“Cabaret” Musical Needs Performers
Actors needed for “Cabaret” (1998 version). ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See more info below. Additional info: For your audition, please prepare one minute to a minute and a half (1:00-1:30) of any song that displays your showmanship or depth of emotion. Choose a song that you feel passionate about singing. This does not need to be a song from Broadway/musical theater canon, nor does it need to be in the style of the show. Please bring a backing/accompaniment track with you, for which a Bluetooth speaker will be provided. Songs from “Cabaret” will be assigned by character for callback auditions if needed. There will be a dance call for auditions, so please dress appropriately for the dancing portion. No one will be permitted to observe the audition. Your picture may be taken as part of the audition process. This will be to facilitate casting, costume, and make-up requirements for the show. You may be asked to stay longer after your audition if the director needs to speak with you. Callbacks: Monday, September 22nd at 6:00pm if needed. Directors will have a tentative rehearsal calendar posted at the time of auditions. Please list any possible conflicts on your audition form (see the document attached), including vacations/work schedules (if not 9-5 Mon-Fri). Rehearsals will begin in mid-October with read thru TBD. Directors have accommodated for holidays like Thanksgiving/Christmas and New Year’s, which is why they are starting early. Show dates are January 17th, 18th, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 30th, 31st and February 1st. If you are interested, please apply.
17 roles
(Range: C3-G4) The host at the Kit Kat Club. A magnetic and hypnotizing performer who can equally charm you and terrify you. Sexually fluid ringleader who runs the show at the Kit Kat Klub. Strong physicality.
(Range: E3-C5) A British Cabaret performer and the headliner at Berlin's Kit Kat Club. Sally is eccentric, compelling, vivacious, and outrageous - a true bohemian with an artist’s soul. Underneath the surface, she is far more complicated than she appears.
(Range: C#3-E4) An American novelist and English teacher traveling to Berlin for inspiration. A closeted bisexual man exploring his sexuality by escaping to Europe. Strong wit, charisma, presence, and depth.
(Range: Eb3-B4) A landlady who rents rooms in her large flat. She is alone and resigned to her place in life, but secretly longs for more. She is wise and worn but with real sparkle and humor. A survivor and a cynic. Loving Herr Schultz and choosing to risk getting engaged could cost her everything.
(Range: C3-G4) One of Fraulein Schneider’s roomers. A Jewish fruit shop owner who falls in love with Fraulein Schneider. He is warm, kind, endearing, and heartbreakingly “naïve”. There is a survivor here, too.
(Range: F#3-Eb5) Fraulein Kost is a survivor. A sex worker and lodger in Fraulein Schneider's boarding house, she makes things work. Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, the winning side is her side and she’s ready to swap alliances for whatever grass is greener.
(Range: D3-F#4) Life and soul, dependable yet enigmatic, he takes English lessons from Cliff. He’s Cliff’s first ‘true’ friend upon arrival in Berlin. Everyone knows him, everyone loves him. He appears witty, charming, and warm but ultimately, a Nazi.
