Auditions for Ruthless! at Manchester Arts Center
The musical Book and Lyrics by Joel Paley Music by Marvin Laird Auditions for Ruthless! The musical, will be held at the Manchester Arts Center on Thursday, June 25 at 6:00. There will be a read through Sunday, June 28.
The show dates are scheduled for August 31, September 1 and 2, as well as the following weekend. There are parts for 4 women and 2 girls. Please bring an upbeat song and be prepared for a cold read.
The show is a parody of The Bad Seed, Gypsy and a host of other shows. It revolves around an extremely talented 3rd grader; her meek mother, who evolves into a star after discovering that her mother was a talented performer; the grandmother; a sleezy agent; a third grade teacher and the “other” 3rd grader. The music has echoes of Gypsy, A Chorus Line, Gershwin and Sondheim. The music culminates with a mother/daughter angry duet with the featured word, “ME.”
This is not your straight musical; rather, the performances are exaggerated as well as the costumes and music.
