Men with Money
Book & Lyrics by Bill Nelson, Music & Additional Lyrics by Joseph Trefler.
Director/Choreographer Geoffrey Goldberg
SYNOPSIS: Men with Money is the musical the 1950s didn’t get to have—a Technicolor, fantasy version of 1952 in which it’s okay to be gay. In this subversive, romantic romp, three young men set out to make their wild dream come true—to find, woo, and win lovers with money. Loads of money. Two gay and one straight, they might just have the charm and chutzpah to pull it off.
Please prepare sixteen bars from both a ballad and an uptempo (comedy, if you have it). Accompanist provided. Auditions will be four minutes by appointment. Auditions may be video recorded for casting purposes only.
