AUDITION FOR THE NJ PREMIERE of BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON!
BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON tells the story of America's first political maverick. A.J. kicked British butt, shafted the Indians and smacked down the Spaniards all in the name of these United States--who cares if he didn't have permission? An exhilarating and white-knuckled look at one of our nation's founding rock stars, BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON recreates and reinvents the life of "Old Hickory," from his humble beginnings on the Tennessee frontier to his days as Commander-in-Chief. It also asks the question, is wanting to have a beer with someone reason enough to elect him? What if he's really, really hot?
This wildly entertaining rock show is perfect for comedic actors and singers. BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON is an actor driven rather than design-dependent musical; it encourages breaking the fourth wall, audience participation, and rocking out! Got what it takes? Come and audition.
Seeking 11 Ensemble Driven comedic sexy beasts. (7 M, 4 F) (21 and over) And 1 Mature, well-behaved boy (Ages 7-12)
All actors must be adept with diverse performance styles - capable of broad yet sharp characterizations, as well as sudden beat shifts. Facility with deadpan comedy and vacant expressions is a must.
ALL AUDITIONS/REHEARSALS will take place in North Bergen NJ (25 minutes from NYC/Port Authority-NJ Transit Bus 127)
PERFORMANCES will be at HACKENSACK CULTURAL ARTS CENTER, NJ
