SEEKING:
[JESUS OF NAZARETH] Rock tenor; 20s- 30s. Chest voice B2-Ab4, powerful falsetto/scream up to G5. This role demands a well-rounded baritone voice that also has a super extended upper register - virtuosity coupled with sensitive musicianship a must. Think James Taylor meets Steven Tyler. A true “rock star”, comfortable addressing a group of 12 or an arena of 12,000. This role does not dance but must be comfortable moving. MUST SING WITH PRECISION. MUST PLAY GUITAR.
[JUDAS ISCARIOT] CAST. Seeking back ups. Rock/soul tenor; 20s-30s. (E3-D4 (+)). This role requires an agile and sensitive voice with access to extremely high registers across a full dynamic range. Stylistically drawing a great deal from soul music, useful reference points would be Stevie Wonder/Murray Head. He is the antagonist of the show, concerned that fame is getting in the way of the message of social justice. Someone who can tell a story through a melody, with exquisite diction and intonation. This role does not dance but must be comfortable moving. MUST SING WITH PRECISION.
[MARY MAGDALENE] Belt mezzo; 20s –30s. (G#3-C5) ALTERNATIVE/TRUE ROCK VOCAL STYLISTS. This is NOT a “TRADITIONAL” Musical Theatre vocal sound. Former prostitute, now follower of Jesus, grappling with her feelings and her faith. A singer who can communicate her solo as more than just a simple love song. This role does not dance but must be comfortable moving. Drawing its influence from early 70s pop, this role requires musical simplicity & excellent phrasing. Think Joni Mitchell/Carol King. MUST SING WITH PRECISION (No riffing required)
[PONTIUS PILATE] Baritone or Baritenor; 30s – 40s. (A2-Bb4) A strong baritone with extended high register. Think Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant. A diverse musical journey through both acts requires a singer of great stillness, yet with the ability to tear the roof off in the final bars MUST SING WITH PRECISION. GUITAR PLAYING PREFERRED.
[ANNAS] 30s – 40s. (E3-D5) Funky high rock/soul tenor, with a great flair for swing & groove. Shrill, tightly wound, sadistic high priest. Strong Mover. MUST SING WITH PRECISION.
[CAIAPHAS] low bass (C#2-F4). 30s - 40s. A strong bass with a baritone range. Must have great feel for groove & an astonishing musical presence. Should look and act very cool. Strong Mover. MUST SING WITH PRECISION.
