AUDITION TRACKS: CLICK HERE (Redirected to YouTube)

Velma Kelly (Alto E3-D5)
30-45 A vaudeville performer accused of murdering her husband and sister, who was also her performing partner. Confident, fiercely competitive, and resourceful, Velma knows how to command an audience and intends to turn her notoriety into a triumphant return to the stage. Beneath her polished exterior is a woman terrified of becoming irrelevant, especially when Roxie begins stealing her spotlight. Requires a commanding singer and excellent dancer with sharp comic timing. SIDES + Dance Link

Roxie Hart (Mezzo-Soprano F3-B4)
25-35
An aspiring performer who murders her lover and discovers that scandal may be her quickest route to stardom. Ambitious, impulsive, manipulative, and imaginative, Roxie moves between wide-eyed innocence and ruthless self-interest whenever it serves her. She desperately wants to be admired and believes she deserves a more exciting life than the one she has. Requires a versatile singer and excellent dancer who can balance comedy, charm, and flashes of vulnerability. SIDES + Dance Link

Billy Flynn (Baritone Bb2-G4)
35-50
Chicago’s celebrated criminal defense attorney, who turns murder trials into carefully orchestrated entertainment. Charismatic, suave, calculating, persuasive, and unflappable, Billy sells himself as a champion of vulnerable women while keeping his attention firmly on money and winning. He controls the room through charm, theatrical instinct, and an expert understanding of what people want to believe. He is the best and he knows it. Requires a commanding singer and actor with effortless showmanship, precise comic timing, and strong movement skills. SIDES

Mama Morton (Alto F#3-Bb4)
40-60
The Cook County Jail matron, who acts as protector, broker, and unofficial talent agent to the women in her care—for a price. Shrewd, commanding, pragmatic, and humorously maternal, Mama makes every favor a transaction. She can be welcoming and reassuring, but she expects loyalty and payment in return. Requires a powerful singer with a grounded presence, earthy humor, and the ability to convey authority with ease. SIDES

Amos Hart (Baritone C3-F#4)
30-50
Roxie’s hardworking husband, who goes to extraordinary lengths to help her while remaining largely invisible to everyone around him. Devoted, trusting, unassuming, and quietly wounded, Amos wants to believe that his marriage matters and that doing the right thing will eventually earn him love. His sincerity provides an emotional counterpoint to the people exploiting him. Requires an expressive singer and actor with understated comic timing and genuine warmth. SIDES

Mary Sunshine (Countertenor, Mezzo-Soprano Bb3-Bb5)
25-50, any gender identities. 
A newspaper reporter whose sentimental coverage helps transform accused murderers into sympathetic celebrities. Appears as a good natured journalist, but in reality is a mischievous, power-hungry gossip columnist. Seen as earnest, idealistic, and impressionable, her polished public persona contributes to the show’s exploration of appearances and illusion. Requires a performer with a superb and consistent upper register, clear diction, an operatic vocal quality, and precise comic timing. SIDES

Male Ensemble — Must Cover a Principal Track
Versatile performers portraying lovers, reporters, police officers, lawyers, courtroom officials, and jurors. Suave, assertive, opportunistic, and theatrical. Requires strong singing, advanced dance skills, musical precision, and the ability to make distinct character choices across multiple roles. Each performer must also be able to understudy and perform an assigned principal track. SIDES + SIDES OF A CHARACTER ABOVE + Dance Link.

Female Ensemble — Must Cover a Principal Track

Each performer must also be able to understudy and perform an assigned principal track. SIDES + SIDES OF A CHARACTER ABOVE + Dance Link.

Wolfbane Productions prides itself on consistently bridging the theatre worlds of New York City and Appomattox, Virginia.  Over the past 16 years we've welcomed actors to the Pack from all over the country. We've been thrilled to work with Broadway, television, film & national-tour veterans, introducing them to Virginia's breath-taking natural beauty and to the thriving community of Wolfbane audiences: some of the most lively and passionate audiences you'll find anywhere in modern theatre. 

Wolfbane is also proud to have been the gateway, for over a dozen artists from our Virginia base, to make the transition to New York City via connections made with the Wolfbane family. 

We are inspired by this tradition of blending our NYC and VA homes as we continue to cast from auditions held in both states, as well as allowing for video submissions for those who are unable to attend.
