Breakdown

SEEKING:

PATRICK

Baritenor. PRINCIPAL

Any actors auditioning for this role should sing a big, showbizzy show tune, ideally something about determination or wanting to be a star, a la Give my Regards to Broadway, I Am What I Am, All I Care About is Love, Don’t Rain on My Parade, etc. Must have a strong Baritone with comfortable sustained G# belt. PRINCIPAL.

Any actors auditioning for this role should sing an up-tempo contemporary song that shows off your vocal range but also has a gruffness ala Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, or Gogol Bordello; the songs should be jangly and jaunty, something fun to wail on. Must be a strong Baritenor. PRINCIPAL.
