Character descriptions:

(Blue, Yellow, Orange, Green, and Red girls will sing on all songs.  We have highlighted lead vocals of some of the songs for each character.) 

Blue Girl
A blue-blooded fashion model. Sophisticated, poised, and cool. She is vain and not particularly friendly.
(“Don’t Sleep in the Subway”, “You’re My World”)
Vocal range top: F5     
Vocal range bottom: F3

Yellow Girl
A loud, uninhibited American girl driven by her emotions. She is a ray of sunshine with a surprising vulnerability. Possesses a big, rock diva belt.
(“Son of a Preacher Man”, “I Just Don’t Know What To Do”)
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: F3

Orange Girl
The "mother" of the group. Domestic and maternal, she is wise, soulful, and mature. Slowly asserting her new-found independence.
(“I Only Want To Be With You”, “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me”)
Vocal range top: B5
Vocal range bottom: F3

Green Girl
A good-time girl. Blousy, middle-class, and zany. She is a bit frayed at the edges, and hopelessly single. A comedian of sorts.
(“Coldfinger”, “I Couldn’t Live Without Your Love”)
Vocal range top: F5
Vocal range bottom: F3

Red Girl
The "baby" of the group, she is an exciting blend of youthful contradictions. Quirky, enthusiastic, and naïve. A hopeless romantic who is insecure about her looks.
(“How Can You Tell”, “To Sir With Love”)
Vocal range top: G5
Vocal range bottom: F3

Gwendolyn Holmes (Non Singing Role)
An advice columnist the Girls of “SHOUT!” write to throughout the show.  A to the point, uptight looking journalist who can seriously help, or seriously hurt, her fans.  This role will have very limited rehearsal requirements.

Before you decide to audition, please seriously consider any potential schedule conflicts or other performance opportunities that may interfere with your commitment to the show you may be cast in.
 

Check the Master Rehearsal and Performance Calendar for this show

Please mark a clear start and stop point for the Accompanist.   If auditioning for GWENDOLYN HOLMES please prepare a 30 second published monologue demonstrating your ability to portray an expressive, uptight advice columnist INSTEAD of a song.
