Seeking, for the original company of the Broadway production:
Ensemble Singers (M/F):
Characters are 16-22 and 20s-40s, all ethnicities. Performers need strong singing voices and strong movement ability. Play a variety of characters in the ensemble, and possibly understudy principal roles.
Ensemble Dancers (M/F):
Characters are 16-22 and 20s – 40s, all ethnicities. Seeking strong, technically trained dancers with a knack for physicality. Think Michael Kidd. Many of the dancers should also tap and sing very well. Possible principal understudy assignments.
Casting personnel state, “We encourage performers of all cultural backgrounds to attend.”
