ALSO…

Please come prepared to sing a 32 bar (roughly 1 min.) cut from a contemporary song… preferable stylistically appropriate to (but not from) the show. Jack will be available to accompany. If you don’t have music, taped music will be considered. Prefer no a capella auditions but we can do it.

The story:

With plenty of friends but little money, Susy Branch and her friend Nick Lansing devise a clever scheme to live beyond their means. They’ll marry and live off the wedding gifts, while they help one another secure more suitable millionaire spouses. The plan works perfectly – until they fall in love.

Characters:

SUSY BRANCH (late 20s) – Susy is bright, pretty and practical. Though born into society, her father’s gambling habit and untimely death left her dependent on wealthy friends who appreciate her grace, charm and enthusiasm.

WINTHROP “STREFFY” STREFFORD (30-50) – Streffy is British and proper, fourth in line to inherit a title and large fortune. In the meantime, he is a career freeloader, dining out on rich Americans’ fondness for European royalty. Though gossipy, selfish and a bit mean, he is fun to have around. He has long been secretly in love with Susy, but being too poor to have any chance to marry, he has settled for being her friend and confidante.

ELLIE VANDERLYN (late 40s) – Self-absorbed wealthy society matron. She is attractive, ambitious, self-centered and used to getting whatever she likes.

NELSON VANDERLYN (50-60) – Successful banker, he has endured 20 years of marriage to Ellie. And somehow, despite her mistreatment, remains steadfastly in love with her.

URSULA GILLOW (late 40s) – A vain society matron, even richer than the Vanderlyns. She and Ellie have a longstanding rivalry. (The same actor plays Coral, below.)

NICK LANSING (30s) – A scholar of classical archeology who dreams of writing historical novels, Nick is romantic and passionate, well-traveled­, curious. He appreciates beauty and the finer things, but has an old fashioned moral strength. He had a small inheritance but burned through it quickly several years earlier. Like Susy, he was born rich to a good family, went to the right schools and clubs, but is now without sufficient funds.

CORAL HICKS (20s) – Frowsy over-educated heiress from the Midwest. Her father founded a successful department store. She is serious, awkward, overly intellectual but socially inept. She knows everything in books and nothing about human interaction.

MAID (20-40) – Female. A servant at the Vanderlyn’s Newport mansion.

THE CABARET SINGER (40s-70s) – This is a guest-starring part with a one-song walk-on and a few lines, requiring minimal preparation.
