NARRATOR: CAST
Seeking:
STAND-BY: (Female identifying, all ethnicities, 25-35) Superstar, rangy singer with good comic chops and a strong ear for mimicry.
JOSEPH: (Male identifying, all ethnicities, 25-35) An average Joe, regular kind of guy. An outstanding physical comedian and clown, but capable of heartfelt honesty. Strong pop-tenor, preferably to a B-flat, but with a solid F and G.
JACOB/POTIPHAR/PHAROAH: (Male identifying, all ethnicities, 45-55) A stocky, dynamic comedian. Capable of both very silly and very threatening. Fantastic singer to an A. Accomplished, rock-pianist (think Little Richard) a huge plus.
BROTHERS: (Male identifying, all ethnicities, 20-35) Physically fit, funny, strong singer/dancer. Be comfortable being shirtless on stage. Swarthy/menacing a plus; fight-skills a plus; tap a plus. All vocal ranges.
MALE ENSEMBLE: (Male identifying, all ethnicities, 25-40) Quirky comedians and singers, capable of shape shifting. Guitar playing a plus.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE: (Female identifying, all ethnicities, 20-30) Strong, dancers who sing.
