It might be helpful to detail the roles to be cast (I know you've mentioned the lead characters, but that doesn't really tell us much), whether there's a chorus, vocal ranges required, other skills you want if relevant (ie. dance styles, accent, etc) and what you want to see/hear at the audition.

Thank you 'Musical Mum'

ENSEMBLE
The show offers wonderful opportunities for members of the ensemble to develop strong characters with continuity throughout the story. Bright cameos abound in the township peppered with an eccentric & eclectic community. All ensemble members will have lines in the show and some will have solos. There are many big company numbers.
The ensemble will need to work energetically to bring the townsfolk to life in a series of company scenes and musical numbers.

As a comedy, the production can push beyond realism in design & characterization – exaggerating and maximizing the potential for visual playfulness alongside the script’s wonderful dialogue & plotline.

We want a creative, enthusiastic, multi-talented team ready to work for the fun & theatricality in every scene.
