Vintage Theatre Announces Auditions For
Ordinary Days
SHOW INFORMATION
Ordinary Days
A musical by Adam Gwon
Director - Carter Edward Smith
Music Director - Jerimiah Otto
Assistant Director - Carley Hutson
Stage Manager - Maddie Morgan
From one of musical theatre's most exciting new composers comes Ordinary Days, a refreshingly honest and funny musical about making real connections in the city that never sleeps (but probably should at some point).
Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love and cabs. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences ring startlingly true to life. Ordinary Days is an original musical for anyone who's ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home.
ROLES
CLAIRE - Range: G2-E4 (Belt to E4); Needs a strong belt and mix. Comfortable with patter!
20-30s: Claire is embarking on a new stage of her life with boyfriend Jason. The decision to share an apartment is the catalyst for Claire to face her past.
JASON - Range: A1-G#3 (solid B1, at least)
20-30s: Jason is the boyfriend of Claire. A romantic at heart, he spends the bulk of the musical attempting to further his relationship, at first by moving in and then by proposing. Claire consistently resists his attempts leading to the central conflict of their story arc.
DEB - Range: F#2-E4 (Belt to C#4/D4)
20-30s: Deb is a cynical and defensive grad student who is struggling to find focus in her life. She meets struggling artist Warren when he finds her thesis notes in the street.
WARREN - Range: G#1-G3; Comfortable with patter.
20-30s: The cheerful and sometimes annoyingly optimistic Warren sees beauty in the simple things in life, delivering the musical's message and final number ("Beautiful").
