BREAKDOWN
About the show: Loosely based on the story of Cyrano de Bergerac, the musical CALVIN BERGER is the contemporary and hilarious story of unrequited feelings, love notes, and physical insecurity among high school seniors. Smitten with the beautiful Rosanna, Calvin is paralyzed by self-doubt due to the size of his nose. No words of encouragement coming from his quirky best girlfriend Bret seem to help. Rosanna finds her head turned by the good-looking new student, Matt, who is painfully shy and unable to voice his mutual attraction to her. Hoping to forge a closer relationship to his love, Calvin offers to pen Matt’s eloquent love notes to Rosanna. As deceptions unravel and truths are revealed, Calvin is about to learn that sometimes what you're looking for, is right under your nose.
SEEKING:
CALVIN - Male, any ethnicity, 18+ to play 17. Charming, witty and lovable, but not traditionally good looking (for clarity of plot, he ideally has a big nose). Maybe a bit on the nerdy side. Funny, self-aware, super-intelligent, and a bit neurotic. VOCAL RANGE: Baritone up to F#.
MATT - Male, any ethnicity, 18+ to play 17. Athletic, likable, happy-go-lucky, earnest, and not what you’d call intelligent. Standard pretty-boy jock, but with a good heart and good intentions. Think Zac Efron in the original “High School Musical”. VOCAL RANGE: Bari-tenor with a rock sound, must be able to belt an A.
ROSANNA - Female, any ethnicity, 18+ to play 17. Sweet, good-hearted girl-next-door. Gorgeous but unaware of how gorgeous she is. Popular but not arrogant, she’s the head cheerleader that everyone loves. VOCAL RANGE: Soprano or mix-y high belt.
BRET - Female, any ethnicity, 18+ to play 17. Quirky, witty, sarcastic but lovable. Not what we’d consider “conventionally” good-looking, but beautiful in her own way. Alternative, indie, “best friend” vibe. Think Juno in “Juno”. VOCAL RANGE: Alto with a good high belt/mix up to D
