lovesick auditions
James Jannucci and I are holding auditions at the end of August for our new musical, lovesick. lovesick is a musical where passion becomes pathology and desperation becomes a license for radical transformation. The main character breakdowns are as follows:
- Julia Fine (female lead) – female in her mid 20's - early 30's, alto 1 – soprano 2; she is a smart, sarcastic, aspiring singer/songwriter who becomes obsessed with her former lover David Bloom.
- David Bloom (male lead) – male in his mid 20's - early 30's, tenor; a womanizer, he is funny and sexy but darkly manipulative. Guitar is a plus but not necessary.
- Amy McCallister – female in her mid 20's - early 30's, soprano; she is Julia's best friend but has a relatively sunnier disposition and better luck with the opposite sex.
- Dr. Elizabeth Kent - 20's to 50's female with educated but somewhat over-articulated speech; she is Julia's pretentious and secretly judgmental therapist.
- The Guru – vague European accent, tenor; a seriocomic role, he is a "doctor" who performs radical brain operations on women to transform them into perfect objects of desire.
