Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking talent for The Unauthorized Hallmark(ish) Parody Musical. More details are below. About the musical: A hilarious, high-camp love letter to every holiday movie cliché, filled with big characters, big vocals, and even bigger heart. Rate: Starting at $725/week (Non-Union). Additional information: Rehearsal & Performance Dates: Location TBD - Oct 29th-Nov 13th 2025. Tech/Preview dates: Nov 14th-19th 2025. Performance Run: Opening Nov 20th 2025-Jan 4th 2026. Tone of the Show: The Unauthorized Hallmark(ish) Parody Musical is a fast-paced, high-camp, heartfelt holiday romp that lovingly skewers every TV holiday movie cliché while embracing the cozy, sparkly spirit of the season. Think "Schmigadoon!" meets "SNL Holiday Special" by way of a Broadway spectacle, with nods to Annie, Little Mermaid, Phantom, and Miss Saigon-if all those musicals were wrapped in tinsel and drenched in gingerbread-scented satire. The humor is meta, referential, and absurdly sincere, with a wink to the audience but a full embrace of the genre's emotional core. It walks a fine line between parody and homage-it knows it's ridiculous, but it also really means it. Opening: Nov 20, 2025. Seeking fearless comedic performers with strong vocals and sketch chops for multiple principal and swing roles. Self-Tape Deadline: August 8, 2025. Final Callbacks: September 3–5 & 8–9, 2025. When applying, please submit head shot, resume, and self-tape. Subject Line: "YOUR NAME – Hallmarkish Musical".
