Too Old for the Chorus is a smart, funny musical revue about men and women who find themselves suddenly 50! Set in their neighborhood coffee show, five characters express their feelings about ‘getting older’ through 18 wonderful songs. This show is a fast paced, laugh a minute review audiences of all ages will enjoy. Ultimately age is just a number and all of us need to find fulfillment in being exactly who we are—all while getting a Senior Discount!

Office@broadwayvista.com AUDITION LOCATION: Vista's Broadway Theater - 340 East Broadway, VISTA CA 92084 AGES: 47 to 65 CAST SIZE: 5 people Character Descriptions: SHIRLEY – 58-65. A beautiful life force who’s “been there and done that” and still has lots of life to live - because to her, “Age Is Just A Number.” A cross between Shirley MacLaine and Elaine Stritch. BOBBY – 50. A Broadway gypsy whose body is starting to wear out, so he’s pondering his options. Boyishly handsome, well-dressed and gay – he still can dance and knock ’em dead. GLENN – 58-65. A former surfing star – now a little out of shape who welcomes the anonymity that age and a belly has given him. An optimist all the way, the martini glass is always half full to him. FAITH – 45. A spunky former fi re-baton-twirling Miss Ohio. Her husband recently left her for a younger woman and her two kids are in college. She’s looking for a new beginning. Age has handed her the unexpected challenge of early menopause. JAMES – 50-55. A former business whiz-kid who is losing out to the techno-savvy generation. Three strikes in the marriage department and his mental acuity is starting to go. Think James Naughton or Tom Wopat. BARRY – Young. A barista at the coffee shop. He has no lines, but responds to lines and does certain stage business. PAY SCALE: Shirley, Bobby, Glenn, Faith and James will be paid $500.00 for the two week run. Barry, the young Barista with no lines — pay will be negotiated. *NOTE: We will not be housing any actors nor will there be any additional rehearsal pay.
