Additional Materials
LORT B+ - Rep - Shows will run in repertory and Tuacahn is seeking actors to perform in all three shows.
"Frozen"
Seeking:
[ELSA]
20s – Poised, regal and reserved, Queen Elsa of Arendelle lives in fear
of her dangerous magical powers. In order to protect those she loves,
especially her sister Anna, she closes herself off from the world and
tries to suppress her ever-growing powers. Strong belter.
[ANNA]
20s – Optimistic, enthusiastic, quirky Princess of Arendelle. Naturally
funny, more daring than graceful, she is courageously fearless. Her
greatest flaw – and her greatest strength – is her faith in love. Strong
belter with soprano/mix.
[OLAF] 20s – A big-voiced snowman
created by Elsa’s magic, Olaf is pure innocence with an outgoing
personality, big heart, and impeccable comic timing. Bari-tenor.
[KRISTOFF]
20s – A-rough-around-the-edges, handsome outdoorsman and ice-cutter who
sells his product to the kingdom of Arendelle. An orphan, raised by the
Hidden People, his best friend is Sven, a reindeer, for whom he
provides a voice so they can have conversations. Anna’s mountaintop
mission brings them closer together that leads them to falling in love.
Baritone.
[HANS] 20s – an extremely handsome royal from a
neighboring kingdom, Hans is the youngest of thirteen brothers which
made him feel practically invisible - and Anna can relate. Smart and
chivalrous, he is also cunning and keeps his true ambition hidden.
Tenor.
[WESELTON] 50s – what he lacks in stature he makes up for
in petulance. When he learns of Elsa’s secret, he tries to turn her own
kingdom against her - anything that might help him exploit Arendelle’s
tradable goods. Small in stature.
[PABBIE] (30s/50s) – Ageless, ancient, wise, charismatic and gentle patriarch of the Hidden Folk. Baritone.
[OAKEN]
(40s) – Fun-loving, teddy-bear, family-man proprietor of Wandering
Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna. Excellent improv skills and comedic
timing. Tenor.
[SVEN] - is a reindeer of few words, fiercely
loyal pal to Kristoff, and loves giving the ice harvester a hard time.
Look for a performer with good comic timing and terrific physical acting
skills who can devise a strong movement vocabulary to bring this furry
charmer to life.
"Anastasia"
Seeking:
[ANYA]
(mid 20s): When we first meet Anya she is a lost soul but with great
strength, pride, and dignity. As the story progresses she begins to
discover her sense of self and the possibility that she may be the
missing daughter of Tsar Nicholas. Possesses a sense of humor, wit, and
determined spirit. Her transformation into Anastasia should be
breathtaking. Soprano with a very strong, controlled belt. Vocal range:
A3-Eb4.
[DMITRY] (mid 20s – late 20s): An opportunist trying to
make it on the streets of Russia by selling stolen objects from the
Tsarist past. He is the prince of St. Petersburg’s black market. He
creates the scheme to find an Anastasia impersonator in order to gain
the reward for her safe return. He is smooth, persuasive and a real
operator. Has a sense of danger, edginess, and charm. Not a typical
romantic leading man although he and Anya eventually fall in love.
Baritenor. Vocal range: A2-A4.
[DOWAGER EMPRESS] (late 50s –
late 60s): She is the formidable and imperious grandmother of Anastasia.
Anastasia is her favorite grandchild, and she loves her with all her
heart. She never truly gives up the belief that her granddaughter might
be alive but finally after years of enduring Anastasia pretenders she
becomes hardened and bitter. It is only when she meets Anya that her old
spirit begins to return. Has elegance, beauty, and a regal bearing.
Alto, very comfortable singing. Vocal range: F3- Bb4.
[VLAD]
(mid 40s - early 50s): Before the revolution, Vlad was a minor
functionary at the imperial court. He is Dmitry’s right-hand man and
because of his romantic relationship with Lily he arranges a meeting
between Anya and the Dowager Empress. Has wit, style and is a character
comedian with panache and generosity of spirit. He cares deeply for both
Anya and Dmitry and doesn’t want either of them to get hurt. Baritone.
Vocal range: A2-F4.
"Jersey Boys"
Seeking:

a strong plus; a wiseguy; a tough, natural born leader with appealing
bad boy quality.
[FRANKIE VALLI] (Male Identifying 20-35) 5’9”
or shorter - a strong tenor with sweet and strong falsetto and be able
to sing in the style of Frankie Valli; strong tenor to high A or Bb plus
strong falsetto up to treble G; charismatic and charming; comfortable
with narrative text and has a gritty side as well as a polished veneer;
comfortable with traditional four-part harmonies.
[NICK MASSI]
(Male Identifying 30-40) strong bass/baritone voice; comfortable with
traditional fourpart harmonies; comfortable with narrative text; a quiet
