Auditions: Monsters! A Midlife Musical Meltdown | Event in Hanover | AllEvents.in About the event Auditions: Monsters! A Midlife Musical Meltdown
Director Andrea Stephenson will hold auditions at 7 p.m., Monday, March 25 and Tuesday, March 26 (if call-backs are needed, they will be at 7 p.m., March 27) at the Hanover Little Theatre, 360 Blooming Grove Road. Monsters! A Midlife Musical Meltdown, which captures the humor, agony and insight experienced at life’s milestones, will be on stage June 7-9 and 13-16.

Auditioners should come prepared to sing a song from any musical, choosing something that they’re comfortable singing and that shows their voice in its best light. They may perform to a track or bring sheet music (a pianist will be available). Auditioners will also do cold readings from the script and some movement so dressed comfortably.

The director is also on the look out for musicians to help bring the show to life.

Characters

Samantha: Age, 40; vocal range, mezzo-soprano or soprano (needs a wide range). A woman turning 40 who wants to change her life and do all the things she always dreamed of doing. First, she has to come to terms with her "monsters."

Mother: Age, around 60; vocal range: alto or mezzo-soprano. Samantha's mother is well put together and overly concerned about what other people think.

Apathy (one of Samantha’s monsters): Age, N/A; vocal range, soprano (needs a wide range). She tries to convince Samantha that changing her life is not worth the bother.

Fear (one of Samantha’s monsters): Age, N/A; vocal range, alto or mezzo-soprano. She tries to convince Samantha that changing her life is too terrifying and dangerous.

Body (one of Samantha’s monsters): Age, N/A, vocal range, tenor. Samantha's third monster — the only male — tries to convince Samantha that she should be more concerned about her looks and how her body is aging than following her dreams.

Birthday Girl: Age, 20s; vocal range, alto or mezzo soprano. She seems to be a college-aged psychology student, but there's more to her than meets the eye.

In this musical, Samantha who is turning 40 wants to quit her Wall Street job and go for a soul-searching adventure in Machu Picchu. Despite her resolve, her insecurities descend on her like a pack of demons, who want to derail her new ambitions and to protect their own demon status. Samantha is dragged into a hilarious showdown of wills and determination, but in the end, she wins, with a revelation that shocks and delights her (and the audience). Charged with energetic music and side-splitting lyrics, MONSTERS asks: Have you faced your demons? We can’t necessarily destroy them, but we can laugh at them and put them in their place.
