| Role # 1 Younger Man |  |
| Seeking 1 talent(s) for this role Younger Man: Plays characters ages mid 20s-mid 30s. Actor plays the most roles of anyone in the show and must be adept at creating a whole range of specific and varied characters. Roles include Bill Graham: 53. Real-life concert promoter who ran Winterland and the legendary Fillmore, and also produced Live Aid and Woodstock. Tough, still-rough-on-the-edges, highly accomplished self-made success w/a true passion for music, but not a man you would want to cross. Actor also plays Cassiel: One of the angels from the Wim Wenders movie "Wings of Desire". Calm and deeply compassionate, yet unable to engage fully in the human lives he witnesses. When Cassiel sings, he must reflect this calm and compassionate composure; he?s never strained or over-the-top. Audition song could be any melodic pop song that shows off the tenor range and ring. Tenor; low G up to high B. Searchable talent specs : Gender: Male Age: from 25 to 35 |

Loves her family, but can be manipulative (though she?d never see that in herself). Actor also plays Isis: Groupie w/big dreams. Working at a record company. Also plays Tarot Expert: Airy, fairy New Age devotee. Audition song can be like a dreamy rock ballad (something by Heart, Cyndi Lauper, etc; anything from ?Rock of Ages?).

Angry, bitter, physically abusive bully who was bullied by his own father. Should be threatening & intimidating (though need not be physically imposing; it?s more about the energy & menace). Also plays John Hammond: 70s. Real-life talent scout for Columbia Records?. Was considered legendary due to the enormous talents (from Basie to Springsteen) he discovered. The emotional opposite of Father: optimistic, positive and ebullient. Bigger than life. Speaks w/a patrician accent that reflects his privileged upbringing as a Vanderbilt. Actor must be able to distinctly pull off both sides of the coin w/these two men. Audition song can be anything rock, but needs to have drive & energy ? a real push of ?oomph? present.

In an effort to figure out what it all means, he explores the path of his life that has led him to where he is now, at a place of questioning what to do next.

MUST be an excellent guitarist & be able to drive & carry the show. Low G to A above middle C. Searchable talent specs : Gender: Male Age: from 35 to 45 |
