Seeking:
Note from casting personnel: “Seeking an ensemble of strong comedic actors, who can make bold choices and who are not afraid to go there. Actors must have strong vocal abilities and be comfortable around the “C” word. Actors are not necessarily required to mimic the film directly, but they should strive to capture the nuanced essence of the original performances combined with a strong comedic take.”
