Singing Audition for "Elf" Play
In need of male and female talent for the "Elf", the musical. Review the details provided below. About the project: Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. Additional info: Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete an audition form and be prepared to write down a schedule of conflicts that may conflict with rehearsal time or performances. Auditionees will be asked to sing a selection taught on site by the vocal director, perform sides selected by the director, and learn a short dance led by the show’s choreographer. Directors recommend wearing comfortable clothing for the dance portion. The musical is set to run November 21st thru December 28th. If interested, apply.
19 roles
Born a human but raised at the North Pole as a Christmas Elf, Buddy is eager to find his place in the world. He is a child at heart and that child-like curiosity makes him both endearing and gets him into trouble.
Buddy's girlfriend. She works at Macy's and has a bit of a cynical outlook on life and love because of the men she's dated. She is caught off guard by Buddy's genuinely big heart.
Buddy's workaholic father. He is a Children's book writer, but lacks any of the childlike spirit that Buddy has. He is selfish, tense, and generally angry with life.
Walter's wife. Though she is sweet and willing to take him in, she thinks Buddy is crazy at first. Wishes her husband would spend more time with the family.
Walter's secretary. Takes an instant liking to Buddy simply for the novelty of it. Though she aims to please and is a bit of a suck-up, she feels under appreciated.
A heavy-set manager at Macy's. He is a good, friendly guy just trying to do his job and get by.
Walter's boss. He is what Walter will become if he continues down the path he is on. A tyrannical, workaholic who cares nothing about the people around him or who work for him.
Just another workingman. Loves his job and Christmas, but also likes to kick-back and watch the game when a rare opportunity arises. A natural storyteller.
One of Walter's right-hand men. He is desperate to keep his job, and perhaps the dumber of the two.
One of Walter's right-hand men. He is desperate to keep his job and is the schemer of the two.
