About the Show
Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale and put it into a blender with Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and The 39 Steps? That’s just what happens in this lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud, 90-minute, gender-bending romp. When her sister Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula abounds with clever wordplay and quick-change antics. Five actors play over a dozen roles in this bloodcurdlingly hilarious send-up of the literary classic.

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Based on Charles Dickens’ final unfinished novel, this hilarious whodunit invites the audience to solve its mystery by choosing the identity of the murderer. The tale is presented as a show-within-a-show, as the Music Hall Royale – a delightfully loony Victorian theatre company – presents Dickens’ brooding mystery.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

All characters can be portrayed by any ethnicity, unless specified otherwise. The show will be performed with British accents, so bring yours (dialect is not important)!

All doubling of parts listed here are from the Broadway version. We may choose to divide these roles differently.

Mr. William Cartwright, Chairman / Mayor Thomas Sapsea: The leader of the music hall troupe. The Chairperson carries much of the dialogue and must be quick with a joke and able to improvise. He is in charge of keeping the pace of the show moving. This part can be any age over 40ish. Male-Presenting/Baritone.

Mr. Clive Paget / John Jasper: The Royale’s male lead, a devilishly attractive cad, and he knows it. In Drood, he is the antagonist. Choirmaster of Cloisterham Cathedral, and uncle of Edwin Drood. In love with Rosa Bud. Madness lurks beneath his smooth exterior. 35-50ish. Male-Presenting/Bari-tenor.

Mr. Victor Grinstead / Neville Landless: Victor is enjoying his premiere performance with the Music Hall Royale. His character, Neville, is Helena’s twin brother. Very passionate and often angry. Non-Caucasian. 20-35ish. Male-Presenting/Bari-tenor.

Mr. Cedric Moncrieffe / Reverend Crisparkle: This troupe member is a bit of an open book who plays an archetypal vicar, who is also a bit of a lurker, and was in love with Rosa’s mother. Must be significantly older than Rosa. Male-Presenting/Baritone.

Mr. Phillip Bax / Waiter / Bazzard: Devotee of the theatre, the everlasting understudy, who finally gets his moment. May have quite a major part if the evening turns out that way. Any age. Male-Presenting/Bari-tenor.

Mr. Nick Cricker, Sr. / Durdles: “Clown Prince of the Royale” who makes the most of every line and plays the drunkard sexton in Drood. Over 30. Male-Presenting/Baritone or Tenor.

Master Nick Cricker, Jr. / Satyr / Deputy: Boy, any age younger than Cricker, Sr. As the Deputy, lowest in the pecking order, and very funny. Male-Presenting/Any voice range.

Miss Deirdre Peregrine / Rosa Bud: The not-so-innocent ingenue of the Music Hall Royale, Deirdre portrays the love interest of Drood, the young, beautiful and apparently fragile Rosa Bud. 16-30ish. Female-Presenting/True Soprano.

Miss Alice Nutting / Edwin Drood / Dick Datchery: Prima donna and London’s leading male impersonator, charming but, as you might expect, with determination and a lot of ego. Must command the stage. As Edwin Drood, she is an attractive, rich, and popular young man who has everything. 25-45ish. Female-Presenting/Mezzo-Soprano.

Miss Janet Conover / Helena Landless: Janet is a long-standing member of the acting troupe, asked to play the mysterious Helena Landless, who is driven by a fierce loyalty to her brother. Non-Caucasian. 20-30ish. Female-Presenting/Mezzo-Soprano

Miss Angela Prysock / Princess Puffer: Angela has been a favorite of London audiences forever, a staple of the stage. As the mysterious Princess Puffer, Madam, opium dealer, and general purveyor of vice of all kinds, she is glamorous in her ruin. Over 50. Female-Presenting/Serious Low Alto – must have a big chest voice and lots of rapport with the audience.

About the Play:
In Eurydice, Sarah Ruhl reimagines the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice through the eyes of it’s heroine. After a sudden death on her wedding day, Eurydice enters the Underworld, where her memories disappear and she is reunited with her father. As Orpheus follows her, determined to bring her home, Eurydice is faced with impossible choices about love, identity, and remembrance. Tender, funny, and surreal, the play uses language, music, movement, and ensemble storytelling to examine how we hold onto one another, and what it means to let go.

Please prepare the following for your audition:

All performers should come dressed comfortably and be prepared to move and vocalize based on their personal capabilities. Performers are encouraged to bring some form of tool with which to make music to the audition. This could be a genuine music instrument, a childs toy, or any everyday item with which rhythm, percussion, or music-like sound could be created.

Characters

Eurydice (Female Presenting, Age Range 20-30, Any Race)

A young woman who loves books, ideas, and language. Romantic but thoughtful, vulnerable yet sharp. Eurydice’s journey is one of remembering who she is and what she wants. This role requires emotional honesty, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit.

A Nasty Interesting Man / Lord of the Underworld (Any Gender, Age Range 40+, Any Race)

A strange and unsettling figure who delights in control and disruption. Appears first as a smooth manipulator, then as a childish, impulsive ruler of the Underworld.

The Stones (All demographics aged 13+ are welcome to audition for the Stones. Comfort with rhythm and movement required)

An ensemble chorus who inhabit the Underworld. They observe, comment, and enforce its rules, often through movement and group rhythm. The Stones are both funny and unforgiving. Could be played as children. Could be played by teens.

YOLANDA: Black female, 20’s (must be able to appear 15-18). Fiercely opinionated but introverted, Yolanda keeps her feelings inside, except when she raps.

VELMA: Black female, 30s/40s. Flashy and has a past, Velma now expresses herself in her vivid stories and glittery hats. Knows how to have fun, but she is tougher than she looks – hard times have offered her many life lessons.

MABEL: Black female, 40s/50s. The most conservative. Married to a minister and is a First Lady, and always did the right thing. Has a genuine insight into the
human condition but likes ladies to be ladies. She has a behavior code and believes in it – and you better believe in it too!

JEANETTE: Black female, 30s. She’s been a working girl a long time – cosmetics counter at the local department store. Prides herself on her appearance – and the ability of a hat to create mystery, flirtation, whatever the mood calls for. She’s a mother, wife and woman who really loves her hats.

WANDA: Black female, 30s. Can be extroverted or introverted – changing like the wind blows. Spunky. Always wants the last word.

MAN: Black male, 30-40s. [ALREADY CAST- CASTING UNDERSTUDY] Plays all the male roles in the play: Father, Reverend, Husband of the women. Versatile actor.
