TORONTO FRINGE AUDITION NOTICE
 
TOP GUN! THE MUSICAL
 
Cattle Productions is proud to present Top Gun! The Musical at this
year's Toronto Fringe Festival (July 3 - 14, 2002).  TG! TM is written
by Denis McGrath, directed by Colin Viebrock and produced by Derrick
Chua.
 
The show is a musical comedy about putting on a musical called "Top Gun:
The Musical".
 
We are looking for actors who are strong singers and have good comedic
skills.
 
Character Descriptions:
Billy: M, early 30's.  A nebbishy, put-upon artist with the weight of
the world on his shoulders. Woody Allen with a touch of Billy Wilder.
Writer-director of "Top Gun: The Musical."
 
"Charlie": F, mid-20's.  The female lead of "Top Gun: The Musical." A
narcissistic diva, cruel and vain, sexy and just dangerous enough to be
interesting.
 
"Maverick": M, mid-20's.  A good looking himbo.  Macho, straight out of
jeans ad.  A million dollar smile and a five cent mind.  We need someone
really smart - cause they'll be playing really dumb.
 
"Iceman": M, late-20's.  When reading his role, Ice is arrogant, cool,
macho.  When he's not acting, he's a proud out Queen - desperately in
love with the actor playing Maverick.
 
"Wella": F, 30's.  The show's designer.  Deeply disturbed and
disturbing. An off-kilter energy and an attitude directly from the
mothership.
 
The General: M, late 40's-early 50's.  Ex-military, ramrod straight and
proper.  Now bankrolling a musical and acting as producer and military
advisor.
 
Wendy: F, early 30's.  The show's stage manager.  The Good Egg.  With a
love for Billy that's pure and true.
 
Requirements:  Performers are asked to prepare a short comedic monologue
(max. 2 minutes) and 2 brief musical numbers, 1 ballad & 1 up-tempo, 1-2
minutes each, to be sung a capella, or performers may provide their own
accompaniment on tape or cd. Equity welcome. This will be a co-op
revenue-sharing production. Please send photo and resume to:
