Casting Equity actors for roles in "Beautiful Jolie Gabor, Her Glamorous Three Daughters, and Always the Happiness if Life." This is an Off-Broadway developmental work session.

Synopsis: Expansive and lush, Beautiful Jolie Gabor, Her Glamorous Three Daughters, and Always the Happiness Is Life is a musical fantasy by 5-time Tony Award nominee Michael John LaChiusa that traces the history of the first family who became famous for being famous. Examining society’s fascination with celebrity culture, Beautiful Jolie Gabor centers on family matriarch Jolie Gabor, a Hungarian WWII immigrant who voraciously creates a life where persecution can never affect her family again. In the choices she makes and the not-so-truthful stories she spins, Jolie must answer the most telling question: What is the cost along the way, and then, what is the cost at the end?
