If you have radioactive blood and can catch thieves just like flies while singing bombastic show tunes, you better get to one of the upcoming auditions for Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark.
The Broadway musical directed by Tony Award winner Julie Taymor (The Lion King), written by Glen Berger and featuring music and lyrics by U2's Bono and The Edge will begin previews at New York City's Hilton Theatre next January, but the first open casting call will be held next week.
Casting agents are seeking principals and understudies for the roles of Peter Parker, Mary Jane and the lead female villain.
"The production is looking for performers with dynamic rock/pop voices including those with experience in bands and as solo performers," says a press release. "Regardless of experience, anyone who thinks they might be qualified is encouraged to audition.”
The lead female villain role could be challenging to fill, as they're looking for "an amazing rock voice. Think Sinead O’Connor with a Middle Eastern/Bulgarian/Greek twist. Foreign and/or world music types are great. Foreign accents are great."
The first round of auditions will be held in Orlando, New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago and Austin, Texas. More details on what the casting agents are looking for — as well as days, times and locations — can be found here.
Those interested in auditioning should bring a "photo of themselves and a brief pop/rock or rock song to sing a capella." We suggest you practice this one over the weekend:
