<p class=MsoNormal>Brecksville Little Theatre will hold auditions for the
musical-comedy <b><i>Bells Are Ringing</i></b>, on November 17 & 18, 2009
from 7 pm to 9pm in Rooms 9 and 10 at Blossom School, 4450 Oakes Road,
Brecksville, OH 44141. All roles are open. The show is slated to run the
entire month of March, 2010, with rehearsals beginning January 4, 2010.
Singers, please bring two song selections, one ballad, one up-tempo, in your
key. Accompanist will be provided. Absolutely NO A Cappella or CD’s
will be allowed. Come dressed for movement. Director is Paul J. Virag, and
Music Director is Bob Day. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There are major parts available for 4 women and 6 men, as
well as a large ensemble chorus. This is a chorus intensive show, as they
appear as different characters throughout, as well as participate in almost all
of the songs, even those that are sung by the leads.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><i>Bells Are Ringing</i></b> is the charming musical/comedy
revolving around an answering service in the late 50’s. Ella Peterson
works for her cousin Sue as an answering service operator. The major rule of
the service is “Don’t get involved with the clients!”,
however, Ella keeps forgetting the word “don’t” and ends up
helping everyone she comes in contact with, falling in love in the interim.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><i>Bells Are Ringing</i></b> was a huge hit in the
50’s, earning its star, Judy Holliday, a well deserved Tony award. Ms.
Holliday recreated her stage role in the 1960 movie of the same name, starring
opposite Dean Martin and Jean Stapleton, who was also in the Broadway cast.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Songs from the show include “The Party’s
Over”, “Just In Time”, “I Met A Girl” and the
show stoppers “Drop That Name” and “I’m Going
Back”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you need to contact the director you may do so by calling
(216)798-4781.<o:p></o:p></p>
