Based on Nik Cohn's 1975 New York Magazine article "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night" and Norman Wexler's 1977 screenplay it inspired, "Saturday Night Fever" focuses on Tony Manero, a Brooklyn youth whose weekend is spent at the local discotheque. There he luxuriates in the admiration of the crowd and a growing relationship with Stephanie Mangano, and can temporarily forget the realities of his life, including a dead-end job in a paint store.
We will be casting the following roles:
Tony Manero (Lead - Tenor to A)
Plays 19, extremely handsome Brooklyn Italian. King of his circle, he projects machismo with a vulnerability beneath. Extremely charismatic. Believable Brooklyn accent, strong dancer with a killer pop/rock voice.
Stephanie Mangano (Principal - Mezzo with belt to D)
Plays 20, extremely beautiful Brooklyn Italian. Projects overconfidence and pretension but is really a simple girl trying to be more than what she came from. Must be genuinely likable. Believable Brooklyn accent. Killer voice and very strong dancer.
Annette (Principal - Mezzo with belt to Eb)
Plays 18-20, attractive Brooklyn. Innocent, insecure, needy. She tries to mask her vulnerability with toughness. Believable Brooklyn accent. Strong dancer with show-stopping voice.
Bobby C (Principal - Tenor to Ab)
Plays 18-20, awkward Brooklyn Italian. One of "the Faces" (Tony's gang). Insecure and needy. A troubled soul who tries too hard. Believable Brooklyn accent, strong mover with a show-stopping pop voice.
Frank Jr. (Principal- Tenor to Ab)
Plays 25-30. Tony's brother. Brooklyn Italian genuine, paternal, spiritual energy. Believable Brooklyn accent, strong mover with a strong pop/rock voice.
Monty/Frank Sr. (Supporting - Bari/Tenor to G w/strong falsetto)
Plays 40-60, versatile actor/singer/dancer to play two roles. Monty- handsome, womanizing, high-energy, DJ with a genuinely likable nod to 60's free-spirited sexuality. Frank Sr.- Tony's Brooklyn Italian, iron-fisted father who leads with bloated pride in the face of unemployment.
Flo Manero (Supporting - Mezzo)
Plays 40-60, Tony's Brooklyn Italian mother. Opinionated, devout Catholic. Movement a plus.
Double J (Featured- Bari/Tenor)
Plays 18-25, (Tony cover) handsome Brooklyn Italian lady's man. One of "the Faces" (Tony's gang). Genuinely tough guy, cocky, a criminal in the making. Believable Brooklyn accent. Strong dancer with a good pop voice.
Gus (Featured - Bari/Tenor)
Plays 18-25, (Bobby C cover) cute Brooklyn Italian. One of "the Faces" (Tony's gang). Bumbling klutz, a little befuddled. A follower. Believable Brooklyn accent. Strong dancer with good pop voice.

Come prepared with your best 16-32 bars of 2 contrasting up-tempo pieces in Pop style. Sheet music is required in the proper key. Be prepared to dance and read sides. Singers will also perform in our 2nd production show. Vocal versatility a plus.
Dancers/Ensemble
We are casting versatile dancers with excellent technique in Ballet and Jazz. Dancers to take on a variety of character roles and will also perform in a high-energy, aerial show. Must possess well developed, strong bodies to sustain rigorous demands of the program.
