To all of you super-buff BWW guys out there (both of you) who also sing like Phil Collins:
"An open call for the title role of the new Broadway musical Tarzan will be held Aug. 29 at the Here Arts Center.
"We're looking for exciting new talent for the starring role in Disney's next Broadway musical, Tarzan," reads a casting notice. The musical is slated for a 2006 Broadway berth at a theatre to be announced. No casting has been set, although the musical will boast a company of 34.
The role of Tarzan is described thusly: "A thrilling pop/rock singer to play in his 20s. Caught between the world of gorillas and the world of humans, Tarzan is a human raised by a family of apes in the African jungle. We must identify with him and care about him and his emotional journey. He is charming, sexy, vulnerable, animal-like, mysterious, and has lots of humanity. He is physically lean but toned, like a swimmer; he is not a muscle man as in the traditional Tarzan type. He should have strong upper body strength and be physical, agile, fearless, and very comfortable with movement and tackling aerial work. His body must be at one with the environment."
Both non-Equity and Equity singers of all cultural backgrounds are encouraged to attend the open call, which runs 9 AM to 4 PM with sign-ins beginning at 8:30 AM.
Those auditioning should prepare 16 bars of a contemporary/pop rock song showing vocal range. Auditioners may be asked to sing without accompaniment, although sheet music should be available if needed. Bring a photo (snapshot is okay) and resume.
Those unable to attend the Aug. 29 call can send, photo and resume to Tarzan Casting, 145 West 28th Street, 12th Floor, NY, NY, 10001.
The Here Arts Center is located in Manhattan at 145 Sixth Avenue, between Spring and Broome Streets. Visit www.here.org for directions."
