Get your voices warmed up and put your dancing shoes on for the upcoming Broadway Musical – Mame. Tryouts are scheduled scheduled for January 5th and 6th at the Second Story Playhouse at 7 pm. The cast will include some 20+ talented individuals. There are both singing and non-singing roles up for grabs.
You need not have anything prepared for the tryouts. We will be asking you to sing a bit from the title song and read a short passage from the dialogue. If you are unable to tryout at scheduled times, you may request a private tryout by calling Robert Lindberg at 665-0590.
There are ten males and ten females who have lines. The number of chorus members and dancers is unlimited. About half of the cast have solos and half have only dialogue. There are two roles for young boys. As you can see, there is a part for everyone.
The plot centers around a worldly aunt, who becomes a guardian for a young nephew and how this changes her life. Some of Mame’s wild adventurous spirit is inside everyone who lives for the moment and believes “life is a banquet”. Her life is turned upside down, but she still lives life to the fullest. The show takes place in the 1920’s will all the glamour and glitz of the time. Special songs include Mame, Open a New Window, If He Walked into my Life and We Need a Little Christmas.
