Do
you have the talent to perform on Broadway but just don't have the background, experience
or even the big break that has been holding you back. If so, we may have your answer. We
are currently seeking 12 performers, 7 to star and 5 understudy/standbys, for a tribute
tour featuring some of Broadway's biggest hits. We ask that you be completely unknown, a
professional wannabe. We are not interested in employing professional actors or singers,
they have had their break it's time now for someone else to stand in the limelight. This
may lead to your big break in professional theatre or even the recording industry. We are
open to all voice types and training, however we are specifically looking for the
following:
2 Lyric Soprano: elements of classical and pop singing. Sings
briefly to a High E. Christine from Phantom of the Opera type of voice.
2 Coloratura Soprano: operatic training is a must, sings to High E.

baritone or tenor with a suitable low range from Low A Flat to High A Flat. Must have a
