An accompanist will be provided\, so please bring sheet music that is in your key\, clearly prepared\, indicating where you start and stop. No tracks or a cappella. \nBe prepared to dance. \nSides for cold readings will be provided at the auditions/callbacks. \nSHORT SYNOPSIS:\nGodspell is a musical that retells the parables from the Gospel of Matthew through song\, dance\, and comedic storytelling\, focusing on themes of friendship\, love\, and community\, and culminates in the Passion of Christ. A group of eclectic disciples helps Jesus bring these timeless lessons to life using creative games and a blend of musical styles\, ultimately forming a community around him\, with the narrative moving toward his crucifixion. GODSPELL was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner\, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked\, Pippin\, Children of Eden). Boasting a score with chart-topping songs\, a book by a visionary playwright (John-Michael Tebelak)\, GODSPELL is a sensation that continues to touch audiences. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nAll roles are available\, open to any age (18+)\, ethnicity\, or gender. \nIn addition to each individual being able to stand out\, it is important that all cast members are able to function as an ensemble\, without any feeling that any one (other than Jesus) stands out above the others. Other important traits to have for the roles are a sense of comic ability\, and some skill at improvisation. \nJESUS (Tenor\, 18+):  Must be the most charismatic individual in the cast. High energy\, charming\, funny\, gentle\, but with strength. He is the sort of person others instinctively follow.  He sings “Save the People\,” “All for the Best\,” Alas for You\,” and “Beautiful City” \nJOHN THE BAPTIST/JUDAS (Baritone\, 18+): Will perhaps split this role between two actors. He has attributes of both Biblical figures: He is both Jesus’ lieutenant and most ardent disciple\, and the doubter who begins to question and rebel. Like Jesus\, he is also charismatic\, but in more of an overt revolutionary way. Usually played by someone handsome and masculine\, with an undertone of sexuality. He is the most “serious” and intellectual of the group\, though as with all the actors\, he must still possess a good sense of physical comedy. He sings “Prepare Ye\,” “All for the Best\,” and “On the Willows.” \nNICK (Tenor\, 18+):  Very high energy. Impish and playful. In the original\, he might play several musical instruments\, including concertina\, recorder or guitar if the actor has this ability\, but not a requirement of the role. He sings “We Beseech Thee.” \nTELLY (Tenor\, 18+):  Not the brightest in the bunch\, he is a little slow on the uptake. But there is a great sweetness and innocence about him. He sings “All Good Gifts.”  \nGEORGE (Tenor\, 18+):  The comedian\, the class clown. The guy who can do a hundred voices and imitations. He sings “Light of the World.” \nANNA MARIA (Alto\, 18+):  A bit of a tomboy\, but basically open and sweet. Perhaps the youngest of the group. She is the first of the group to commit to following Jesus in the song “Day by Day.” \nLINDSAY (Soprano\, 18+):  The confident one\, the show-off. The first one to volunteer\, sometimes she jumps in before she really understands what’s going on. She sings “Bless the Lord.”  \nUZO (Alto\, 18+):  The shy one. Sometimes a little slow to get things\, but when she does\, she commits all the way. Has an “earth mother” kind of warmth to her. She sings “By My Side.”  \nMORGAN (Alto\, 18+):  Sassy and slightly cynical\, the most urban of the group. Also the “sexy” one\, but her sexiness contains a large element of put-on\, in the manner of Mae West or Madonna. She sings “Turn Back\, O Man.” \nCELISSE (Mezzo-Soprano\, 18+): The female equivalent of the class clown. Goofy and a cut-up. She might play some instruments\, including conga\, ukulele and guitar if they can\, but not a requirement of the role. She sings “Learn Your Lessons Well.” \nTwo to four ensemble will be added to cast at the director’s discretion. \nBEGINNING REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:\n\n\nGodspell Beg.
