Auditions of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN at Silhouette Productions
by Douglas Bailey via NEohioPAL 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

ANNIE GET YOUR GUN scored a bulls eye when it returned to Broadway in 1999, starring Bernadette Peters and sporting a revised libretto by Tony, Oscar and Emmy winner Peter Stone. As Newsday reported, Stone's revisions 'are sweetly ingenious, and the show is a dream.' Stone reshaped the 1946 book to create a Wild West show-within-a-show that frames the ageless 'Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better' love story of sharpshooters Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. Stone has added a secondary romance between the younger sister of Frank's bothersome assistant Dolly, and a boy who is (to Dolly's horror) part Native American. 'The book has been updated in ways that pass p.c. muster,' reported Time Magazine, 'without losing all the fun.' Joined to the new book, of course, is that amazing Irving Berlin score, featuring hit after hit after hit. 'Irving Berlin's greatest achievement in the theater,' wrote the New York Post, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN 'will always be a musical for the ages, one of the Broadway theater's enduring triumphs.' Produced by Charlotte Mirabile Directed by Douglas F. Bailey II Musical Direction by Elias Manos Choreography by Jen Justice WHEN: July 19th and 20th from 7-9:30 PM NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY PRODUCTION DATES 10/13- 10/22 WHERE: Shore Cultural Center Room 241 WHAT TO PREPARE: One 32 bar song in the style of Irving Berlin, and a joke or short comedic monologue.

Outrageous '80s flair sparkles under the mirror ball in Xanadu, a laugh-out-loud musical based on the cult-classic film starring Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly. Greek muse Kira descends from Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, California to inspire Sonny, a struggling artist, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time: the first ROLLER DISCO! But when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, two of her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation, and chaos abounds. Xanadu has something for everyone: ridiculous fun on wheels, and an inspirational story at its big, mythological heart reminding us to explore our human experience through art and to persist in following our dreams... despite perceived limitations from others or from within ourselves. So pop open a Tab, lay back in your stretchy stirrup pants, and watch as your '80s radio mixtape magically rolls to life on stage! Nominated for two Tony awards including Best Musical and Best Book, Xanadu's legendary, chart-topping score regales with memorable tunes such as Magic, Evil Woman, Have You Ever Been Mellow, and Strange Magic. Book by Douglas Carter Beane Music & Lyrics by Jeff Lynne & John Farrar CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS Clio/Kira (pronounced CLY-oh/KEE-rah) Muse of History, and leader of the muses. She comes to Earth to help the mortal Sonny Malone in hopes of fulfilling Zeus' prophecy: "that one day soon she will inspire a creation so wondrous that she will be granted the gift of Xanadu." She ends up falling in love with Sonny, an act forbidden by the gods, and in turn must endure the wrath of her father Zeus. The actor playing Clio/Kira spends almost the entire duration of the musical in roller skates. Sonny Malone Handsome and "very 1980's." He is a struggling artist who, when we first meet him, is working on a mural of the Nine Muses. But what he really wants is to open "an apex of all the arts" - a roller disco. He falls in love with Clio, disguised as Kira, as she attempts to help inspire him in his art. The actor playing Sonny Malone must be able to move well in roller skates. Danny Maguire A very professional, very successful businessman who used to be a clarinet player but gave up on his dreams to become a real estate mogul. He was once in love with a Southern belle named "Kitty" (actually Clio in disguise) who left him because he refused to open the "Xanadu," a theater he built especially for her. Melpomene (pronounced melp-OH-muh-nay) Muse of Tragedy. As the eldest of the Muses, she resents that Zeus made Clio - and not her - leader of the Muses. She plots revenge against Clio in the form of a curse to make her fall in love with the mortal Sonny Malone, and as a result be condemned to eternal damnation in the netherworld. Calliope (pronounced cal-ee-OH-pay) Muse of Epics. Quirky sidekick to Melpomene. She is equally devious and listens closely to her sister's direction. Erato (pronounced AIR-ah-toh) Muse of Lyrics Euterpe (pronounced you-TER-pay) Muse of Music Thalia (pronounced TAHL-ee-ah) Muse of Comedy Terpsichore (pronounced terp-SIH-ker-ee) Muse of Dance Danny's Younger Self Featured dancer in "Whenever You're Away From Me" The Ensemble The Greek Chorus, Sirens, Tap Dancers, Andrews Sisters, Swing Dancing Crowd, The Tubes Band, Rock and Roll Crowd, and various characters in Greek Mythology
