Breakdown

FEMALE ENSEMBLE: ensemble of gorgeous, leggy Ziegfeld Follies showgirls…all must sing well (good with harmonies), and all must be excellent tappers. As Will says at one point…''now the girls change from nuthin’ to…nuthin'' so all need terrific bodies and must look great in midriff baring costumes (please wear midriff-baring clothing for audition) Height requirement for female ensemble: 5’5'' - 5’10'' (without heels) Range: one soprano soloist to Bb5

MALE ENSEMBLE: ''The Cowboy Quartet''…a singing, dancing barbershop quartet of idealized Ziegfeld Follies ''cowboys'' These guys are the cowboys only Ziegfeld would dream up…impossibly tall and handsome singer/dancers with killer bodies (all the guys appear in only a loincloth at one point in the show) who are Will’s backup quartet throughout. All must be excellent tappers and highly skilled singers who hold their own part the entire evening. Height requirement for the Cowboy Quartet: 5’11'' and up (in bare feet) Ranges: 1) Tenor- to C5 (high C), 2 ) Lead-to A4, 3) Bari-to G4, 4) Bass-Bb2-C4
