Breakdown
GODSPELL
Director - John Fanelli
Musical Director - Bill Stanley
REH: 6/29/15; OPENS: 7/9/15; CLOSES: 8/9/15
seeking:
Jesus - Male, high Tenor G#; the driving force of the show. The one with the most energy, humor, and will-power. Gentle but with strength. The type of person others naturally follow.
Judas/John the Baptist - Male, Baritone E. Must portray attributes of both biblical characters; he is Jesus' right-hand man and most devoted disciple and then doubter and -- ultimately -- the betrayer. Charismatic, like Jesus, but in a revolutionary way. The most serious of the group, but must still possess a good sense of physical comedy.
Listed below are the vocal ranges of the musical numbers. Please use this as a type of character breakdown since all Ensemble members will be addressed by their actual names. All Ensemble actors must have experience with harmony and improv. Any special tricks, ability to play musical instruments, or overall personal quirks are encouraged!
Day by Day - Mezzo Soprano
Learn Your Lessons Well - Mezzo Soprano
Bless the Lord - Soprano, High A
All Good Gifts

must be strong dancers in the style of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers
seeking:
Ginger: late 20’s-mid 30’s (able to play 20 at top of play). A vibrant, driven
upbeat young girl whose boundless energy and ambition is focused on success at
all costs. In Act 2, a Hollywood star at the top of her game, fighting the status quo
sometimes to the exclusion of her personal life.
Lela: Ginger’s mother: early 40’s. A strong and independent woman for the times.
Fiercely protective of her daughter, her biggest fear is that Ginger’s success will
mean losing her.
Woman #3: mid 20’s-40. Plays a variety of roles, including Martha May (Texas
dance champion), Louise (Ginger’s dresser and personal assistant), and various
Broadway and Hollywood stars including Ethel Merman, Bette Davis, Marlene
Dietrich and others.
Man # 1: early 30’s-early 40’s. Plays Ginger’s first husband Jack (an aging
vaudevillian) and Hermes Pan (famed Ginger/Fred choreographer), as well as
Jimmy Stewart and various others.
Man # 2: late 20’s-early 40’s. Plays Fred Astaire, Marcus (dance contestant),
Jack Briggs (one of Ginger’s husbands) and various others.
Man # 3: early 30’s-early 40’s. Plays Joe (all around studio hand), Bill McMath
(Lela’s first husband/Ginger’s father), Bobby (dance contestant), and Lew Ayers
(another of Ginger’s husbands).
