REHEARSALS:

SEEKING:

Seeking dynamic entertainers/actors/singers/dancers - strong triple threats. This show is designed to be high energy and engaging for our audience and we are looking for performers who can carry the energy throughout the performance.

Roles are open to performers of all races, gender identities, sexual orientations, body types, and abilities.

Most of the cast will be adults (18+), but younger actors may be considered. All roles are open and described below.

CHARACTER INFORMATION:

There will be no ensemble in this show.

We will be casting a small, but mighty cast of about 6-10 people. Cast members will be on stage throughout most of the show and serve as both soloists and back up. Think SIX: The Musical, but with holiday songs!

All cast should be strong soloists as well as back up dancers/singers and be able to learn and hold harmony with ease. All cast should also be confident performers who are comfortable interacting with the audience.

Charlie Price has reluctantly inherited his father's shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father's legacy and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola, a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos.
