About:


SHOUT!  Created by Phillip
George and David
Lowenstein, features
terrific new arrangements of such classic tunes as "To Sir With
Love," "Downtown," "Son of a Preacher Man,” “ Shout,"
“Goldfinger” and many more.


SHOUT! is the mod musical
magazine that brings back the beautiful birds and smashing sounds that made
England swing in the 60's. 


SHOUT! travels
in time from 1960 to 1970 chronicling the dawning liberation of women. Just as
Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, and Cilla Black, were independent women with
major careers, English and American women were redefining themselves in the
face of changing attitudes about gender. 


SHOUT! (and
its all-female cast) reflects that through the unforgettable music of the time.
With a shimmy and shake, the songs are tied together by hilarious sound bites
from the period -- from 60's advertisements to letters answered by an advice
columnist who thinks every problem can be solved with a "fetching new hair
style and a new shade of lipstick."

 

Cast: 5 women


BLUE GIRL - Female, 20-30 yrs old - Range: F3 - F5. A blue-blooded
fashion model. Sophisticated, poised, and cool. She is vain and not
particularly friendly.

 

GREEN GIRL - Female, 30-40
yrs old - Range: F3 - F5.  A good-time girl. Blousy, middle-class,
and zany. She is a bit frayed at the edges, and hopelessly single. A comedian
of sorts.

 


 
  
  ORANGE GIRL - Female, 35-45 yrs old - Range: F3 - B5.  The
  "mother" of the group. Domestic and maternal, she is wise, soulful,
  and mature. Slowly asserting her new-found independence. 
  

  RED GIRL
  - Female, 18-25 yrs old - Range: F3 - G5. 
  The "baby" of the group, she is an exciting blend of
  youthful contradictions. Quirky, enthusiastic, and naïve. A hopeless romantic
  who is insecure about her looks. 
  

  YELLOW
  GIRL - Female, 25-35 yrs old - Range: F3 - E5. A loud,
  uninhibited American girl driven by her emotions.  She is a ray of sunshine with a surprising
  vulnerability.  Processing a big rock
  diva belt.
