SEEKING
FEMALE SINGERS WHO MOVE WELL
Mid 20s to Late 50s – Citizens of modern day Tel Aviv and ancient Jerusalem, they sing and support Tirzah in the telling of her story. Seeking excellent singers who can also sing in the spiritual and world-music genre, these women move well with a sense of rhythm and style. ALL CHARACTERS ARE MIDDLE EASTERN OR AFRICAN, AND ARE OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES. Knowledge of Hebrew is a plus. All vocal ranges
NOTE: Based on the Old Testament’s Song of Songs, LOVE SICK is a new musical with an original world-music score. It tells the story a young wife, Tirzah, who is in a passionless marriage and discovers she has an unseen admirer. Intrigued, she enters into a mysterious and fervent love affair, finding herself on a dizzying journey of sexual and personal empowerment. The ensemble functions in various roles in “reality,” as well as representing Tirzah’s inner thoughts, and commenting on the action.
PREPARATION
Females: Please prepare a song in the spiritual, middle eastern, or world-music canon, as the score of the show is highly influenced by middle-eastern harmonics. Must demonstrate vocal prowess and range – seeking strong musicians with a knowledge of this style of music. Bring picture and resume
