SEEKING:
Joseph’s Brothers: (early 20s to early 30s) - all 11 brothers must be terrific triple threats – great pop singers with excellent harmony skills, accomplished and athletic dancers (acrobatics and tumbling a big plus), and detailed and convincing actors able to create highly individual personas for each of these 11 brothers. In addition, three of the brothers will double in other roles (BUTLER, BAKER, PHARAOH) as noted below:
Reuben:
The eldest son and de facto leader of the gang. Sings: “Those Canaan Days” in a broad French accent. Needs great comic chops
Simeon:
Son #2 doubles as Butler – an imprisoned and very proper English butler seeking Joseph’s dream advice. Good British accent
Levi:
Son #3. Sings: “One More Angel in Heaven” as a country-western sob song. Needs a funny and genuine “twang”
Napthali:
Son #4 doubles as Baker. An imprisoned working class baker seeking Joseph’s dream advice. Any “lower class” accent
Isaachar:
Son #5 doubles as Pharaoh – full on, no holds barred Elvis. Depending on actor, can be the uber-sexy young Elvis, or the paunchyjump-suited Elvis of the Vegas years. Either way a funny and convincing portrait of “the King” of rock n roll ...in Egypt.
Asher: son #6
Dan: son #7
Zebulon: son #8
Gad: son #9
Judah:
Son #10 the “tropical” son. Sings: “Benjamin Calypso” with a tropical island vibe. Very Harry Belafonte
BENJAMIN: the youngest and most innocent of the brothers. When he is accused as a thief it is truly shocking.
The Wives, The Ishamaelites, The Adoring Girls, Etc: (early to late 20s) – these 4 women form our entire ensemble and so must each be an amazing pop singer (will need to cover all female vocal lines with just these 4 girls so each woman will be alone on a part the entire show), each must be a highly skilled dancer in a variety of styles, and all women need to look terrific in very revealing “Egyptian” showgirl costumes (think bare midriffs, bra tops and lots of leg) In addition, one wife will double (Mrs. Potiphar) as noted below:
Wife #1:
Excellent singer (1st Alto)/ Excellent Dancer doubles as “MRS. POTIPHAR” – the super sexy (a little sleazy even) cheating wife of Potiphar. Can’t keep her hands off Joseph’s fab pecs and abs. Mrs. Potiphar is smoking hot and she knows it. A dangerous and leggy seductress who won’t take no for an answer
Wife #2:
Excellent singer (1st Soprano-sings obligato aria in “One More Angel in Heaven”)/ Excellent Dancer
Wife #3: Excellent singer (2nd Soprano)/ Excellent Dancer
Wife #4: Excellent singer (2nd Alto)/ Excellent Dancer
