Singing Audition for "Rock of Ages" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Directors are looking for talent for musical "Rock of Ages". More details are below. About the play: It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ’n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands of the decade hold the answer. Additional information: REHEARSALS will be held as follows from June 15-Sept 4: - Tues evenings 7-10pm - Thurs evenings 7-10pm - Weekend afternoon rehearsals, fluctuating between Saturday or Sunday. PLEASE NOTE: For the week prior to opening (i.e. beginning Sunday September 7th), please expect a rehearsal or other activity on each day. Run Dates: September 12th - 27th 2025. If you're interested, please apply.
10 roles
Tenor – Bb3–D5. An appealing, good-guy rocker with great, easy comedic timing, a boyish charm, vulnerability, and a very strong rock tenor voice. Drew works at the legendary Bourbon Room hoping and waiting for his dreams to come true. He finds an instant attraction to Sherrie, the beautiful new arrival from the Midwest, who encourages him to go after his dreams.
Mezzo-Soprano – G3–F5. A sweet, small-town girl who moves to the city to pursue a brighter future. She hopes to get her break in the acting business despite her parents’ obvious disapproval. This is a perfect role for a performer with a strong voice and solid acting skills.
Tenor – D3–D5. The narrator of the piece, charming, mischievous, welcoming, vibrant personality, a guy who would be fun to spend one drunken night with. Strong, honest comedic timing and improv skills, and strong rock vocals.
Baritone – D3–A4. Classic stoner type guy who runs the famous Bourbon Room club. Torn about whether he should sell the club to Hertz, a German businessman. Very strong comedic timing. A laid-back, easy-going dude.
Tenor – C3–Eb5. A sexy rock star. Decided to leave his successful hair/metal-rock band to try it solo. Self-important, confident, intriguing in all the wrong ways, the ultimate bad boy; he is all about sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. Great comedic timing and strong rock tenor voice.
Alto – G3–Db5. Female, strong presence, an easy sensuality about her. Once a performer, she now operates a strip club where Sherrie winds up working. Takes on the maternal role for the girls that work for her. Strong, soulful vocals and belt needed.
Baritone – F3–A4. An attractive older German male. Uptight, cold, intimidating businessman trying to buy up the Strip to develop it. The bad guy of the piece. Strong comedic timing and baritone vocals.
Tenor – Db3–A4; Eb5 falsetto. Hertz’s son, young German male. Works for his father but not by choice. Pressured and intimidated by his father. Shy, gentle with a big heart. Strong vocals and comedic timing.
Mezzo-Soprano – A3–Eb5. A fun, hippie type, in shape, earthy girl who fights against the attempted take over of The Strip. Strong comedic timing, belt vocals.
All Voice Types. Busy bodies of the Sunset Strip! Includes dancers, bar patrons, reporters, groupies, protestors, and more. High energy, featured vocals and choreography throughout.
