Announcement: Wicked, An Abridged Radio Show

[author_by_night]

So I'm doing a "radio show" of Wicked - basically, the Abridged version of it. Think Movie in Fifteen Minutes or Book A Minute meets A Prarie Home Companion. (The radio show, NOT the movie!) Note that it will have spoilers, so be cautious.

Anyway, I need a cast. I already have a few people, but I need the following:

1. A DJ. Must be able to be loud and slightly annoying.

2. A Wizard. *
 
3. A Fiyero. * 

4. A Boq. *

5. Assorted Ozians... I'd say five to six people would work. 

6. A Dr. Dillamond. * Must be able - and willing - to "baaa" a lot.

7. Two audience members - a Glinda/Elphaba shipper and a cynic who keeps pointing out that everything is forshadowing.


* With the male roles, you don't have to be a guy, but you should be able to at least talk with a bit of a low voice. Especially with the wizard.

Roles I already have cast, but might need a standby  for if something doesn't work out:

1. Elphaba, currently claimed by PixieDragon.

2. Madame Morrible, currently claimed by julibeth.

3. Nessarose, currently claimed by linda_lupos.

4. Dorothy, currently claimed by me.

5. Glinda, currently claimed by lady_sarai. 

6. Dr. Dillamond, currently claimed by parsimonia.

If you're interested, or know anyone who might be, please let me know! No singing is involved. Also, give me a few roles you'd like to play, in some cases I'll simply cast the same person.

Oh that's awesome. I'll do anything that's needed! I'm kinda tempted to do Doctor Dillamond, though I would have to fake a male voice, so it may not be that great. But a Goat may have a higher-pitched voice, right? lol

If you're after a cynic... *grins*

I would so totally be the Glinda/Elphaba shipper, but my comp's mike is screwing up...I might be able to convince my sister to let me use hers if it's a one-time deal.

Well, my voice varies from a distant Keanu Reeves monotone to an earnest tone with a limited set of intonations like... um, Brandon Routh in "Superman Returns." Lux once told me that my voice sounded exactly like Connor on "Angel." I don't know if that's any sort of guide.
