A Brother, A Butcher, A Baker, Or Any Old Part?

I have officially decided which show I will be auditioning for this summer.  While I loved my experience in the melodrama a few summers ago, I have to go with the big musical extravaganza of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  Nothing beats a big, fun, and energetic musical.  Plays are fun to do but for the past well… forever, if a musical is being done, I am all for it.  Now… which role to try out for….

  • the Elvis channeling Pharoah?  I am an Elvis fan, but not the best Elvis channeler.
  • Potiphar… never cared for the role.  I can’t recall but I think that he was double cast in another role in productions I have been involved with.
  • The baker or butler could be fun, but limited roles… possibility.
  • There are a few of the 11 brothers (good men and true) I could see myself as and if anyone knows the show and myself well enough they should be able to take a stab at at least one of my choices.
  • Jacob… well, I did just finish playing Grandpa Prophater.
  • Joseph, himself?  I dunno… how old was Donnie Osmond when he stepped into the part in the 90s?

Well, I have a few weeks to narrow my choices unless I decide to say give my anything and sing everything from the show.
