Singer/Actor urgently wanted for new Christmas musical

There is one more role available for the forthcoming production of FOLLOW THE LIGHT, a new pop/rock musical based (mostly!) on the story of Christmas. Despite the subject matter, FTL isn't a "religious" musical per se, but rather a fresh, witty, contemporary reinvention of the story aimed at young general audiences through songs ranging from pop to rock to punk to emotive ballad.

We are looking for a male performer aged 18 and above with a strong singing voice (contemporary), some acting experience and movement ability to play the part of one of the THREE WISE MEN: cool, funky characters who are intellectually brilliant and therefore comically self-absorbed without realising it. For all their genius, they talk in street/surfy style and sing r&b/pop/groove; and despite their arrogrance, they are funny and very likeable characters.

For a demo of a song intended to be sung by the Three Wise Men, please check out

FOLLOW THE LIGHT will be staged in Nexus Theatre at Murdoch University (South Street) between November 23rd and 26th, and rehearsals will commence in late September. Proceeds from the show will go to charity (organisations TBA).

If anyone is keen to audition or would like more information, please contact me at nick_cmkit@lycos.com or call 0422 264 113.
