Singing Audition for "Pair of Guys Lost" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Directors are currently in need of singers for "Pair of Guys Lost" Play. More details are below. About the Show: Pair of Guys Lost: A New Musical is an original satirical comedy musical featuring a brand-new electropop score of all original songs. A sharp-witted and hilarious reimagining of The Book of Genesis and John Milton’s Paradise Lost, this satirical musical infuses creation with biting humor, a queer twist, and an infectious original score. A self-proclaimed “most stable genius” of a God accidentally creates two men instead of the male-female pair he intended—then insists it was the greatest, most tremendous creation ever, with no mistakes. But as the two explore their world, cracks begin to show—contradictions pile up, logic unravels, and they wonder if their absent, insecure, vengeful creator is genuinely worthy of worship. Along their journey, they encounter a wise and insightful snake—a figure who sees through illusion and offers them a new way of thinking. The snake becomes their unexpected guide, encouraging them to think critically about their reality, question the stories they've been fed, and seek their own understanding of the world. Meanwhile, a trio of mischievous angels serve as the show’s ever-present narrators, chiming in with sharp-witted commentary and playful banter. They weave in and out of the story, reacting to the action with humor, attitude, and a knowing wink to the audience.

8 roles
A timid introvert devoted to his creator, deeply sensitive but guarded. Content in his solitude, he never longed for connection—until Steve enters his life, awakening emotions he never expected. His journey is one of self-discovery as he grapples with love, doubt, and the courage to question everything he’s been told. Voice Type: Male-presenting tenor. Movement: Strong dance skills required.
The opposite of Adam—outgoing, fearless, and cocky, with a rebellious streak. Steve constantly challenges the world around him, pushing boundaries and questioning everything. His charisma and sharp wit mask an earnest desire to uncover the truth. Voice Type: Male-presenting tenor. Movement: Dance experience preferred.
A parody of Donald Trump—boastful, insecure, and obsessed with control. Requires a strong Trump impersonation, including his speech patterns and physicality. He sings and dances (or at least moves with intent) in a way that reflects his over-the-top bravado. Voice Type: Baritone. Gender: Not gender-specific but male-presenting in the show. Special Skills: Strong comedic timing, ability to embody Trump’s mannerisms.
Not a villain, but a wise, calm, and insightful guide who encourages Adam and Steve to think critically. The snake offers truth rather than temptation, gently leading them toward self-awareness. Must be able to shift between grounding wisdom and playful wit. Voice Type: Tenor/Alto/Soprano. Movement: Some dance required.
A trio of comedic, ever-present narrators with big personalities, delivering witty commentary and playful banter. Think of them as omniscient hype-people—reacting, joking, and pushing the story forward with energy and attitude. They also double as various dancers and singers throughout the show. Voice Type: Strong harmonisation skills required. Movement: Able to perform extensive choreography, though technical dance training is not required.
A dramatic and eccentric figure—a full Moira Rose impersonation, complete with flowery, lyrical speech and bizarre (often hilariously incorrect) predictions. They thrive on theatrics and even more on making everything about themselves..
A fabulous, sharp-tongued diva with a presence as big as their opinions. Think drag-queen energy—bold, hilarious, and effortlessly commanding every room they enter. They deliver cutting wit and sharp comebacks with impeccable comedic timing.
The wide-eyed romantic of the group, endlessly rooting for love to prevail. Hope’s belief in the power of love is both sincere and over-the-top, making them an earnest yet comedic presence.
