Telsey + Company is holding an open call for singers for WICKED in Manhattan on Saturday, November 8.  The open call is for future replacements for the North American companies of WICKED:  Broadway, California, First National Tour, and Second National Tour. 

They're seeking strong singers of all ethnicities for the principal roles of Elphaba, Glinda, Fiyero, Boq, and Nessarose.  The open call is Saturday, November 8 from 10:00am until 3:00pm at Telsey + Company, 315 West 43rd Street, 10th Floor, between 8th Avenue and 9th Avenue.  Prepare 16 bars of a contemporary musical theater song showing range.  For Glinda, prepare 16 bars of a musical theater song showing legit soprano.  Bring sheet music.  Bring a photo or snapshot and resume stapled together.  Equity and non-Equity singers are welcome to attend.

Winner of 20 major awards including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards, WICKED is the untold story of the witches of Oz.  Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz.  One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood.  The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular.  WICKED tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.

Declared "A Cultural Phenomenon" by Variety, WICKED currently has productions in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Stuttgart, Melbourne and on a North American tour.  Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, WICKED has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Winnie Holzman.  The production is directed by Joe Mantello with musical staging by Wayne Cilento.  WICKED is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.
