Lizzie
LIZZIE
About
In the heat of late summer 1892, Andrew Borden and his wife are found murdered in their house. The main suspect? Andrew’s youngest daughter from a previous marriage: Lizzie Borden. An electrifying all-woman rock musical that rewrites the narrative.
When
Where
Who
Seeking a diverse ensemble of Union and Non-Union actors 18 and older. Roles are open to all genders, races, ethnicities, and body types. Actors with disabilities are strongly encouraged to audition. SLAC is an equal opportunity employer.
Actors are paid weekly.
Character Breakdown:
Lizzie Borden – Female Presenting. (High belt: F#3-F#5, belt to A5 if possible). Damaged, twisted. She can turn on a dime from fragile, broken, meek and obedient to conniving, sinister, furious and terrifying. She is transformed through an act of unspeakable transgression, turning her own historical infamy into an ascension to legend. (*This role has been cast)
Emma Borden – Female Presenting. (Alto/mezzo belt: F#3-D5). Lizzie’s older sister. She must content herself by playing a motherly Lady Macbeth to Lizzie, dripping her own hatreds into Lizzie’s ears over the years, stoking the fires of Lizzie’s rage. She’s furious, but she’s also desperately sad.
Bridget Sullivan (“Maggie”) – Female Presenting. (Contralto/low alto: F3 with E3/Eb5) The Bordens’ Irish maid. She always seems to know what is going to happen, and does things one step before anyone else. She’s put upon, angry, and as resentful of the Borden sisters as she is of the parents. Bridget is the Sex Pistols rock and roll nihilist.
Alice Russell – Female Presenting. (High mezzo lyric/mix/belt: G3 with F#3 to A5 legit soprano). The Bordens’ next door neighbor. She is a luscious pear, the sensuous mother-sister-lover which is sorely lacking in Lizzie’s life. She appears to Lizzie in her greatest moments of need and attempts to lead her away from a path of destruction and toward one of love, truth, and affection.
What To Prepare
We encourage auditioners to listen to LIZZIE.
Please prepare 32 bars (approximately one minute) of a rock/punk song, in the style of the show, that showcases strong acting, vocals, and storytelling. Song selections do not have to be from a musical. We are looking for strong actors who move well and can tell a story through song.
An accompanist will be provided at the audition.
