new kind of manager. Brian is a savvy and sophisticated operator, but primarily he worships the Beatles. Every decision he makes is in service to them. Brian, though, has two things he can never discuss with the boys: his sexuality, and what on earth he is going to do if (make that ‘when’) they decide to stop touring. Baritenor. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Male-Presenting. An old kind of man and an older kind of manager. Col. Tom Parker learned his trade promoting carnival acts. He sees his job managing Elvis Presley as being no different. Col. Tom is entitled to 50% of Elvis’s earnings, or as he prefers to say, Elvis is entitled to 50% of the Colonel’s! His job is a simple one: to make sure the cash keeps rolling in. Baritenor. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Female-Presenting. Chris’s boss at a London music paper, whose job it is to remind him that his dream job is still a job. Pam is aware of a change in the popular music press, readers increasingly want depth over surface, or – put another way – dirt over chit chat. She is, though, still enough of a fan too – just – to give Chris the room and the time to pull off his, and the paper’s greatest, coup. (‘But, Chris, the clock is ticking...’). Mezzo. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Excellent singers to play various ensemble roles and cover principal roles. Ability to play guitar/bass/drums/keyboard a plus. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Excellent dancers who sing to play various ensemble roles and cover principal roles. Ability to play guitar/bass/drums/keyboard a plus. "WHEN ELVIS MET THE BEATLES"

Male-Presenting. Owner of the White Star Line. Pompous and detached, with a tendency to become easily irritated when ignored. Baritone. "TITANIC"

Male-Presenting. A fatherly leader, deeply invested in the well-being of his passengers and offering encouragement to his younger officers. Baritone. "TITANIC"

Male-Presenting. A Stoker. Muscular and intelligent, he is a man of action who questions the motives behind the decisions of those in power. Tenor. "TITANIC"

Male-Presenting. Wireless Operator. A shy, socially awkward young man who longs for connection. He finds solace in his telegraph machine, using it to communicate with people across the globe. Baritone. "TITANIC"

Male-Presenting. First Officer. A seasoned officer who should have already been promoted to captain, but he is uncertain about his readiness for the role. Baritone. "TITANIC"

Male-Presenting. Senior Steward. An experienced steward serving the first-class passengers. He may seem overly proper, but his concern for others is genuine. Tenor. "TITANIC"

Male-Presenting. Co-owner of Macy’s department store in New York. Deeply devoted to his wife. Bass/Baritone. "TITANIC"

Female-Presenting. A devoted wife who refuses to board a lifeboat without her husband. Mezzo-Soprano. "TITANIC"

Male-Presenting. An Irish immigrant in steerage (third class) who seeks a fresh start in America. Has a romantic relationship with Kate McGowan. Baritone. "TITANIC"

Female-Presenting. An Irish immigrant in steerage (third class). Strong-willed, spirited, and determined. In a romance with Jim Farrell. One of “The Three Kates.” MezzoSoprano. "TITANIC"

Female-Presenting. A charming young woman, engaged to Charles Clarke, seeking a new beginning. Soprano. "TITANIC"

Male-Presenting, 18+ to play teens. A member of the crew responsible for assisting passengers, announcing meals, and supporting the other staff. Tenor. "TITANIC"

Excellent singers to play various ensemble roles and cover principal roles. "TITANIC"

Male-Presenting. Easygoing, charming, decent principled man. A major singing star in post-World War II America. He wears his fame easily, but is seeking something more important: a decent, fulfilling life and truelove. While helping his Army unit general regain his dignity, he defines his own life and meets his true love. A superb singer with a crooning style who moves very well. Basic tap is a plus. Baritone. "WHITE CHRISTMAS"

Male-Presenting. The ambitious, go-getting, song-and-dance partner of the team of Wallace and Davis. An irrepressible clown and definite ladies man. He saved BOB’s life during the war and became his partner and engine behind their fabulous success. He has boyish charm and sex appeal. Strong tap and theatre jazz dance needed. A major song-and-dance comic performer. Bari-tenor. "WHITE CHRISTMAS"

Female-Presenting. The sensible responsible half of the up-and-coming song-and-dance team the Haynes Sisters. She has a beautiful, rich singing voice that matches her decent, upstanding principles. She is overprotective of her younger sister and –like BOB– she needs something more. Of course they are ultimately the perfect couple. A major female singer of quiet beauty and charm with a rich chest-mix sound & a soprano extension. "WHITE CHRISTMAS"

Female-Presenting. The younger, more ambitious Haynes sister. While wholesome and adorable, she is sexy and flirty–a winning charmer no man can resist. Strong tap and theatre jazz dance needed. A major song-and-dance performer. Chest-mix. "WHITE CHRISTMAS"

Male-Presenting. A retired U.S. Army General, adjusting to returning to civilian life in post World War II America. Once a powerful leader now struggles to run an inn in Vermont. He remains a man of great principle and dignity. Beneath his hard, curmudgeon, military exterior, lays a warm compassionate man in need of family and love. Still a handsome, vital man. Non-singing role. "WHITE CHRISTMAS"
