Audition Sign-Up

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:

Actors of all races, ethnicities, sizes, abilities, and genders (conforming and non-conforming) are highly encouraged to audition. While there are no specific dance needs, the ability to move well is needed. The director and musical director are looking for strong actors who are capable of the demanding music needs; bringing the storytelling, character needs, and vocals to a strong performance level. 

ALL CHARACTERS ARE OPEN TO ACTORS OF ALL ETHNICITIES AND AGE (over 18)

Age ranges- the script calls for most of the cast to be college aged. Casting will be dependent on those that audition. So, audition. Please do not overthink the age part. What is most important is the group dynamic and believing that they are close friends that can pass as college students. They should be young at heart, willing to try new and crazy things, and have awesome comedic timing. 

CHARACTERS:

(note: some may play multiple characters) 

Ash (Tenor/Baritone): The hero and iconic character of the musical. This devoted S-Mart housewares employee evolves over the course of the show from a cowardly college student to a wisecracking deadite slayer (Deadites are a type of undead, parasitic spirit or demon that possess the living and deceased, creating monstrous ghouls or hellish zombies) with his detachable hand chainsaw and 12 gauge “boomstick.”

Linda (Mezzo-Soprano): The girl next door. Linda is sweet, thoughtful, and completely devoted to Ash, until she turns evil and tries to kill him. She laughs an annoyingly inordinate amount of time after transforming.

Cheryl (Mezzo-Soprano): Ash’s sister and the odd woman out in the group. Looking to spend a week relaxing, she is the recipient of Scotty’s jokes and torment. The only one to sense the evil surrounding the cabin, she is the first to be possessed, turning her into an aggressive, foul-mouthed demon that speaks in very bad puns. Spends the majority of the show locked in the cellar.

Scott (Tenor/Baritone): Good looking, cocky, a prankster and Ash’s best friend. Thinks himself the brave one until he’s forced to kill, then his panic leads him to flee. He returns to warn Ash about the woods and attempts to help his friend even as he is knocking on death’s door.

Shelly (Mezzo-Soprano): Beautiful, easy, and not too smart. She is Scotty’s latest fling and looking to party. Just because she becomes an evil demon doesn’t mean she can’t look good doing it!

Annie (Mezzo-Soprano): Quite the overbearing explorer who finds missing pages to the Necronomicon and wants to reunite with her father to continue their research. Very bossy and drawn to Ash. Must be comfortable in a tear away semi-revealing costume.

Ed (Tenor/Baritone): Annie’s coworker, boyfriend, and doormat. He travels with her to the cabin to proceed with their research of the book of the dead. After turning evil, his confidence may lack but this “Bit Part Demon” is ready to sing!

Jake (Tenor/Baritone): Stereotypical Southerner and reliable enough to help Annie and Ed find the path to the cabin, but too stupid and stubborn to listen to reason that will keep him alive.

Ensemble Cast:

Evil Trees: These are the true comedians of the show. A nasty group of trees out to get the campers and will stop at nothing, be prepared to be gross!

Moose (Tenor/Baritone): A possessed, singing, Candarian Demon moose head! That enough makes it awesome, except once moose get going they never stop!

There are also voice overs, customers, etc. that will be doubled up. What does this mean? If you are a part of the very small ensemble, you are doing A LOT of things.

SHOW SYNOPSIS: 

In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.

Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:

Actors of all races, ethnicities, sizes, abilities, and genders (conforming and non-conforming) are highly encouraged to audition. While there are no specific dance needs, the ability to move well is needed. The director and musical director are looking for strong actors who are capable of the demanding music needs; bringing the storytelling, character needs, and vocals to a strong performance level. 

ALL CHARACTERS ARE OPEN TO ACTORS OF ALL ETHNICITIES AND AGE. We will be casting children to play Young Elsa and Young Anna.

ELSA (Vocal range: F#3 to D5), Seeking female identifying actor to play Elsa, who is next in line for the throne and has been born with magical powers that can overwhelm her when she becomes afraid and harm others if not handled with care. Fearful of hurting anyone, especially her beloved sister, Anna, Elsa becomes anxious and withdrawn as she grows older, before eventually learning to take control of, and become confident in, her powers. 

MIDDLE ELSA (Vocal range top: F#4 to A3) ,Young Elsa, Middle Elsa, and Elsa are all the elder Princesses of Arendelle at different ages. Next in line for the throne, Elsa has been born with magical powers that can overwhelm her when she becomes afraid and harm others if not handled with care. Fearful of hurting anyone, Elsa becomes anxious and withdrawn before eventually learning to take control of, and become confident in, her powers which she masterfully uses to manipulate the Snow Chorus. With the exception of Middle Elsa, who has only one lyric, look for strong singers who can portray Elsa’s restrained nature. 

YOUNG ELSA (Vocal range: C#5 to A3) Seeking female identifying actor to play Young Elsa, who is next in line for the throne and has been born with magical powers that can overwhelm her when she becomes afraid and harm others if not handled with care. Fearful of hurting anyone, especially her beloved sister, Anna, Elsa becomes anxious and withdrawn as she grows older, before eventually learning to take control of, and become confident in, her powers. 

ANNA (Vocal range: G3 to D5) Seeking female identifying actor to play Anna, who is filled with a tremendous amount of light, energy, and love. She is a hopelessly optimistic extrovert at all ages, but as she grows older, she longs for connection with others, especially her sister, Elsa. A strong singer with great comic timing. 

KRISTOFF (Vocal range: G2 to A3) Seeking male identifying actor to play Kristoff, a hardworking ice harvester who has a sarcastic veneer and a rough-around-the-edges exterior that hides a big heart. Taken in by the Hidden Folk when he was young, he loves Pabbie and Bulda dearly, but is a bit of a loner with a reindeer for a best friend until he meets Anna. 

MIDDLE ANNA (Vocal range top: B4 to A3) Seeking female identifying actor to play Young Anna. Filled with a tremendous amount of light, energy, and love, Anna is a hopelessly optimistic extrovert at all ages, but longs for connection with others, especially her sister, Elsa. Each version of this warm and determined princess requires a strong singer with great comic timing. Because Anna and Elsa share such a close bond, consider auditioning these roles together to get a sense of the performers’ chemistry. Once the actors playing Young Anna and Middle Anna are finished with these roles, consider adding them to the ensemble for the remainder of the show.

YOUNG ANNA (Vocal range: G3 to D5) Seeking female identifying actor to play Anna, who is filled with a tremendous amount of light, energy, and love. She is a hopelessly optimistic extrovert at all ages, but as she grows older, she longs for connection with others, especially her sister, Elsa. A strong singer with great comic timing. (Vocal range: G3 to D5) 

HANS (Vocal range: G2 to B3) Seeking male identifying actor to play the ambitious Prince of the Southern Isles and overlooked thirteenth son of a king. Hans constantly strives to find a way to make good and stand out. He boasts an exceedingly charming facade that fools everyone – including Anna and, ideally, the audience! – into believing he’s Prince Charming, when really, he’s just a jerk. 

OLAF (Vocal range: F#2 to D4) Seeking a male identifying actor to play the magical snowman created by Anna and Elsa when they were young. Olaf is endearingly delighted by everything – especially the idea of summer. Goofy and sweet, Olaf should possess a childlike innocence and excellent comic timing. 

SVEN (Vocal range: not traditional singing A3 to A5) Seeking a male identifying actor to play a reindeer of few words who is a fiercely loyal pal to Kristoff, and loves giving the ice harvester a hard time. 

PABBIE (Vocal range: G2 to F4)Seeking a male identifying actor to play one of the mystical leaders of the Hidden Folk who has a soft spot for “strays.” Along with Bulda, these ever-benevolent parental figures want what’s best for Kristoff, even if they are a bit misguided in their efforts. 

BULDA (Vocal range: F3 to F5) Seeking a female identifying actor to play one of the mystical leaders of the Hidden Folk who has a soft spot for “strays.” Along with Bulda, these ever-benevolent parental figures want what’s best for Kristoff, even if they are a bit misguided in their efforts. 

WESELTON (Vocal range: F#2 to D4) Seeking male identifying actor to play A visiting duke who possesses a huge inferiority complex. A bombastic, overbearing sycophant, Weselton’s sole purpose is to hobnob with influencers and royalty. 

BISHOP (Vocal range: B2 to A5) Seeking male identifying actor to play the bishop who officiates the coronation and passing of the crown to Elsa. This spiritual supervisor must communicate to the Townspeople of Arendelle in a serious and formal manner. May also join the townspeople.

KING AGNARR (Vocal range: G2-G4) Seeking male identifying actor to play the warm-hearted ruler of Arendelle who is committed to protecting both his family and the Townspeople from his eldest daughter’s powers. (Vocal range: G2-G4)

QUEEN IDUNA (Vocal range: F3-D5) Seeking female identifying actor to play the queen who possesses a sense of rightness and kindness that guides her in her protection of her two young girls. A daughter of the Northern Nomads, this queen can communicate with the Hidden Folk of the mountains and therefore understands Elsa’s powers deeply.

OAKEN (Vocal range: F#2 to D4) Seeking male identifying actor to play an exceedingly cheerful and convivial wandering salesperson and ardent devotee to all things cozy and comfortable. 

ENSEMBLE Seeking strong singers and dancers to play townspeople, hidden folk, snow dancers, and other various parts in the show. Tapping a plus.
