[Capdist-auditions] AUDITIONS- CALVIN BERGER - NOT SO COMMON PLAYERS - JANUARY 6 and 7!

[Michael Lotano]

Not So Common Players announces AUDITIONS for the musical production:
Calvin Berger 

Based loosely on Edmond Rostand’s play Cyrano de Bergerac, CALVIN BERGER is the hip and hilarious story of unrequited feelings, love notes, and physical insecurity among four high school seniors. Calvin is smitten by the beautiful Rosanna, but he feels insecure because of the size of his nose. Rosanna, in turn, is attracted to the good-looking newcomer, Matt, who is painfully shy and inarticulate around her, although the attraction is mutual. Hoping to get closer to Rosanna through his eloquent love notes, Calvin offers to be Matt’s “speech writer,” all the while ignoring the signals of attraction from another girl, his best friend, Bret. When the deception unravels, everybody’s friendship is seriously jeopardized, but Calvin eventually realizes that his preoccupation with his appearance had led him astray, and his eyes are opened to Bret, who’d been there all along.

Calvin BergerBook, Music and Lyrics by Barry Wyner
Orchestration by Doug Besterman
Original Direction by Kathleen Marshall
Scene Change Music Arranged by Aron Accurso
Roles Available:

Calvin (Male)
A high school-age boy who is charming, witty and lovable but does not have traditional good looks (pref. has a big nose). Must have impeccable comic timing. Good models for type: McLovin from “Superbad,” Ferris Bueller, Jon Cryer in “Pretty in Pink,” Anthony Michael Hall in “The Breakfast Club.” 
Baritone, pleasant sound but need not be polished, up to F#.

Matt (Male)
A very handsome high school-age guy. Muscular, macho, athletic happy-go-lucky, likable, earnest. Can be a lovable meathead (Stifler from “American Pie”), or a pretty-boy jock
 (Zac Efron in “High School Musical”), or an ultra-cool dude (James Dean, The Fonz). 
Bari-tenor with a comfortable G, who can belt a few loud A’s, too. Pref. a rock sound.

Rosanna (Female)
A beautiful, high school-age girl. Ingénue type with cheerleader good looks and a girl-next-door sweetness. Likable and able to show vulnerability. 
Beautiful voice, soprano or mixey high belt.

Bret (Female)
Quirky, witty, sarcastic, lovable, funny high school-age girl. A funkier, less mainstream look than Rosanna, perhaps alternative, grunge, goth, etc. 
Must not be extremely pretty – or the opposite. Probably more cute than hot. Good example: Juno from “Juno.”

 Strong, pleasant singing voice, alto with good high belt/mix up to D.
