AUDITION REQUIREMENTS:

We encourage performers of varying ages, all body types, ethnicities, gender identification and experience levels to come and audition. Audition for the roles that call to you even if the age/gender does not match. We are looking to cast approximately 20 performers.

• SING – Please prepare a 60-second cut each of TWO Contrasting songs NOT from the show: ONE ballad (contemporary musical theatre 1970-present) and ONE up-tempo (contemporary musical theatre 1970-present) song OR pop/rock song from the 1970’s/1980’s. Have your lyrics memorized, and remember to act while singing! There will not be an accompanist at auditions, so please have an instrumental backing track ready to play on your phone/device. You are welcome to bring your own speaker but one will be provided. Do not sing acapella. Please be prepared to sing both songs but you may be asked to only sing one due to time constraints.
• DANCE – Attend the group dance call after your individual singing audition – see Sign Up Genius. Please dress appropriately (character/jazz/ballroom shoes if possible and formfitting clothing that you can move in).

Note: If called back, you will be notified by Wed, Jan 15th. Callbacks will consist of group singing, scenes, and solo singing for lead roles. Those who cannot attend callbacks are unlikely to be cast.

PLEASE FILL OUT THE FORM TO THE LEFT AND THEN SELECT AN AUDITION TIME ON THE LINK THAT FOLLOWS.

ROLES:

Note: All ages are provided as a general guideline. Female/Male presenting indicates the gender the character will be portrayed as in the show, not of the performer themselves. Please audition for the characters that appeal to you. While there is some flexibility with vocal ranges in ensemble characters please note vocal ranges of leads and supporting roles while signing up to audition.

Deloris Van Cartier (Mezzo Soprano Belter E3-Gb5, Strong mover, Female 25-35)
An aspiring performer, trying to find both fame and a place in the world. When forced to hide in the convent, she initially refuses to embrace her new lifestyle but learns to embrace it when she works with the choir. Loud-mouthed, and sassy, but ultimately caring.
(Casting note: The Creative Team is committed to casting a BIPOC female presenting performer with a preference for a Black actress for the role of Deloris)

Mother Superior (Mezzo Soprano, D3-E5, Non Dancer, Female 45+)
The head of the convent, sarcastic and a bit stiff. Extremely protective about keeping her sisters away from the outside world, which puts her in direct opposition to Deloris and her musical teachings.

Sister Mary Robert (Soprano Mix, Gb3-A5, Strong Mover, Female 18-25)
A postulant, abandoned as a baby and raised at the convent. Shy and soft-spoken, but singing with Deloris lets her find her voice. Her wallflower lifestyle has made her live a shell of a life.

Curtis Jackson (Baritone, Ab2-Ab4, Mover, Male 30-45)
A club owner, notorious gangster, and Deloris’s boyfriend. Cocky and controlling, always on the verge of violence.

Eddie Souther (Tenor Mix, Ab2-B4, Strong Mover or Dancer, Male 25-35)
The desk chief at the Philadelphia police station and a high school classmate of Deloris who helps get her into hiding. Faces a lot of nerves when under pressure, causing him to sweat profusely. He still yearns for Deloris after all these years, and dreams of being her hero.

Monsignor O’Hara (Baritenor, E3-G4, Non Dancer, Male 40-60)
One of the heads of the convent. Constantly concerned with financial matters, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood.

Sister Mary Lazarus (Mezzo Soprano, F3-B4, Mover, Female 50+)
A nun of the convent and the head of the choir. Rather deadpan and the least welcoming of any of the nuns, but she gets caught up in Deloris’s soul music.

Sister Mary Patrick (Mezzo Soprano, A3-B5, Strong Mover, Female 30-50)
A nun of the convent. Consistently perky, enthusiastic, and easily excitable.

TJ (Tenor with falsetto, Db3-Eb5, Mover, Open Gender 18-25)
Curtis’s nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss.

Joey (Tenor with falsetto, Bb2-Eb5, Mover, Male 30-40)
One of Curtis’s thugs. Believes himself to be quite the ladies’ man.

Pablo (Tenor with falsetto, C4-F5, Mover, Open Gender 24-35)
One of Curtis’s thugs. A natural follower. (Casting note: Fluency in Spanish is an asset.)

Sister Mary Martin-Of-Tours (Non Dancer, Female 35-60)
A nun of the convent. Clearly in her own world, but has her moments of surprising clarity.

Sister Mary Theresa (Non Dancer, Female 60+)
A nun of the convent, the oldest of the group. Decrepit at a glance, but secretly packs a punch.

Michelle (Mezzo Mix, Bb3-F5, Strong Mover, Female 20-30)
One of Deloris’s back-up singers. Lippy and always quick with a retort. (Will also double as a nun)

Tina (Mezzo Mix, Ab3-F5, Strong Mover, Female 20-30)
One of Deloris’s back-up singers. Naïve and not the sharpest tool in the shed. (Will also double as a nun)

Ernie (Non dancer, Open Gender 25-35)
One of Curtis’s thugs. Initially thought to be a mindless yes-man, he turns out to be an undercover police informant.

Ensemble: Nuns, Cops, Hookers, Bar Patrons, Homeless people, altar boys, Fantasy Dancers, pool player, waitress, cab driver, drag queen, newscaster, bartender

Understudies/Swings:
Understudies and swings may be cast for certain roles. Understudies will be guaranteed a minimum of one performance as their understudied role and have the choice to double in the ensemble. Swings would learn the lines and choreography of certain roles and take the stage in case of injury/illness or absence. Please indicate interest if you would like to be considered.
