‘HIGH FIDELITY’ – NOTICE EXPIRES SEP. 1 - Fidelity Theatricals is casting High Fidelity, the musical. Production states: "If you don’t see a role available on this list it means that it has already been cast. Please also note when auditioning, that you must be 18+ by the time of the rehearsals. The only role that’s cast is Rob, all the other roles like the Ex’s and such are coupled as ensemble roles, so if you’re cast in the ensemble you’ll be playing select ensemble roles. This goes for both male and female characters. Depending on how much money we make from our 2024 season, I'd like for the show to run for a weekend. It’s going to be in December 2024 and the venue is not chosen yet. As you know we did a series of cabarets this year. Next year what I’m going to be doing is the following, I’m going to do a small-scale concert show every other month leading up until December 2024. All shows will be before 'High Fidelity,' they will be at 'Don’t Tell Mama.' Those shows are not cast yet, so look out. The reason I’m doing these other shows is because I want to raise money to eventually put on a full production of 'High Fidelity.' I’m doing all these shows next year so we can have enough money to do 'High Fidelity' in December. Pay is something that is not guaranteed. It fully depends on how much money we raise and how much we make from doing the show. Because it’s not a paid gig people tend to drop out of gigs that are not paid for gigs that do pay. Which I completely understand. So for the show, I will be casting understudies for every single role and if an ensemble actor drops, we’ll figure it out along the way." Rehearses and performs in NYC, exact venue is TBD. Pay Deferred: Profit Share. Seeking—“Dick:” Lead, Male, 18-30, A shy and awkward music nerd; “Barry:” Lead, Male, 18-30, A Jack Black type.
