SHREK THE MUSICAL

First rehearsal: May 25, 2026
Opens: June 5, 2026
Closes: either August 27, 28 or 29, 2026

SEEKING

Shrek — Voice: High Baritone/Tenor; Range: A2–G#4. A big-hearted ogre hiding behind sarcasm and solitude. Gruff exterior, shy interior — honest, vulnerable, and funny. Traits: Strong physical presence, comic timing, emotional grounding.

Princess Fiona — Voice: Soprano/High Belt; Range: F3–G5. Fiery, quirky, awkwardly optimistic princess who’s been in a tower a bit too long. Poised…until she isn’t. Traits: Strong belt, comedy chops, physical humor, heart.

Donkey — Voice: Tenor/High Baritone; Range: C3–B4. Shrek’s fast-talking, emotional, loyal sidekick. Lovable, chatty, and absolutely owns the punchlines. Traits: Big personality, soul/pop flair, excellent comic timing.

Lord Farquaad — Voice: High Baritone/Tenor; Range: B2–D5. Tiny tyrant with a huge ego — melodramatic, theatrical, and fabulously self-absorbed. Traditionally played on knees. Traits: Physical comedy, villainous charm, commitment to the bit.

Supporting & Featured Roles

Dragon — Voice: Powerful Soul/Pop Belt (typically offstage singer + onstage puppeteer); Range: F3–Eb5. A fierce, diva-level guardian of the tower with a surprising soft side. Traits: Big vocals, attitude, warmth.

Gingy / Sugar Plum Fairy — Voice: Soprano/Mezzo Mix; Range: B3–C#5. The sassy gingerbread cookie with a tough-cookie edge. Often doubled. Traits: Character voice, sharp comedic delivery.

Pinocchio — Voice: Tenor; Range: E3–F#4. An earnest wooden boy with a flair for the dramatic — and a nose problem. Traits: Full-commitment character role, physical comedy.

DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS

First rehearsal: June 8, 2026
Opens: June 19, 2026
Closes: either August 27, 28 or 29, 2026

SEEKING

Lawrence Jameson — Voice: Baritone; Range: A2–Bb4. A suave, worldly, and impossibly charming con artist living on the French Riviera. Polished, aristocratic, and dryly witty — he prefers elaborate long-cons, delivered with style. Traits: Elegant, sophisticated, brilliant comic timing, leading-man presence.

Freddy Benson — Voice: Tenor; Range: A2–B4 (strong mix/chest). A scrappy, small-time hustler with big dreams and little impulse control. Street-smart, crude, and outrageous — but ultimately endearing. Traits: Physical comedian, playful chaos energy, lovable troublemaker.

Christine Colgate — Voice: Soprano with mix/belt; Range: A3–E5. A seemingly sweet, naïve American “Soap Queen” who becomes the central focus of the cons. Warm, sunny demeanor — with a twist. Traits: Charming, funny, sincere, with great comic instincts.

Muriel Eubanks — Voice: Mezzo-Soprano; Range: G3–C5. A wealthy, romantic, and slightly lonely socialite traveling through Europe. Graceful and generous — with a delightful sparkle. Traits: Elegant, warm, refined comic sensibility.

Andre Thibault — Voice: Baritone; Range: A2–F4. The chief of police — dry, smart, loyal, and quietly amused by the chaos around him. Muriel’s unexpected romantic interest. Traits: Subtle humor, European charm, grounded presence.

Jolene Oakes — Voice: Mezzo/Belter; Range: A3–D5. An enthusiastic, wealthy Oklahoma oil heiress. Loud, bold, fearless, and hilariously intense in her confidence. Traits: Big personality, strong belt, comic energy.

URINETOWN

Opens: July 3, 2026
Closes: either August 27, 28 or 29, 2026

SEEKING

Officer Lockstock — Voice: Baritone; Range: A2–A4. The self-aware narrator and wry police officer who guides the audience through the story. Confident, commanding, with a dry comic edge. Traits: Deadpan humor, authority, strong comic timing.

Penelope Pennywise — Voice: Mezzo/Alto with belt; Range: A3–C6. Tough, world-weary gatekeeper of Public Amenity #9. Gruff exterior with emotional depth beneath. Traits: Strong belt, physical comedy, powerhouse presence.

Bobby Strong — Voice: Tenor; Range: A2–C5. Earnest assistant amenity manager who becomes a hopeful (and slightly naïve) revolutionary leader. Traits: Romantic lead, genuine warmth, comic sincerity.

Hope Cladwell — Voice: Soprano with mix/belt; Range: A3–A5. Sweet, optimistic ingenue and Cladwell’s daughter. Appears innocent but grows into a moral force. Traits: Bright, honest, emotionally open. Vocal flexibility a plus.

Caldwell B. Cladwell — Voice: Baritone; Range: A2–G4. Powerful, smarmy CEO of Urine Good Company. Charming villain with a Broadway-style bravado. Traits: Strong character actor, commanding, humorous without being campy.

Little Sally — Voice: Mezzo/Soprano; Range: A3–E5. Smart, precocious, absurdly insightful child who comments on the show like a tiny philosopher. Traits: Cute but sharp, dry humor, strong timing.

Officer Barrel — Voice: Baritone; Range: B2–F4. Lockstock’s slightly dim but loyal partner. Earnest and eager to please. Traits: Physical comedy, warm-hearted sidekick energy.

Six women — powerhouse vocals, strong style, and featured celebrity impressions from the 1970s pop & soul era. Six diverse, dynamic female-identifying performers. Excellent pop/soul/rock vocals. Strong harmony work & blend. Distinct personalities and comedic timing. Ability to evoke the style/essence of 1970s icons (not impersonations — but strong stylistic nods). Movement ability — from groove to light choreography.
