[NEohioPAL] Auditions for "Wicked Fun" - Concert of songs from "Wicked"

[Richard Zenk]

Equality Productions announces auditions for musical theater performers who
want to participate in a recorded virtual concert of "Wicked Fun" - Songs
from the musical "Wicked".   The recorded performances will be sung in a
cabaret-style. As the concert is a benefit, the roles are non-paid.

By August 1st, email the role for your audition, your theater resume, day
and time of your weekday evening and weekend afternoon conflicts from
8/5-8/31, and a video recording of one song to
equalityproductionscincy at gmail.com. All auditionees will be considered for
the role they chose as well as the other roles, including the ensemble.

The performers will have rehearsals with Kristi Hiner, the musical
director, and Richard Zenk, director on Zoom. Therefore, all auditionees
must have a high-speed internet connection, a webcam with a microphone, PC
speakers, and a room with a neutral-colored wall. Not all performers will
be required at all rehearsals.

ELPHABA: Age 16-35 with a vocal range: Mezzo-Soprano - F3 to F5
Elphaba is the main protagonist, who becomes known as the Wicked Witch of
the West. She is intelligent, honest, likable but misunderstood. Her
internal ‘goodness’ is juxtaposed to the oppression of the world around her
– a conflict she battles internally and externally.

GLINDA: Age 16-35 with a vocal range: Soprano – G3 to C6 (optional G6)
Glinda is a complex character, nowhere near as superficial as she seems at
first. She is as cunning as she is bubbly, a passionate, popular and
loveable individual who uses her intelligence and social standing to
manipulate her colleagues and friends.
Audition song: "Popular"  Link to instrumental:

THE WIZARD OF OZ -  Age 30+ with a vocal range: Baritone
The Wizard is a softly spoken, blindly confident, easily influenced,
superficial person. A metaphorical example of the corruption of power
through false representation, the wizard trades his morality for
popularity. His grand façade is a representation of his false power.
Audition song: "A Sentimental Man"   Link to instrumental:

If auditioning for the roles below or the ensemble, pick a Broadway song
that has an instrumental track on YouTube for your audition song.

MADAME MORRIBLE: Age 40+ Vocal Range: Alto – G3 to B4
Madame Morrible is a dark, conniving, and cunning character. Highly
manipulative, seductive and inherently evil, she has no internal conflict
as to the nature of her character.

FIYERO: Age 16-35 Vocal Range: Tenor – F3 to G5
Fiyero is a seemingly one-dimensional character but has significantly more
substance than his striking looks suggest. Social, affable, and lovable,
Fiyero is fun, smooth, and at times naive. He is intelligent and torn by
the social demands of vanity, peer pressure, and propaganda.

DR DILLAMOND: Age 30+ Baritone.
Dr. Dillamond is the moral compass. A teacher of life sciences and a
philosopher, he is warm, noble, and fatherly.
