This is a very funny, fast-paced, and wickedly twisted musical comedy with 7 distinct female roles. With the exception of the non-singing role of Miss Block, all the characters have solo songs.

PLEASE NOTE: We are looking to cast a male performer in the role of Sylvia St. Croix.

For the audition please be prepared to bring one up-tempo standard musical theater piece (in the style of, for example, Gypsy, Mame, Hello Dolly, Annie, etc.) An audition pianist will be provided or you can bring a recorded accompaniment for the singing portion of the audition (iPod, phone, CD, MP3). No a cappella auditions please.

Adults and children should prepare a 1-minute comedic contemporary monologue.

There is no dancing required for the initial audition, except for the role of Tina. Actors auditioning for Tina will be asked to learn a simple tap dance routine.

All of those auditioning should also be prepared to do a cold reading from the script.

CHARACTERS:

Tina: an 8-year old “triple threat”, loaded with talent and manipulative to the core, she is sickeningly sweet but underneath, is a remorseless psychopath. She will be required to tap dance proficiently, and should have a strong belt voice. Ideally, we would like to cast someone between 8-12 years old, but would consider someone older. F# below middle C to E one octave above middle C

Judy/Ginger: Tina’s mother, approximately 28-40, a simple June Cleaver-type housewife (with similarities to Ellen Greene in Little Shop of Horrors), who is transformed into Ginger, a Norma Desmond-type Broadway diva. F below middle C to B Flat one octave above middle C

Sylvia St. Croix: the stereotypical “in-your-face” talent manager, who is obsessed with making Tina a star,. For this role, we are looking to cast a man in drag. A one octave below middle C to E above middle C (or a woman with Bea Arthur’s vocal quality)

Miss Thorn: A wannabe actress who had to settle for teaching 3rdgrade, she is the director of the school play. Her integrity in casting her drama productions, are questionable. E below middle C to B above middle C

Louise Lerman: The student who beats out Tina for the lead in the school play, she has limited talent and is larger than Tina. She should be 8-15 years old. Middle C to B Flat above middle C

Lita Encore: Judy’s adoptive mother, a theatre critic with a poison pen, who hates musicals. An Ethel Merman-type with a strong belt. E below middle C to D one octave above middle C

Eve: An efficient personal assistant to Broadway star, Ginger. She wants Ginger’s life, and copies her every mannerism. F# below middle C to C above middle C

Miss Block: A lesbian reporter who wants to do a story about Ginger’s past. This is a non-singing role, and may be doubled with Miss Thorn.
