Brief Synopsis:
Anything can happen in a wedding chapel in Las Vegas...and does! From a couple getting married by the King himself as revenge on their exes, to arrogant, aging stars tying the knot as a publicity stunt, to a ceremony that really needs to happen before the police arrive, to the nuptials of the wedding chapel owner herself, what happens in Vegas...is hilarious!

Other information:
- Email
audition14@roverdramawerks.com for an appointment time, and access to a script will be made available to you. Be familiar with the script before coming to auditions.
- MEN need to prepare 16 bars of an Elvis song to sing. The greater your impersonation of the King, the better (no costumes please!). If you are not a singer please do not allow this to dissuade you from auditioning, as only the character of JOHN really sings, but the director would like to hear all men sing.
- Be prepared to read scenes from the script.
- Please bring a resume and head shot.
- References may be required.
- Actors and technicians will receive stipends.
- Rehearsals will be in Plano and will begin on or around the week of November 8. There will be a rehearsal break over the holidays.
