Breakdown

TENDERLY focuses on Rosemary Clooney in 1968 (age 40) as she is recovering from her infamous on-stage breakdown. Thru flashbacks, “TENDERLY” charts her rise to stardom and then her healing process and reinvention; from her humble beginnings in rural Kentucky to Hollywood stardom, pill addiction and a triumphant second career. Classic songs alternate with scenes between Rosemary and her therapist.

Seeking:

Rosemary Clooney:
Female, 30+. The famous singer. She is charming, feisty, straightforward, and vulnerable. Not looking for someone to impersonate her, necessarily, but rather can communicate Clooney’s courage, strength and sense of humor. Seeking seasoned dramatic singer/actress who excels at a variety of musical styles.

Doctor:
Rosemary Clooney’s psychiatrist, 30+. Seeking a seasoned dramatic actor who can sing, move well and who can instantly convey a range of recognizable and believable characters. Actor will also play a wide variety of other roles, both male and female, including Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra.
