AUDITIONS FOR WALL$TREET
A Staged Musical Reading
Roles for 15 Performers

Auditions for the staged musical reading of the original musical comedy Wall Street will be held at The Wilton Playshop, Friday, September 3 from 7 to 10 PM and Saturday, September 4 from 10 to 1 PM. Performances will be held on October 1 and 2 and will be presented in cooperation with the Troopers Light Opera Company of Darien.

Wall Street was written by Charles Veley, Esq. who wrote the lyrics with music based on the songs of Gilbert and Sullivan. Wall Street is the winner of the Academy for New Musical Theater Search for New Musicals. The production will be directed by Marjorie Janeway with Musical Direction by Eric Peterson.

The musical has roles for 15 performers plus additional supporting roles. Twenty-four new songs, all based on wonderful melodies from eight Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, bring today's Wall Street milieu to a whole new level of hilarity!

For the musical part of the auditions, please bring two contrasting songs (any style) that show off our vocal qualities and range. Be prepared to sing only a verse (or 45-second chunk), and we may only hear one of the songs. Please bring MUSIC for the pianist in the correct key with any cuts clearly marked.
