Parts Available |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
VICE PRINCIPAL DOUGLAS PANCH The Vice Principal should be a very
good improv actor; singing is very minimal but the comic timing is essential
as he does a lot of adlibs. (Male, 30-40, Baritone):
After five years absence from the Bee, Panch is back as word pronouncer and
judge. The "incident" at the 20th Annual Bee is almost totally
forgotten and he is in a good place now, thanks to a high-fiber diet and
Jungian analysis. He is infatuated with Rona. Good improvisational skills
required. Audition Piece:
THE RULES. Download the Audition sheet music here. |
||||||||||||||||||||
|
WILLIAM BARFEE A heavy set, sloppy character who
eventually wins the contest.Singing does not have to be excellent but he
needs to move well on stage. (Male, 18-30,
Baritone, character age 12): A Finalist last year, but eliminated because of
health reasons (someone put peanuts in the brownies). His famous "Magic
Foot" method of spelling had boosted him to spelling glory, and even if
he only has one working nostril, a touchy personality, a severe peanut
allergy, and the mistaken belief that he looks good in shorts. Socially
awkward and indignant. Audition
Piece: MAGIC FOOT. Download the Audition sheet music here. |
||||||||||||||||||||
|
MITCH MAHONEY The ex-con comfort counselor. I was
hoping to find an African-American who can sing a gospel type of song. He
will be doing many other characters though and so we need someone who can act
as well. If we cannot find a black guy, a thug type of guy would be a good
concept too. I picture him in a leather jacket and torn jeans so like a biker
type of guy would work. (Male, 20-40,
Tenor): The Official Comfort Counselor, Mitch is doing his community service
with the Bee, and he might find he has the knacks for hugs and handing out
juice boxes. Audition Piece:
PRAYER OF THE COMFORT COUNSELOR. Be
familiar with the I LOVE YOU SONG. Download the Audition sheet music here. |
