Synopsis:
It’s David vs. Goliath – but not a slingshot in sight! When shepherd boy David is prophesized to become the next king… heck, he’d rather be a rock star, anyway. Not that tough guy Goliath’ll let some freakin’ sheep-lover take the crown, setting the stage for the biblical rivals to clash in an epic Guitar Hero battle! Following a successful run in the UK, this family-friendly rock musical takes on the issue of bullying as it spins its tale of a little guy who must overcome obstacles, face fears and finally: Stand Tall! www.standtallmusical.com

SEEKING:

[BLACK SHEEP]
Late 20s-30s Female, Non-Caucasian (possibly Afro-Caribbean). Black Sheep is wise and mystical, a mother earth character, but voluptuous and sexy. In many ways, she drives the narrative of the show, guiding David through his ups and downs. Essentially she’s the golden thread throughout the show and flirts with the audience when necessary. Has to deliver several big rock songs and a rock ballad. A big, powerful range is a must – think Aretha Franklin / Tina Turner. Highly versatile pop/MT performer

[DAVID]
Late teens – mid 20s Male. David is young and good looking with a solid pop vocal sound and a boy band feel to his appearance. He is confident but sensitive and finds it difficult to understand and express his emotions. Part of his dilemma in the show is his coming to terms with leaving adolescence and entering adulthood. Ability to play guitar a plus. Please indicate guitar experience in submission. Pop/Rock Tenor

[GOLIATH/GUARD]
Late teens – mid 20s Male. Should be a strong actor with great comedic timing. Tall, and heavily built. Goliath is a disturbed young man, aggressive and unpredictable, with an edgy look and a booming voice. He sings several forceful rock songs and a rap number. The Guard is the royal servant to King Saul. The guard does not appear to be particular bright and sucks up to the King. The Guard and King pairing are the “comedy act” of the show. Ability to play guitar a plus. Please indicate guitar experience in submission. Pop-Rock Tenor/High Baritone

[KING SAUL/JESSE/CASSIUS]
Late 30s-40s Male. Should be a versatile actor/comedian, who can bring life to King Saul but also play the truth of Jesse & Cassius. King Saul is father to Princess Mia and similar to the Monty Python tyrant character. He’s full of menace but funny with it, very unpredictable with a psychotic edge to his performance. Saul has a comedic song (think King Herod). Jesse is David’s father and deeply loves his son. He is warm, affectionate and playful, basically your average loving father. Cassius is Goliath’s father. He’s mean, nasty and full of contempt for his son. The complete opposite to Jesse. Baritone

[MIA]
Late teens – mid 20s Female. Princess Mia is daughter to King Saul and David’s girlfriend. Young leading lady. She has a ‘Lily Allen’ feel to her appearance & style, young, beautiful but with balls. She has a sweet innocence but is also determined, knows what she wants, and is constantly frustrated by David’s indecisiveness. David is the love of her life and her end game is to be with him no matter what. Pop Mezzo

SUBJECT LINE: WHEN MUSE DESCENDS [ROLE]

While wallowing over the meal, he hears a thud on the roof of his building. He goes to the roof to investigate the disturbance and to his surprise, finds a beautiful, unconscious, fallen angel. He tries to save her but her personality proves to be more than he can handle.

SEEKING:
[ISAAC FORD] 20s male. A hopeless romantic that tries to hide his soft side from the world, and the girls he falls for. Once an accomplished musician, Isaac is now a sad shadow of his former self and compensates by trying to create experiences from the world around him as opposed to letting experiences unfold naturally. Although he comes off as a confident extrovert and opportunist, in his private moments, he feels as though the slightest criticism could break him. Any ethnicity. Must be able to play Guitar, ability to sing a plus.

[DELILAH] 20s female. A fallen angel with a chip on her shoulder. Once a talented dancer, Delilah has lost much of her confidence and courage. After mistakenly falling from heaven, she is forced to confront her past and reveal her fear in order to ascend back to heaven. Though she is witty and magnetic, she keeps up a wall around her past and desires. Any Ethnicity. Strong background in ballet and contemporary dance required.

Subject Line: THE BUFFALO KID [ROLE]

THE BUFFALO KID: After being abandoned by the love of his life, a young street musician in New York City loses his ability to play and is forced to sell the only thing in his life that he cares about – his trumpet. Buffalo Carter, a young trumpet player living in New York City, is hitting rock bottom. The love of his life has left him and he no longer has the skill or the inspiration to play the trumpet. Hungry and hungover, the cursed young man will have to face the option of having to sell his trumpet, the only thing in his life that he still cares for. But who’s the mysterious stranger who watches him from the street corner as he tries to blow out a few notes for a buck? And why is she following him on this particular day?

[BUFFALO CARTER] 20s male. A brilliant trumpet player living in New York. A recent broken heart has left a hole in his inspiration, leading him down a spiral of self-destruction. Even though he can be charming and even compassionate, the isolation has turned him into a moody hopeless romantic with an appetite for whisky and cigarettes. NO TRUMPET EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.

[KAT] 20s female. A beautiful dancer living in New York. She’s smart, quick-witted and sometimes charmingly aggressive, but when near Buffalo, her guard is down. Her admiration of his music inspires and motivates her to pursue her own art. Even though she hides it, Kat is a dreamer when it comes to love.

[JEAN-PIERRE LEFEVRE] 30s-40s male. A tragic artist who ended up as a beggar stumbling around New York. His drunken attitude and ragged look are contrasted by his surprisingly poetic rhetoric skills. Even though life has no meaning to him at the moment, he still hopes that one day his lost lover will come back to save him.

[LUZ] 60s female. An old Mexican card reader in New York. Originally a superstitious woman, she’s grown to learn the futility of the cards. She even invented her own card system, as a way to make extra money from the miserable wandering souls of the city.

[MR. DIEDERICH] 40s-50s male. The owner of a small music store in New York. His vast knowledge of musical instruments (and of people) allows him to jump in and take advantage of his less knowledgeable and inexperienced clients. The man is greedy, pretentious and has a fine ability for words. Must Be Able To Do A German Accent.

[STARR] 40s female. A bitter and cynical pole dancer in New York. Love is no longer an option.

Subject Line: MISS A Tour

Synopsis: Five years ago, Miss Abigail opened
her mailbox to find the screaming Star Magazine headline that changed
her life forever: “Jen and Brad SPLIT!” Determined to find out why
modern love seemed so elusive to so many, Miss Abigail started
rereading her collection of vintage dating, mating, and marriage books
and was moved to action. She made it her mission to use the classic
advice of a simpler time to solve the contemporary troubles of the
lonely hearted, and began a column in her local paper. The column lead
to a blog, which lead to a celebrity following, and finally a national
tour. Now on the 12th stop of this tour, Miss A, along with her ever-adoring
assistant Paco, shares her outrageously funny “how-to’s” on dating, mating,
and marriage, showing us that sometimes you have to go back to go forward.

For more information visit www.missabigailsguide.com or www.davenporttheatrical.com.

[SEEKING FOR TOUR REPLACEMENT]

[MISS ABIGAIL] a widow, 50s-70s. Warm, funny, hip, and attractive in a hot-grandma way. Equally at home baking cookies or talking about sex. She is a nurturer and wants only to help her followers find love, though she herself has a hard time seeing that love can sometimes be staring right at you . . . and speaking with a Spanish accent. Think Florence Henderson meets Dr. Ruth. Actor must be a strong improviser and comfortable with audience interaction.
