Hudson Players auditions for The Producers
by Durbin, Mark H. 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Hudson Players Auditions for The Producers A Mel Brooks Musical Comedy Directed and Choreographed by Rich Jagunic Musical Director is Debra Burkhardt Audition Dates: February 18 & 19 - 7:00 p.m. Barlow Community Center 41 S. Oviatt St. Hudson, Ohio 44236 Performance Dates: April 27, 28, May 4, 5, 11, 12,13*,18 and 19 (8:00 p.m. curtain/*2 p.m. matinee) All Hudson Players auditions are open auditions with all roles available. No experience is necessary. For musicals please bring sheet music for the accompanist and prepare at least a 16 bar audition song. Musical auditions will also normally include a movement exercise and reading from the script. Please email info(a)hudsonplayers.com with any questions. The Producers Synopsis: Written by comedy master Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (who wrote the book for Annie), The Producers is truly a "boffo" hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards (including best musical) and wowing capacity crowds night after night on Broadway and on tour. Max Bialystock, the one-time king of Broadway producers, is hungry to strike it rich, and Leo Bloom, an accountant with dreams of someday becoming a theatre producer, discover that it could be more lucrative to produce a Broadway flop instead of a huge hit. They begin by combining a truly atrocious script with horrendous directors and talentless actors. However, when their new production, "Springtime for Hitler," turns out to be a smashing success, the plan is thrown off and the partners' lives are thrown into chaos. The Producers will have audiences roaring at the ridiculous accents, caricatures of all kinds, and show business inside jokes. When combined with 16 witty songs and outrageous dance numbers, this is sure to be a night of memorable entertainment! Characters: (The roles listed below are from the script. Ages can vary.) * Max Bialystock: The consummate con man. Naturally animated and bombastic, he is never at a loss for charm and manners. Age 40 to 55 (Range F#4 - A2) * Leo Bloom: An accountant by trade. Boring and mousy, he is a hesitant optimist who longs for something more and is dragged into the scheme by Max. Age 35-45 (Range F4 - A2) * Franz Liebkind: German loyalist playwright. From his lederhosen to his pigeon, Adolph, his love for the motherland is unmistakable. He is imposing, yet tender. Age: 35-55 (Range G4 - F2) * Roger Debris: New York's most flamboyant stage director. Surrounds himself with deliciously beautiful clothing, people and possessions. In a crowd, it would be impossible to miss him. Age: 50-60. (Range G4 - G32) * Carmen Ghia: Roger Debris' faithful assistant. He is severe in looks and in passion for Roger. He may appear younger than he actually is thanks to skilled surgeons. Age 25-40 (Range A4 - C3) * Ulla Inga Hansen Benson Yonsen Tallen-hallen Syaden-svanson: A young and hopeful actress. Though her beauty might eclipse her talent, Ulla is passionate about life and art. Quite a clueless seductress in some ways. Age: 20-30 (Range G5 - A3) * Ensemble: Accountants, storm troopers, Bavarian peasants, first-nighters, Little old ladies, chorus girls, girl prisoners and usherettes.
