Seeking 4 women and 1 man for the following roles:
(Please note some cast members will play multiple roles.)

Judy/Ginger: Tina's mother, approximately 28- 40, a simple June Cleaver-type housewife (with similarities to Ellen Greene in Little Shop of Horrors), who is transformed into Ginger, a Norma Desmond-type Broadway diva. F below middle C to B Flat one octave above middle C, legit style.

Sylvia St. Croix: The stereotypical "in-your-face" talent manager, who is obsessed with making Tina a star. For this role, they are looking to cast a man in drag. (There is no need to attend the audition in drag.) A one octave below middle C to E above middle C, Broadway Belt.

Myrna Thorn (Also plays Miss Block): A wannabe actress who had to settle for teaching 3rd grade, she is the direct or of the school play. Her integrity in casting is questionable.. E below middle C to B above middle C, Broadway Belt.

Miss Block (Also plays Miss Thorn): A lesbian reporter who wants to do a story about Ginger's past. This role is doubled with Miss Thorn.

Louise Lerman (Also plays Eve): The student who beats out Tina for the lead in the school play, she has limited talent and is larger than Tina. This role is played by an adult. Middle C to B Flat above middle C, Belt.

Eve (Also plays Louise Lerman): Efficient personal assistant to Broadway star, Ginger. She wants Ginger's life, and copies her every mannerism. F# below middle C to C above middle C, Belt.

Lita Encore: Judy's adoptive mother, a theatre critic with a poison pen, who hates musicals. An Ethel Merman-type with a strong belt. E below middle C to D one octave above middle C.
