SUMMARY:La Cage Aux Folles
DESCRIPTION:Written By: Book by Harvey Fierstein \, Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman. Based on the play by Jean Poiret \nCreative Team: Directed by Ben Saunders\nMusical Direction: Tammy Papps\nChoreography: Jacinta Vistoli \n\nLa Cage aux Folles began life as a stage play in 1973 and was adapted into a wildly popular French film premiering in 1978 which was remade as The Birdcage\, starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane\, in 1996. The musical opened on Broadway in 1983. \nIt is a wickedly funny musical farce about two gay men\, Georges and Albin\, who have had a relationship for over 20 years. The two men own a glamorous nightclub in St. Tropez where one is the star and the other the MC. Together they have raised Georges’ son\, the product of a one-night stand years ago. \nWhen Georges’ son\, Jean Michel\, brings home the daughter of a very conservative French politician and announces their impending marriage\, slapstick comedy ensues as everyone tries to pretend they are someone or something they are not. \nThe stuffy politician\, his wife\, and the innocent young couple who just want to get married provide an hilarious storyline while Georges and Albin define the best of friendship and love\, the kind that only gets stronger through the years. \nIn many ways\, this is an old-fashioned musical about old-fashioned family values…..with a twist! \n\nInformation Session: 11/11/2024\n7:45pm Maylands Church of Christ\, Portrush Rd Maylands \n\nAudition Information: \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:0\n\n\nDate:\n24/11/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n14:30 – 22:00\n\n\nAudition Information #:1\n\n\nDate:\n25/11/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n19:30 – 22:00\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:0\n\n\nRole Name:\nGeorges\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\na star; the heart of the show; mature and attractive (40 to 60); good singer;\nenergetic\, loving and caring; must move well.

SUMMARY:THE BOY FROM OZ
DESCRIPTION:Written By: By Arrangement with David Spicer Productions www.davidspicer.com.au Music and Lyrics by Peter Allen. Book by Nick Enright Original Production by Ben Gannon and Robert Fox \nCreative Team: DIRECTOR: Selena Britz\nMUSICAL DIRECTOR: Jane Feast\nCHOREOGRAPHER: Carmel Vistoli \n\nThe Boy From Oz is the most successful Australian musical ever and the first to make it to Broadway. It is a musical biography/tribute to the late great Peter Allen. Peter Allen was born in the outback Australian town of Tenterfield in 1944. He made his entertainment debut at the age of 5 impersonating Al Jolson. As a teenager he became a pop star and then toured Asia. There he met Judy Garland who took him to London where he met and become engaged to her daughter Liza Minnelli. In the US Peter enjoyed the highs of success by winning an Oscar\, selling out performances in Radio City Music Hall\, and receiving adulation when he returned to Australia. There were also plenty of lows … breaking up with his wife\, staging a Broadway flop\, the death of his partner and his own battle with illness. Peter Allen had an extraordinary life which producer Ben Gannon realized had the potential to become a magnificent musical and with Robert Fox they turned it into the smash hit it became. \nThe Boy From Oz is a class above all other ‘jukebox’ musicals. The late Nick Enright skillfully weaved his plot around the life and complexities of Peter Allen. The songs and lyrics sit easily with the rhythm of the piece and with the characters as they enter and re-enter his life\, be they dead or alive. It leaps\, as does Peter himself\, from past to present and back to past all within the familiar context of one of his energy-packed concerts. \n\nInformation Session: 03/06/2024\nMaylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street Maylands at 7:45 pm \n\nAudition Information: TRYBOOKING \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:0\n\n\nDate:\n16/06/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n2:30 pm to 10:00 pm at Maylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street\, Maylands\n\n\nAudition Information #:1\n\n\nDate:\n17/06/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n7:30 pm – 10:00 pm at Maylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street\, Maylands\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:0\n\n\nRole Name:\nPETER ALLEN (Male)\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n30\n\n\nRole Information:\nThe great Australian entertainer\, singer\, songwriter\, and dancer.

SUMMARY:THE BOY FROM OZ
DESCRIPTION:Written By: By Arrangement with David Spicer Productions www.davidspicer.com.au Music and Lyrics by Peter Allen. Book by Nick Enright Original Production by Ben Gannon and Robert Fox \nCreative Team: DIRECTOR: Selena Britz\nMUSICAL DIRECTOR: Jane Feast\nCHOREOGRAPHER: Carmel Vistoli \n\nThe Boy From Oz is the most successful Australian musical ever and the first to make it to Broadway. It is a musical biography/tribute to the late great Peter Allen. Peter Allen was born in the outback Australian town of Tenterfield in 1944. He made his entertainment debut at the age of 5 impersonating Al Jolson. As a teenager he became a pop star and then toured Asia. There he met Judy Garland who took him to London where he met and become engaged to her daughter Liza Minnelli. In the US Peter enjoyed the highs of success by winning an Oscar\, selling out performances in Radio City Music Hall\, and receiving adulation when he returned to Australia. There were also plenty of lows … breaking up with his wife\, staging a Broadway flop\, the death of his partner and his own battle with illness. Peter Allen had an extraordinary life which producer Ben Gannon realized had the potential to become a magnificent musical and with Robert Fox they turned it into the smash hit it became. \nThe Boy From Oz is a class above all other ‘jukebox’ musicals. The late Nick Enright skillfully weaved his plot around the life and complexities of Peter Allen. The songs and lyrics sit easily with the rhythm of the piece and with the characters as they enter and re-enter his life\, be they dead or alive. It leaps\, as does Peter himself\, from past to present and back to past all within the familiar context of one of his energy-packed concerts. \n\nInformation Session: 03/06/2024\nMaylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street Maylands at 7:45 pm \n\nAudition Information: TRYBOOKING \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:0\n\n\nDate:\n16/06/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n2:30 pm to 10:00 pm at Maylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street\, Maylands\n\n\nAudition Information #:1\n\n\nDate:\n17/06/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n7:30 pm – 10:00 pm at Maylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street\, Maylands\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:0\n\n\nRole Name:\nPETER ALLEN (Male)\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n30\n\n\nRole Information:\nThe great Australian entertainer\, singer\, songwriter\, and dancer.

SUMMARY:Guys & Dolls - Audition Information Night
DESCRIPTION:Director: Rebecca Kemp\nMusical Director: Jacqui Maynard\nChoreographer: Carmel Vistoli\nAssistant Choreographer: Barbara Nutchey\n\nSet in the bustling Manhattan of Damon Runyon’s short stories\, Guys and Dolls is a Depression era romantic comedy featuring crap games\, horse races\, gamblers\, show girls and the evangelist members of a downtown Mission.\nCon-man Nathan Detroit is seeking a new location for his notorious ‘floating’ crap game\, but he doesn’t have the dough he needs for a down payment. Enter Sky Masterson\, a high-rolling gambler willing to take on any honest bet with a high enough reward attached. Nathan bets Sky that he can’t take the “doll”\, of Nathan’s choosing\, on a date to Havana\, Cuba. When Sky agrees to the bet\, Nathan chooses uptight Evangelist Sergeant Sarah Brown\, head of Broadway’s Save-a-Soul Mission. Sky thinks he’s been duped\, but he’s in for even more of a surprise when his efforts to woo Sarah are so successful that he falls in love with her himself! Meanwhile Nathan is under pressure from his long time ‘fiancee’ and night club dancer\, Miss Adelaide\, to settle down and get married. What are the odds?\n\nRoles Available:\nMen\nSky Masterson: (Stage-age 30 to 45)\nA charming and self-assured gambler who is able to adapt to any situation but ready to reel off prepared anecdotes regarding his view of the world.

Very strong soprano voice.\n\nAdelaide (Stage-age 30 to 40)\nA strongly comic and classic show girl. A featured club singer and Nathan’s long-suffering fiancée who longs for quiet family life away from New York. Comic timing a must\, good dancing ability is a plus. Bronx accent desirable.
