hey guys!!! just a lil’ info on the whole we will rock you thing. auditions are today and tomorrow, and i’ll be posting the roles two weeks from now (friday the 14th). emily’s (and now also cee’s and nick’s, this took me longer than intended to write yikes...) post reminded me that maybe a tag would be a good idea and #glistwwry seems like a solid one, so feel free to tag anything wwry-related (auditions or whatever). and if you don’t feel like posting something, just let me know that ur character auditioned so i can include them!!
“i was talking to cee and we were wondering how the roles are gonna work in terms of who gets what?” - emily
you guys know your characters better than i do and if you have a (few) specific role(s) you feel like you feel like your character would be able to do well, please IM me and let me know!! anything from “i feel like xxx should play galileo bc my character is cool and talented” to “lol i guess a smaller role would be better for yyy” is cool.
so i have an old manuscript lying around and in case you haven’t seen the show, here’s a super shitty run-down of the roles (that we had because that’s all i can relate to):
GALILEO FIGARO: male lead, a social outcast, probably always wearing a leather jacket because he thinks its #rebellious. the chosen one. sings... a lot.
SCARAMOUCHE: female lead, galileo’s lover girl, also a social outcast, bit more rebellious than galileo. plays some sweet guitar at some point. also sings a lot.
POP: one of the bigger supporting roles. basically a hippie librarian. opens the entire thing. sings these are the days of our lives (maybe more but idk??)
KILLER QUEEN: the queen bee of evil. head of the mega-cooperation globalsoft. very empowering - wants virtual world domination and also for music to die. sings don’t stop me now, a kind of magic, killer queen and another one bites the dust.
KHASHOGGI: the evil commander of killer queen’s secret police. wears sunglasses inside because he’s a douchebag who thinks he’s cool. sings a kind of magic and the seven seas of ryhe.
GUARDS: also wear sunglasses, but probably has no soul. they just do whatever khashoggi (killer queen) tells them to do. only a few lines (and no singing despite being on stage during flash + a few other songs)
TEACHER: small part. have a few scenes with galileo and scara. on stage during i want to break free but does not sing.
SECRETARY: to killer queen. very few lines, but actually sings with killer queen almost all the time.
GAGA GIRLS: part of the choir but have a few lines.
BRITNEY: a hippie but also a rebel leader. inspired by britney spears. sings i want it all and crazy little thing called love. also sings some of bohemian rhapsody w/main boy galileo. dies to the hand of khashoggi at the end of act 1.
MEAT: another rebel hippie. inspired by meatloaf. sings i want it all and crazy little thing called love.
THE BOHEMIANS: the rest of the rebels because im too lazy. paul mccartney, cliff and big macca (sings both songs). we also had a lot of other bohemians who did crazy little thing called love. all of them (including meat but not britney) sings these are the days of out lives w/pop.
because i didnt come up with a tag before now im gonna be tagging those of you who i remember mentioning something about it. super sorry if im missing anyone, yikess!!!
