EUROBEAT - ALMOST EUROVISION Northern Light Theatre Company Book by Craig Christie, Music and Lyrics by Craig Christie and Andrew Patterson Directed By: Brian Godfrey, Vocal Coach Blake Parham, It’s a musical banquet. It’s a glamourfest. It’s a political minefield. EUROBEAT – the Eurovision Musical is an original adaptation of the infamous Eurovision Song Contest. Set in Sarajevo and hosted by the glamorous Boyka and her tall, blond, pretty and dumb co-host Sergei they present for the enjoyment of the audience 12 acts representing an eclectic mix of countries. Whether it be the Swedish pop stylings of Avla, the Russian boy band KGBoiz, from the Hungarian triplets the Molnar Sisters with their powerful folk music (sung in Hungarian of course) to the heartfelt longing of the song for Ireland presented by Ronan Corr, audiences are treated to a smorgasbord of entertainment presented by a cast of 30 performers who sing, dance and whip audiences up into a frenzied state. In true Eurovision style at the end of the performances the audiences have the opportunity to vote (having been endowed with a nationality on the night and handed a voting form upon entry). The audience’s votes are tabulated and then counted down as each country’s votes are given out ’live via satellite’. The event is reinvented every night as the audience dictates who the winners are. Once they are identified by the end of the voting the winners return to the stage for a triumphant reprise of their winning entry.

Youthful energy, exuberance, angst and a sense of fun are the keys to this production. The more diversity in the cast the better so don’t be afraid to show us any special tricks / skills you might have during your audition. Below is a list of roles we are seeking to fill from auditions. No roles have been precast and all roles are available. Cast must be at least 18 years at the time of the first rehearsal in order to be eligible for auditions. Some of the roles below will be cast from the ensemble (as indicated) although the audition panel reserves the right to change their minds on this point. DANNY (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: Tenor D -high B. Good falsetto to high Db (optional) Audition song: You’re The One That I Want Requirements: Strong actor / singer / dancer Description: The leader of the ‘Burger Palace Boys’. A leading man who can play jock and sensitive kid at the same time. Charming, confident, but not entirely skilled at balancing his cool self with his emotional self. He has the potential to be a much more evolved human being than he is – but he’s not quite ready yet. He has to keep up appearances to his friends but doesn’t fully understand the emotional cost of putting (immature) friends before (budding) romance. KENICKIE (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: D – F# Audition song: Greased Lightnin’ Requirements: Strong actor / singer / dancer Description: He is the second in command of the Burger Palace Boys. He acts pretty tough and his relationship with Rizzo is likewise. He is sarcastic and always there with a quick quip. DOODY (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: D-G. Good falsetto to high Eb (optional) Audition song: Those Magic Changes Requirements: Actor / singer / dancer Description: He is the youngest (and perhaps smallest) of the gang.

ROGER (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: F- G Audition song: Mooning Requirements: Actor / singer / dancer Description: He is the gang clown who would do anything for a laugh. He is full of mischief and half-baked schemes. He also likes to moon people. SONNY (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: as per ensemble Audition song: We Go Together Requirements: Actor / singer / dancer Description: He thinks he’s a lady-killer. According to him, if any gal would go for one of the guys in the gang, they’d probably rather go with him. A real wheeler dealer. EUGENE (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: as per ensemble Audition song: We Go Together Requirements: Actor / singer / ensemble dancing Description: He is the class valedictorian and, as there is no better way to phrase it, your typical high school nerd. But he’s got high hopes. VINCE FONTAINE (stage age 35+) Vocal range: basically a non-singing role Audition song: as per ensemble Requirements: Actor / very little dancing Description: He is the (slightly cheesy/sleazy) D.J. at WAXX radio. He not only plays all the hits but at the school hop tries to hit on and make plays at all the girls. A signature trait is that there is no line from which he cannot construct a clever rhyme. Will be required to sing in finale. JOHNNY CASINO (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: A-C. Good falsetto to high C Audition song: Born To Hand Jive Requirements: Singer / ensemble dancing Description: He is the leader of one of the in-school rock bands who plays at the school hop. (Also in Ensemble). TEEN ANGEL (stage age 35+) Vocal range: E-B. Good falsetto to E Audition song: Beauty School Dropout Requirements: Singer Description: Usually cast as a heartthrob, teen dream, rock star, someone who would’ve made the girls swoon – could also be played with more of a gospel, preacher vibe. This role is open for interpretation. COACH CALHOUN (stage age 45+) Vocal range: basically a non-singing role Audition song: as per ensemble Requirements: Actor / some dancing Description: The basketball coach at Rydell High, a valuable member of Miss Lynch’s teaching staff. This character will be included in the school scenes and some ensemble numbers. SANDY (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: Soprano. A-D Audition song: Hopelessly Devoted To You / You’re The One That I Want Requirements: Strong actor / singer /dancer Description: A sweet, wholesome girl who has the potential to be less than sweet and wholesome should the need arise. Her innocence is from lack of experience but she is smart enough to size up those around her and figure out how their insecurities drive them to certain actions. When she finally realizes she should join, rather than beat “them” her transformation is complete proving that she can best even the most experienced of the Pink Ladies. Most importantly, however, she never loses her integrity and heart. RIZZO (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: Mezzo. A-C Audition song: There Are Worse Things I Could Do Requirements: Strong actor /singer /dancer Description: She is tough and sarcastic leader of the Pink Ladies. She is volatile, unpredictable and lashes out before she can be lashed at. But all of her anger and bluster covers up a vulnerable, damaged and lonely core. FRENCHY (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: Mezzo Audition song: Look At Me, I’m Sandra Dee Requirements: Actor /singer /dancer Description: She is the dreamer who, while not being the brightest bulb in the pack, has a heart of gold. She is very focused on a career in the beauty services industry and finds Rydell High the wrong place in which to pursue that. Her imagination is so powerful that she actually manifests a dream sequence where her choices in life are brought into very clear focus. MARTY (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: Mezzo. C-Db Audition song: Freddy My Love Requirements: Actor / singer /dancer Description: She is the “beauty” of the Pink Ladies and is receiving gifts from an older boy.

JAN (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: Mezzo. Bb-Bb Audition song: We Go Together Requirements: Actor / singer /dancer Description: She is the rather outspoken, pushy, always-hungry latest entry into the Pink Ladies. She is tolerated more than liked. She is very shy around the boys. PATTY (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: Mezzo Audition song: We Got Together Requirements: Actor /singer /ensemble dancing Description: She is a bubbly cheerleader who can bowl you over with her enthusiasm. As such, she is barely tolerated by the Pink Ladies. It would be helpful if she had “baton twirler” on her resume. CHA-CHA (stage age teens – early 20s) Vocal range: as per ensemble Audition song: as per ensemble Requirements: Actor / ensemble singing / strong dancer Description: She is a loud-mouthed interloper from another school. She fashions herself a great dancer. A fun step-out role during the school hop.

While on their family vacations, high school jock and basketball star Troy and brainy Gabriella - two teens who are worlds apart - meet. During a karaoke contest ("Start of Something New") they discover their love for singing, and an interest in each other. After vacation, Troy discovers that Gabriella is the new girl at East High. Still a bit inspired by their holiday vacation performance, Troy and Gabriella both decide to audition for the school musical. Troy's best friend Chad and Gabriella's new friend Taylor discourage them from carrying out their plans. Troy comes to his senses and immerses himself back into basketball and the championship ("Get'cha Head in the Game"). Taylor does some online research and discovers Gabriella is a scholastic superstar and quickly recruits her for the decathlon competition. Sharpay and Ryan - the ruling school play stars - are also gearing up for yet another starring role in the school musical, and they've made it very clear that everyone else better stay out of their way! Auditions begin and all the hopefuls try out for Ms. Darbus, East High's English and Drama teacher ("What I've Been Looking For"). Not knowing each other's plan, both Troy and Gabriella decide to secretly audition and sneak into the school theatre - but too late, the auditions have just ended. Kelsi, the show's student composer feels sorry for them, and at Troy's request, plays the song for them to sing together ("What I've Been Looking For" Reprise). Ms. Darbus just happens to hear their performance and gives them a call back. Well Sharpay is furious! How dare they break the "rules" of East High! The whole school agrees and everyone chimes in during a lunch break ("Stick to the Status Quo"). As everyone is busy practicing for call backs, Sharpay is plotting her revenge, the basketball team wants their star player back, and the scholastic team wants their new brainiac to help them win the decathlon. After Chad and Taylor's plan to win their friends back seems to have worked, Gabriella is crushed that Troy would turn his back on her and their singing dreams ("When There Was Me and You"). Eventually, Chad and Taylor feel terrible that they've manipulated their friends for their own selfish needs and confess to Troy and Gabriella - they put their heads together to help win the basketball game, the decathlon and hopefully get them over to the call backs just in time. Sharpay and Ryan pull off a polished performance ("Bop to the Top") and are a shoe-in for the starring roles. Once again, Troy and Gabriella arrive too late for their call back, due to Sharpay's conniving plans and are out of the running. But the whole school rallies behind them and they pull off a fantastic performance ("Breaking Free"). Sharpay's iciness melts away and the whole school comes together as winners ("We're All in This Together"). Roles Available: ALAN: Has a flair for couture. CATHY: A little too eager.

You name it, all the posh princess types are here, raising money for The Enchanted Forest which has been logged almost to extinction. Not that any of them could care less about the cause, of course – in fact if it weren’t for Brenda, Snow White’s passionately ‘green’ PA, they wouldn’t even know why they were there at all. It’s just another excuse to dress up to the nines and maybe, just maybe, ask that nifty mirror of Snow White’s if they might just be the prettiest in the land. But when the dreaded question is asked one too many times, the Mirror cracks – and demands that an end be put to this once and for all. The Beauty Quest to end all Beauty Quests is decreed, and everyone in the kingdom is invited to enter – even the trolls. What the primped and pampered glitterati do not realize, however, is that it’s not the beauty of their outsides that will be judged… Roles Available: Snow White - no longer a sweet young thing, Snow White has grown into a vain and selfish princess. Prince White - the hen-pecked husband of Snow White. Mirror - Snow White’s long-suffering mirror...a wise old soul who is sick to death of being asked who is the fairest of them all! Brenda - Snow White’s Personal Assistant (and a beauty school drop-out), Brenda is always fighting for a cause. Not exactly glamourous, but passionate with a heart of gold. Chambers, Chadwick & Chesterfield - competition officials/palace beuracrats. Beauty (from Beauty and the Beast) - Naturally beautiful, but a little shallow to say the least! Cinderella - after years of being worshipped by little girls everywhere, sadly Cinderella has let the whole fairy-tale princess thing go to her head. Rapunzel - can this girl talk about anything other than shampoo and hair styling? Sleeping Beauty - As above, and a slight problem with narcolepsy (random sleep attacks). Ugly Duckling - Once Upon A Time Land is a cruel place for anyone who is less than beautiful, and the Ugly Duckling has had to get by with his/her wicked sense of humour. Prince Charmings (1&2) - every kingdom has its own Prince Charming, but each of these guys is convinced he is the bravest, most handsome, and most eligible bachelor of all. Fairy Godmother - There have been a few fairy godmothers over the years, but this is the lady who started it all, when she turned Cinderella’s pumpkin into a royal coach. Bit of an old fusspot, but not quite as sweet as she looks. Alice in Wonderland - still hasn’t found her way back to the real world, but always on the lookout for a rabbit hole or a secret door that might just get her there! Puss in Boots - a very clever, witty cat. Not much interested in the beauty pageant itself, but happy to go along for the ride, if only so he can laugh at all the primping and preening princesses! Hagatha & Belladonna - wicked witches Glinda - good witch Catweazle & Hemlock - nasty wizards Gertie & Floss - menopausal fairy godmothers Neville - longsuffering fairy godfather Ugg - Head Troll Ogg, Igor, Boof & Fug – troublesome trolls 30 Speaking Roles There are also non-speaking chorus roles.
