Seeking:

Casting director's notes:

- "All must be excellent comic performers with well trained voices."
- "ALL performers must commit to both legs of the run [Queens and Edinburgh], do not come in unless you are interested and available for both legs."


A Soprano (20s): Female. A somewhat ditzy but sparkling young diva-in-the-making. Glorious Lyric Soprano with a high C.

A Mezzo (30-40s): Female. A smart, but no longer quite so young and sparkling performer, now consigned to the “heavy” roles, and not happy about it. Dramatic Mezzo Soprano with strength throughout range.

A Tenor (30-40s): Male. A slightly-past-his-prime romantic hero, with a very high opinion of his prowess as a performer and lover. Lyric Tenor or Bari-tenor - with high B-flat.

A Baritone (45-65): Male. A life-time veteran of 100’s of G&S productions –who can’t quite keep the roles straight anymore. Speaks mostly in garbled G&S dialogue. Comic Baritone - with good comic "patter" skills.
