Casting Call for Teens for "Grease" Musical
Teen performers are invited to audition for "Grease" Musical. Please see the details below. About the project: Here is Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys’ and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as “Greased Lightnin’,” “It’s Raining on Prom Night” and “Alone at the Drive-In Movie,” recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An eight-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals, along with innumerable school and community productions, place Grease among the world’s most popular musicals. Additional info: Newcomers are welcome and encouraged to try out! You don't need to have any previous acting experience. Prepare a song that best showcases your vocal ability. You can play music without lead vocals on your phone or bring an accompaniment CD (karaoke without lead voices is okay). A capella auditions are also acceptable. There will be some readings from the script, and it's possible that there will be some simple choreography to run through. PERFORMANCES: Aug 8-10 & 15-17 If interested, please apply.
19 roles
The leader of the Burger Palace Boys; good-looking, strong and confident, with an air of easy-going charm.
New in town; sweet, wholesome, naive, cute, and innocent.
Leader of the Pink Ladies; tough, sarcastic and outspoken but vulnerable.
A dreamer; good-natured but not too smart, she is heavily made up, fussy about her appearance, particularly her hair. She can't wait to finish high school so she can be a beautician.
The 'beauty' of the Pink Ladies; pretty and looks older than the other girls but betrays her real age when she opens her mouth. She tries to act sophisticated.
Funny, loud, compulsive eater and awkward member of the Pink Ladies. Loud and pushy with the girls, but shy with boys.
The youngest of the guys; small, boyish and open, with a disarming smile and a hero-worshipping attitude towards the other guys.
The second in command of the Burger Palace Boys; tough-looking, tattooed, surly and avoids any show of softness. He has an offbeat sense of humor.
A member of the Burger Palace Boys; funny, he is a braggart and wheeler-dealer who thinks he's a real lady-killer.
The anything-for-a-laugh stocky type of boy; a clown who enjoys winding people up, he is full of mischief and is always dreaming up half-baked schemes and ideas.
A typical 'teen audience' disc jockey; slick, egotistical and fast-talking. He is also a veteran "Greaser".
The best dancer at St. Bernadette's; a loudmouth, she wins the dancing competition with Danny.
The class valedictorian; physically awkward, with weak eyes and a high-pitched voice. He's a typical teacher's pet- both smug and pompous, but gullible.
All-American, rock-star "Greaser" student at Rydell High, whose real name is Clarence.
A no-nonsense, serious, loud, English teacher.
A typical cheerleader; attractive, athletic, sure-of-herself, but can be given to bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm. She's a bit of a pain and unpopular with the Pink Ladies.
The club-jacketed, gum-chewing, hip-swinging girls' gang who hang around with the Burger Palace Boys.
A super-cool, DA-haired, hard-looking group of high school wheeler-dealers... or so they think.
