Breakdown
I’ll be Home for Christmas is a New Musical that centers around the Bright Family. A TV show business family in the tradition of OZZIE AND HARRIET NELSON or the film THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS starring Dan Daily and Ethel Merman. The Brights have been in the public eye since being USO performers in World War II.
Style of music ranges from Big Band to 60’s pop/ rock .
Seeking:
DANA BRIGHT- father of the Bright family, mid 40's-50's, a typical old school hoofer with a great sense of old time comic timing. Tenor/baritone. Think Dan Daily or Gene Kelly. Masculine patriarch stuck in the show business era of the 1940's/50's. Strong tap and good vocals necessary.
LOUISE BRIGHT- mother of the Bright family. Mid 40's-50's, former big band singer, all around girl next door with a gorgeous, velvet voice. Think Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney or Dinah Shore. Very grounded.
SIMON BRIGHT- oldest son of the Brights, 23-26, former teen idol, think Ricky Nelson. Just returned from a year in Vietnam so slightly brooding. Rock tenor and guitar playing a plus.
MAGGIE BRIGHT- young daughter of the Bright family. 18-22, sassy dancer with a bundle of energy. Think Ann Margaret, Mitzi Gaynor, Sandra Dee. Must be great dancer. Including tap.
CAROL MARIE- comedienne and guest start on the show, 40's-50's. Vaudeville humor with a big belt voice. Think Rose Marie, Tootie Fields, Betty Garrett. Also sings a heartbreaking ballad in act 2, a true star.
LEN RAMBLE- country singer and guest star on the show, 30's. Swaggering southerner with a Hank Williams, Johnny Cash Vibe, but Glen Campbell good looks. Guitar playing a plus, baritone vocals.
SANDY- African American male 20 – 25. Sandy is a chorus member who steps into the limelight to save the show, 20-25. Must be extremely strong dancer (including tap) and singer. An eternal optimist. Very likable.
Ruby- African American floor manager, very bossy and authoritative, 40's-50's. The anchor of the TV show, a bit of a freight train of a personality. Strong singer.
