BREAKDOWN

BULL DURHAM

SYNOPSIS: Bull Durham, A New Musical is based on the classic MGM film, telling the story of three lives brought together by America's two favorite pastimes: baseball and love. It's a pitch-perfect blend of comedy, drama, and steamy romance. Bull Durham, A New Musical is written by the film's original screenwriter, Ron Shelton (writer and director of Bull Durham, White Men Can't Jump, and Tin Cup), who has adapted his screenplay for the musical, which has music and lyrics by Susan Werner.

SEEKING:

ANNIE SAVOY (38 - 45 years old). OFFER OUT
Character is female. Can be any ethnicity. The sexy, curvy, warm and fiery High Priestess of the Durham Bulls. Annie is more than a little cautious about embarking upon relationships that could last more than a season. She must have a great, southern rock voice.

CRASH DAVIS (mid-30s to early 40s) OFFER OUT
Character is male. Can be any ethnicity. A seasoned minor league baseball player with a rugged charm and a philosophical outlook on life. Must be able to portray a mix of toughness, vulnerability, and wit. Crash is charismatic, with a dry sense of humor and a no-nonsense attitude towards life and love. Strong pop rock singing voice.

EBBY CALVIN “NUKE” LALOOSH (early to mid-20s)
Character is male. Can be any ethnicity. A talented but immature rookie pitcher with a wild streak. Cocky, energetic, and often clueless, Nuke possesses a boyish charm and a genuine desire to succeed, even if he doesn't always know the best way to go about it. Strong singer.

JIMMY (Late 20s to mid-30s)
Character is male. Can be any ethnicity. Born-again minor league player. Struggles between faith, chastity, and his love for Millie. Very strong pop-tenor.

MILLIE (Late 20s to mid-30s)
Character is female. Can be any ethnicity. Annie's close friend and fellow baseball enthusiast. Sarcastic, sassy, and unapologetically herself. In love with Jimmy. Very strong high belt.

JOE “SKIP” RIGGINS (late 30s to early 50s)
Character is male. Can be any ethnicity. The grizzled manager of the minor league baseball team. Tough, no-nonsense, and deeply passionate about the game. Has a commanding presence and strong comedic timing.

LARRY (Late 30s – 40s)
Character is male. Can be any ethnicity. Pitching coach with limited but unique view of life and baseball. Funny Baritone with an excellent falsetto and a strong sense of pitch and rhythm. A bear of a man.

UNCLE ROY TUCK (40s-60s)
Gravel voiced radio sports announcer. Southern. Been around a long time and has seen it all.
