Fresh from the success in the re-staging of “Rent,” 9 Works Theatrical unveils their next musical theater undertaking with the screen-to-stage adaptation of “The Wedding Singer” slated to open on October 2010 at the Meralco Theater.
The original 1998 romcom hit, starred by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, is where the oddly popular wedding song “Grow Old with You” is from co-written by Sandler himself. In 2006, this Hollywood instant classic opened on Broadway, earning the show five Tony Awards nominations, including Best Musical.
In connection with the Philippine production, 9 Works Theatrical will be holding auditions this weekend:
- March 19 (Friday) | venue: Philippine Opera Company, 15 Garcia Villa St., San Lorenzo Village, Makati City | Registration at 9am. Auditions at 11am.
- March 20 (Saturday) | venue: Infinitif Dance Studio, 2/F Berris Building, 6678 Taylo St., Barangay Pio del Pilar, Makati City | Registration and Auditions at 10am. Dance Callbacks at 2pm.
They are looking for actors and singers to fill principal and supporting roles:
- Robbie Hart (rock tenor, can play guitar, 25 - 35 years old) - a musician and lead singer for a trio that plays at weddings; very charismatic yet insecure with “puppy dog” appeal
- Julia Sullivan (soprano, 25 - 35 years old) - Robbie’s love interest, a sweet and understanding yet naive waitress for a catering firm, comedic ingĂ©nue
- Glen Guglia (baritone, 30 - 45 years old) - a calculating, money-loving Wall Street type
- Holly (pop belter, 20 - 35 years old) - Julia’s bubbly, uninhibited and loveable cousin
- George (baritone-tenor, strong falsetto, comic role, can rap, 20 - 35 years old) - Robbie’s flamboyantly gay, eccentric friend and fellow band member
- Rosie (soprano, comic role, can rap, 50+ years old) - Robbie’s feisty grandmother
A total of 16 chorus members will be cast. There is a large chorus of singers and dancers for the wedding scenes. The dancing is 80s-inspired, so jazz training is excellent background.
Impersonators of Ronald Reagan, Nancy Reagan, Mr. T., Tina Turner, Billy Idol, Cyndi Lauper and Imelda Marcos are also needed.
