[Jj Buechner]

The Local Actors Guild of Saratoga is proud to announce auditions for their August production of The Full Monty: The Musical.



Auditions are Tuesday April 22nd at 7:00pm. Please bring 16 bars of an upbeat Broadway song. Be prepared for a movement audition.



Auditions are at The Saratoga Arts Center. 320 Broadway, Saratoga Springs. Any question please email localactorsguild at gmail.com



Based on the cult hit film of the same name, The Full Monty a 10-time Tony Award-nominee, is filled with honest affection, engaging melodies and the most highly-anticipated closing number of any show. The powerhouse team of Terrence McNally (Ragtime) and David Yazbek (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) cook up an aggressive crowd pleaser that both entertains and grabs your heart.



While spying on their wives at a 'Girls' Night Out,' a group of unemployed steelworkers from Buffalo see how much they enjoy watching male strippers. Jealous, out of work, and feeling emasculated, the men come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash. In preparing, they find themselves extremely exposed; not merely physically but emotionally. As they conquer their fears, self-consciousness, and prejudices, the men come to discover they're stronger as a group, and the strength they find in each other gives them the individual courage to "let it go."



The Full Monty is a story full of heart. Right to the end, audiences will be wondering if these lovable misfits will really pull it off. With a raucous mix of razor-sharp humor and toe-tapping pizzazz, this heartwarming upbeat comedy is a must for any theatre looking for a big hit.


Monty Men
If you are auditioning for these 6 roles, or Keno, you need to be very comfortable with your body; enough to perform on stage in your underwear and eventually a g-string. Will we go all the way? You must be prepared to do so and must agree to such to be considered for those roles. Trust is a key word for our production – you will be taken care of respectfully and our final moment will be powerful, yet careful. Wear clothing to auditions that reveals your overall body shape accurately. You will not need to undress at auditions. 

Reminder to women: this show is not just about the guys and their underwear issues! The women's roles are powerful, pivotal, and memorable with kick-ass songs. There is no heart without connection and the women are critical in creating the circle.


Character Breakdown 



Jerry Lukowski An unemployed mill worker, fighting to maintain his pride and the custody of his only son. All-American jock and the definitive man's man. Spontaneous. Very prideful. Gender: male Age: 30 to 40 Vocal range top: D6 Vocal range bottom: C4


Nathan Lukowski Jerry's young son. 12. Range: age appropriate. “12 years old going on forty” but young-looking for his age. Nathan can be stoic, sincere, and charming, but ultimately real as he deals with his parents' custody battle. Key player who does a lot of witnessing. PARENTS: Please watch the original movie and find an opportunity to read the musical's entire script BEFORE your young man auditions. The movie is Rated R for language and differs from the play in significant ways. The script for the play is available from the library, book stores, or you can contact us directly for a perusal. Nathan sees and hears adult-themed content and, critically, drops the f-bomb (says “f**k” once - no exceptions). May end up a non-singing, non-dancing role. Boys will use the exact same audition process as adults, including singing and dancing.


Pam Lukowski Jerry's estranged wife and high school sweetheart. She wants what is best for her son. Strong business woman, but also compassionate and motherly. Gender: female Age: 25 to 35 Vocal range top: A5 Vocal range bottom: B3 



Georgie Bukatinsky Dave's wife. She loves her husband, and worries about him. Loud, outgoing and brash. She is the "leader" of her group of girlfriends. Gender: female Age: 30 to 40 Vocal range top: A5 Vocal range bottom: G3 



Harold Nichols An unemployed supervisor at the mill. Hot Metal's choreographer. Thinks his worth comes from providing for his wife, so he hides his unemployment from her. Gender: male Age: 35 to 45 Vocal range top: A5 Vocal range bottom: B3 



Vicki Nichols Harold's wife. She enjoys the finer things in life. Loves her husband more than anything, and supports him no matter what. Gender: female Age: 30 to 40 Vocal range top: A5 Vocal range bottom: G3 



Malcolm Macgregor An unemployed mill worker. Lives at home with his mother. Depressed, suicidal, awkward, and feeble. Pigeon-chested. Finds comfort in Ethan. Gender: male Age: 25 to 35 Vocal range top: E6 Vocal range bottom: C4 



Ethan Girard An unemployed mill worker. Lonely. Has a blind determination and confidence to succeed. Finds company with Malcolm. Gender: male Age: 25 to 35 Vocal range top: A5 Vocal range bottom: D3 



Noah "horse" T. Simmons A retired mill worker. Embarrassed about being an "average sized" Black man. Despite being old and slow when walking, he still has explosive dance moves. Frequently grumpy. Gender: male Age: 50 to 60 Vocal range top: B5 Vocal range bottom: F2 



Jeanette Burmeister A piano player of indeterminate years and show-business pro. Sassy, quick-witted, and larger than life. Has slowed down in recent years. Gender: female Age: 65 to 75 Vocal range top: B5 Vocal range bottom: F4



We are also looking for an ensemble to play multiple small roles.
