Breakdown

Seeking:

Very strong male and female dancer/singers for the ensemble and special chorus parts.

CHICAGO

Female/Male Chorus:
Ages 18+. Looking for strong dancers and singers. Several featured parts include:

Hunyak:
Accused of chopping off her husband’s head. She is actually innocent (one of the only ones), but because she only speaks Hungarian and refuses to plead guilty, she is found guilty and hanged. **This is a challenging role as all her lines are in Hungarian. Would like this actress to have a strong background in ballet.

Liz:
Killed her husband with a shotgun because he “popped” his gum.

Annie:
Found out her husband had several wives and killed him with Arsenic.

June:
Killed her husband with a carving knife after he found out she cheated on him.

Mona:
Killed her boyfriend after she found out he was sleeping around. Go-to-Hell

Kitty:
Kills her boyfriend in her apartment after coming home and finding him with two girls. She is wealthy and goes crazy telling everyone to go-to-hell.

Master of Ceremonies:
This person is responsible for introducing all the “Vaudeville Acts.” Must have strong speaking ability, lots of energy and presence. This person may double as a male/female dancer

Fred Casley:
Sleeping with Roxie Hart and is shot and killed. Must play a “regular guy” in the first scene but play an overly dramatic version of himself in the courtroom scene. This person may double as a male/female dancer

Sergeant Fogarty:
Police detective who interviews Amos after Roxie kills Fred. Typical “Chicago” cop who has been through this kind of thing many times. This person may double as a male dancer

Aaron:
Court appointed lawyer who tries to defend the Hunyak. He gets extremely frustrated because he can’t understand her language and she refuses to plead guilty. This person will double as a male dancer.

Harrison:
District Attorney who is prosecuting Roxie. This person will double as a male dancer.

Judge:
Plays the judge in the courtroom scene. This person will double as a male dancer.
