SEEKING FUTURE REPLACEMENTS

NOTE Seeking an ensemble of strong comedic actors, who can make bold choices and who are not afraid to go there.  Actors must have strong vocal abilities and be comfortable around the “C” word.  Actors are not necessarily required to mimic the film directly, but they should strive to capture the nuanced essence of the original performances combined with a strong comedic take.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter:

Caucasian man, 40s – 50s. Intelligent psychiatrist with a taste for all things of class and high society, not to mention all things human.  Think evil Gilbert & Sullivan.  Tenor/baritenor to A, with strong lower register.  Star names a plus.

Clarice Starling

Caucasian woman 25 – 35 A mix of tough and sexy.  Actress must be able to do a West Virginian accent.  Belt/mix to Eb.  Star names a plus.

Buffalo Bill

Caucasian man, 30s – early 40s. Role for an actor with an interesting and unusual look and/or energy.  Must be extremely strong actor who can do a Midwestern accent.  Baritone to Ab, with a strong lower register.

Catherine Martin / Lamb

Caucasian woman 20s – 30s. Seeking a high belter with strong soprano.  Strong comedic actress sought.  Larger physical build a plus, but not necessary.
