Singing Auditions for Musical "Anastasia"

Female Presenting. Character Age: 26. Vocal Range: G3-F5, Belt to D5. Disney-esque Soprano or Mezzo. Dance Requirement: Some movement. Character Description: Anya is brave, fiery, witty, and above all determined. With no memory of her life before age 17 and having lived through the horrors of the Russian Revolution, Anya jumps at the sound of gunshots and is distrustful of strangers, but there is steel hiding just beneath the surface. Anya is strong-willed and compassionate.

Male Presenting. Character Age: 28. Vocal Range: A2-G4. “Baritenor”. Dance Requirement: Some movement. Dmitry is a scoundrel with a heart of gold. A street rat who grew into a conman, he does all he does to get out of poverty and is not above lying, cheating, and stealing to do so–that is until he meets Anya.

Male Presenting. Character Age: Mid 40’s (no age specified). Vocal Range: : A2-F4. Comic Baritone. Dance Requirement: Strong mover. Vlad is Dmitry’s partner in crime (literally) and surrogate father. Before the revolution he scammed his way through society pretending to be a count. Vlad is dramatic, crafty, and a big softie at heart.

Male presenting. Character Age: Mid 30’s. Vocal Range: A2-Gb4. Baritone. Dance Requirement: None. Gleb is the villain of the show, though not a bad person. He fully believes in the Communist ideals he follows. Loyal, honest, and hard working, Gleb almost has the potential to be a hero (he’s very much the hero of his own story). A deeply conflicted person, Gleb’s infatuation (and borderline obsession) with Anya leads to his battle with the idea of doing one’s duty vs. doing what is right.

Female presenting. Character Age: 80’s. Vocal Range: F3-Bb4. A regal Mezzo. Dance Requirement: None. The Dowager Empress has lost everything she once held dear and must now put up with imposter upon imposter never allowing her to grieve in peace. She is icy, proud, and regal (not to mention intimidating) to all but her family. Though she does have a very sharp wit, she is especially warm with Young Anastasia. She commands authority and attention the minute she enters a room.

Female presenting. Character Age: 30s-40s. Vocal Range: G3-C5 Jazzy Mezzo with an upper extension. Dance Requirement: Strong mover. Lily is the lady in waiting to the Dowager Empress. She has been by the Dowager’s side since before the revolution. Lily is clever, dutiful, and above all fun (when not working for the Dowager). She deals with her exile from Russia with a sort of resigned dark humour.
