Seeking Performers for "There She Is" Concert Version
Casting performers for concert version presentation of new musical "There She Is". ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. For your reference, please see the details below. About the project: “There She Is” is a gender-bent 1960s retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol”. It tells the story of Sara, the reigning Miss Minnesota who is competing for Miss America. She has Scrooge-like cynicism and treats her staff and family quite harshly until she is visited by Miss Americas of the past, present and future on the eve of the pageant. Additional info: Non union. Below are all the singing roles. Since this is a concert version, additional speaking roles will not be included in this presentation. Performance will ideally be one night in May or June 2027. Please list any conflicts during that time. That will be extremely helpful with the planning process. If you are interested, please apply.
8 roles
Mezzo. Our story’s Scrooge.
Alto. Sara’s doting mother who was Miss America many years earlier.
Bass-baritone. He is the attorney general of Minnesota and Sara’s stepfather.
Soprano. We also see her as part of the past, winning the Miss America crown.
Just like the story, they are the ghosts of past, present and future. These roles could be any voice type.
Baritone. Sara’s sheepish but loyal manager who is often the butt of her jokes.
Tenor. A student at Columbia who meets Sara while visiting Minneapolis for a research project, becomes her first love, and falls in love with the Midwest.
Alto, mezzo, and soprano. They sing in three-part harmony. Unlike the story, they are not dead. The eldest sister was the runner-up for Miss Minnesota and succumbed to Sara’s mind games. The guilt of that day haunts Sara.
