Details

Summary

Fifteen director chairs are lined across the stage. On one chair the letters clearly read STAR, but other chairs don't have such positive outcomes written on them: PORN STAR,CHORUS, HOUSEWIFE, ACCOUNTANT, NUN, etc.

A group of young people arrive in New York City to seek their fame and fortune on Broadway. Full of hopes and dreams they start their journey on the bumpy road to stardom, knowing what the audience knows as well: there is a director's chair for each of them.

One by one they must accept their fates and take the chair that belongs to them.This touching, hilarious and at times gritty show follows them on their paths to success or failure, and the many places in between.

ZOE: Young, pretty, innocent. Contemporary voice required.

LARA: Strong and independent woman who owes everything she has to hard work. Strong belt required.

ROZ: Self confident and brassy. Classic 'Broadway' voice with strongbelt required.

GAYLA: Mature beyond her years, becomes a legit star on Broadway. Strong-willed. Excellent voice required (contemporary).

SARAH: Comedy character with strong 'personality' voice, angry, dirty, rebellious and suspicious of all those around her.

LEEZA: Eccentric performance artist with one-woman show. Blues/Jazz voice.

APRIL: Pretty, wide eyed, and optimistic to a fault. Strong belt with high soprano notes.

ADRIENNE: Elegant, sophisticated, from rich background. Mature voice with strong mix.

NATALIE: A spoiled rich girl. Strong mix required.

TARA: High energy firecracker from a poor neighborhood. She is always full of energy, and ready to have a good time. Rock belt voice.

PHOENIX: Laid back and boyish; a product of hippy parents, he never gets stressed out and takes life as it comes. Contemporary voice/poppy.

CASEY: Sexy and enterprising; originally from Texas, Casey moves to New York and wisely learns to use his boyish good looks to get whatever he wants. Contemporary voice.

J.B.: Witty and jubilant; born the youngest and gay in a family of seven brothers, J.B. used his humor and sarcasm to get him out of the south and uses it to make it in the big city.

NELSON: Cocky and arrogant. He's got the talent, he's got the good looks, and he knows it. Strong 'Broadway' baritone.

MICHAEL: All-round nice guy without much drive or self-esteem. Lyrical light baritone.
