SEEKING:
[DEWEY FINN] Mid 20s-30s. Any ethnicity. A true powerhouse original. High rock tenor to an E; great comedic skills-improv a plus, basic solo guitar skills a MUST. Possible crossover into The Count of Monte Cristo which runs in repertory. PRINCIPAL
[TOMIKA] age 9-12, under 5’2”, African-American. New to the school, Tomika struggles to make friends despite her two Dads’ pushing her forwards. Tomika barely speaks until she finally summons the courage to open her mouth and sing out, so we have to be blown away by her sound. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well. Also seeking an understudy. PRINCIPAL
[SUMMER] age 9-12, under 5’2”. Any ethnicity. A Manhattan princess. She has never had it any other way than her own, and she is confident things will continue in this vein. She gives a new sense to the word entitlement. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well. PRINCIPAL
[KATIE] PLAYS GUITAR/BASS GUITAR/CELLO. age 9-12, under 5’2”. Any ethnicity. A cool, collected girl, Katie is distinguished by her talent for the bass or cello. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well. Also seeking an understudy. PRINCIPAL
[ZACK] PLAYS GUITAR. age 9-12, under 5’2”. Any ethnicity. A mixture of anger at his father’s indifference and passion for the music that is raging inside him. He knows he has more in him than he has ever been able to show. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well. Also seeking an understudy. PRINCIPAL
[LAWRENCE] PLAYS PIANO. age 9-12, under 5’2”. Any ethnicity. A shy, awkward boy, who lacks confidence, but is a genius on the keyboard. He needs a free spirit like Dewey to lead him out of the darkness. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well. Also seeking an understudy. PRINCIPAL
[FREDDY] PLAYS DRUMS. age 9-12, under 5’2”. Any ethnicity. Freddy has lots of energy ready to be let out. He’s not as posh as some of his classmates and his Dad always reminds him how lucky he is to go to such a good school. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well. Also seeking an understudy. PRINCIPAL
[BILLY] age 9-12, under 5’2”. Any ethnicity. An artistic boy with a flair for fashion, but who wrestles with other challenges at home. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well. PRINCIPAL
[MASON] age 9-12, under 5’2”. Any ethnicity. As eager as the others to enjoy school instead of dreading it. He is a whizz on the technical side. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well. PRINCIPAL
[MARCY] age 9-12, under 5’2”. Any ethnicity. Clever and sassy girl. Back up singer with style. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well. PRINCIPAL
