‘A Christmas Story’ The Musical
• Casting “A Christmas Story,” a musical.
Production states: “This classic holiday tale centers on a mischievous, bespectacled boy, Ralphie, who dreams of getting a BB-gun for Christmas. In the weeks before the big holiday, Ralphie, his friends and his family get into all kinds of situations— including run-ins with a bully with ‘yellow eyes,’ a tongue stuck to a flagpole, a bar of soap in the mouth, a garish leg lamp, a major award and a Chinese Christmas dinner. Based on the humorist Jean Shepherd’s novel ‘In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash,’ this is a tribute to the original, traditional, one-hundred-percent, redblooded, two-fisted, all-American Christmas.”

Staff: David
James, coord.
• Rehearses TBD in 2022 in NYC. • Seeking—Songbird: male, 25+, all eth-
nicities, a nightclub singer from the big band era of the 1940s and 50s. Unlucky in love, Songbird appears on stage, night after night, in smoke-filled piano bars and New York City night clubs, recounting through lyrics and verse, the romantic tales of his past. Songbird is a loveable old soul, a romantic at heart, a tuxedo performer, and one of the last true saloon singers from a time gone by. Dame Madame: female, 25+, all ethnicities, on the outside, appears to be a high society lady from the era of the 1940s and 50s, but beneath her expensive furs and pearls, she’s pure dame. Classy in appearance, she is intimidating to most men because of her obvious outward beauty, but on the inside, she’s a hopeless romantic that has become somewhat cynical that true love still exists. Often frequents the nightclub scene, drinks and curses like a sailor, and becomes captivated by the saloon singer who is performing his act on stage. Island Girl: female, 25+, all ethnicities, is a sweet natural beauty, kind in spirit, but subtly overly flirtatious. She is alluring to men because of her obvious feminine charms. The saloon singer, while on stage, recounts his first and only encounter with Island Girl where they met on the Isle of Capri some 20 years ago. It was a brief, but memorable, fling that ended abruptly when Island Girl’s husband discovered when the cat’s away, the mouse will play. • For an audition appointment email
