About the play: They’re Playing Our Song is a two character musical comedy with book by Neil Simon, Music by Marvin Hamlish and lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager. It is based on the real life up and down relationship between Hamlish and Sager.
Characters:
Sonia Walsk - 25 - 35 - An up and coming lyricist, she has one hit to her name. She is quirky and free thinking, confident in her working ability, insecure about love, slightly ditsy but lovable. She is fresh out of her relationship of five years with Leon, sort of.
Vernon Gersch - 35-50 - Famous composer, he has an Oscar and two Grammy’s. He is looking for a new lyricist. He is neurotic, cynical with a very sarcastic sense of humor but can also be charming. He has not been in a relationship for a while.
Sonia’s And Vernon’s Voices - 3 Men, 3 Women - 25 - 50 - Singing roles only - Both characters have “voices” that act as a Greek chorus. They represent aspects of the characters and comment on the action as well as interact with their counterparts.
They will also help with scene changes.
ALL ARE WELCOME
Please prepare 16-32 bars of a contemporary, MT, or folk song that displays expressive qualities of the voice (flexibility, ease, tone, etc.) with sheet music. An accompanist will be provided. There will be cold readings from the script.
Please be sure you are available on the 25th in case you are called back!
