"A Christmas Story: The Musical" Seeks Boys & Girls
Audition for "A Christmas Story: The Musical". Seeking Kids ages 8-18. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: This musical, which received rave reviews on its Broadway run, is based on the movie classic that runs round-the-clock on television every Christmas. Set in the 1940s in the fictional town of Hohman, Indiana, the musical follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker and his quest for the Holy Grail of Christmas gifts—an Official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Rebuffed at every turn with a similar echoing response, Ralphie plots numerous schemes to achieve his desperate desire for the coveted BB gun. All the iconic scenes from the movie are here: Ralphie’s friend, Flick, getting his tongue stuck to the flagpole; his brother, Randy, getting dressed in his snowsuit; the bullies, Farkus and Dill; the leg lamp award; the bunny suit; Christmas dinner; and many others. Additional info: If your child is auditioning, please prepare using the “All Kids” cut. See the attachment. If interested, please apply.
10 roles
(stage age 9-10 / vocal range = F#3 to D5) A bright, winsome, mischievous 5th grade boy... Not a smart-aleck or overly precocious, Ralphie's imagination drives several scenes. The actor playing this role carries several songs; he must be an excellent singer (high belt, unchanged voice) and confident stage presence.
(stage age 7-8 / vocal range = F#3 to D5) Ralphie's younger brother, he is cute, lovable and a bit whiny. The actor playing this role must be a confident singer, a fluent reader, and have a strong stage presence and a sense of humor.
(stage age 9-10) One of Ralphie’s classmates and best buddies; Flick is the guinea pig in the flagpole-licking experiment. Sings some solos, so should be a confident singer and comedic actor. *Unchanged voice.
(stage age 9-10) One of Ralphie’s classmates and best buddies; Schwartz becomes the scapegoat when Ralphie utters an unmentionable word. Sings some solos, so should be a confident singer. *Unchanged voice.
(stage age 12-13) A textbook example of a schoolyard bully, Scut is loud, obnoxious and intimidating. This truant is a year or two older than Ralphie and his friends, and wears a perpetual scowl under his coonskin cap. He always appears at the most inopportune time to harass his victims.
(stage age 9-10) Grover is Farkus's toady, and is always at his side. Younger and smaller than Farkus, Grover delights in being tethered to his "hero". His rapid-fire belly laughs, always heard with Farkus's threats, make them the scourge of the neighborhood.
An additional 4-6 students who will also be in Ralphie’s class, will be featured in several major scenes and songs. Kids should be strong singers who can hold harmonies and present their own stage personality.Tap dance a plus!
