Seeking:

Ensemble Male Singers:

For the following chorus parts including:

Ike, Slim, Fred, Guy: All the guys are African American, rough around the edges, look like they have worked outdoors, 20s and 30s, singer/dancers

Cord Elam: African American, late 30s, or 40s. U.S. Marshall, earthy, tough. (but would be great if he could also be part of the men’s ensemble, so needs to be a dancer as well).

Ensemble Female Singers:

For the following chorus parts including:

Vivian, Kate, Virginia, Ellen: All the girls are African American, should be attractive, look like they’ve milked a cow or two, in their 20s, singer/dancers

Gertie: African American, 20s, pretty in an over the top way; rival for Curly’s affections.
