NEWSIES
Seeking:
JACK:
Male, 17 – 25 years old. Handsome, passionate and charismatic leader of the Newsies. A street-smart kid with a dark artistic soul right beneath the bluster. Not a blowhard. This kid’s the real thing. Must have a great pop tenor voice. LEAD. MOVER
DAVEY:
Male, 16 - 26 years old. A thinker. Raised in a home as opposed to the other Newsies, Davie is the book-smart counterpoint to the other boys. The voice of reason. A nice Jewish boy. Must have a great contemporary tenor voice. PRINCIPAL. DANCER
CRUTCHIE:

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
Seeking:
SEYMOUR
(late 20s) Our insecure, nai?ve, put-upon, florists’ clerk hero. Above all, he’s a sweet and well-meaning little man. He is not a silly nerd, and therefore, should not be played as the hero of a Jerry Lewis film. Strong acting and singing.
CRYSTAL, RONNETTE and CHIFFON
(20s-30’s) Any ethnicity. Three female ‘street urchins’ who function as participants in the action (when they have dialogue) and a Greek Chorus commenting and narrating the action (when they sing together in close harmony).

JESUS:
Male. Lead. Tenor. Mover. The enigmatic, story telling leader of the group
