12-25-11 – Portland, OR>Seattle, WA – Auditions for
Gypsy

Production Dates:

April 13 – May 6, 2012

About the musical:

Based loosely on the memoirs of burlesque artist Gypsy Rose Lee, this 1959 musical is about the ultimate pushy stage mother. The story begins in the 1920s as Rose pushes her two young daughters onto Uncle Jocko’s Kiddie Show, their first stop (so she believes) on the road to vaudeville fame. They set off across the country, living out of dilapidated hotels, never quite achieving the kind of stardom Rose has in mind, until once-shy Louise transforms herself into Gypsy Rose Lee. With well-known songs like “Let Me Entertain You,” “Together, Wherever We Go,” and “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” Gypsy occupies a much-lauded place in American musical theatre history. — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: Live Event

Clarinet Wanted For Band-Chicago IL – 1114567

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


11-28-11 – Chicago, IL>Milwaukee, WI – CANDY TOWN is a whitefaced, bowler-hatted musical group, playing original material which draws stylistically from Kurt Weill, Tom Waits and the Beatles…the presentation very theatrical, with elements of vaudeville and burlesque. We’ve been together for about a year, playing at Martyrs, Reggie’s, the University Club, the Beat Kitchen, the Everleigh Club, the Hungry Brain, the Ace Bar and the Viaduct Theater.

As this band is theatrically oriented, I direct it like theatre…and although I’ll want to showcase the particular strengths of the musicians I work with, I should note that I’m not looking for song-writing collaborators…I have too much material of my own which I’m eager to unpack. That said, it’s ensemble-driven in presentation, allowing the opportunity for the performers to be as wild or as subdued onstage as they always wanted to be when dreaming of show-biz, as children. — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: 1
