VIRTUAL OPEN CALL for the upcoming workshop of the new musical THE LOST BOYS.
Telsey will be holding an online, virtual open call for Rock Singers.
The Lost Boys is a 1987 cult classic horror-comedy about two brothers who move to a coastal California town plagued by a vampire gang. Directed by Joel Schumacher, the film follows teenager Michael, who becomes entangled with the charismatic leader of the vampire group, and his younger brother Sam, who teams up with quirky locals to save him – Seems that a new musical based on that film is currently being work shopped and the casting directors are holding video auditions for singers.

CURRENTLY SEEKING:
[MICHAEL] Character portrayed is male, 17-18. The oldest of the Emerson boys. Our brooding teen, conflicted and a bit of a loner. He’s become the protector of the family and has grown up quicker than he should’ve. Deep down he longs to be a part of a tribe where he belongs and finds connection. Rock Bari-tenor.
[SAM] Character is male, 18+ to play 15. Michael’s younger teen brother. Back in Arizona, he developed a keen wit that acts as an effective defensive tool against bullies – both at school and at home. He’s outgoing as opposed to Michael’s introverted personality. Despite his sense of humor, Sam is sensitive and waiting to break free. High rock tenor, good falsetto.
[DAVID] Character portrayed is male, 20s. Intense, dangerous, and charismatic leader of the Lost Boys. He can disarm with a smile. He offers safety and security to all he enlists to be a part of his family. Rock bari-tenor.
[STAR] Character portrayed is female, 17-18. A teenager with a troubled past. She holds a lot of pain but is fiercely protective of showing herself. She has a biting sense of humor. High rock belt.
[EDGAR FROG] Character portrayed is male, 18+ to play 14-15. Santa Carla local. Militant in devotion and dress. He and his brother Alan have seen one too many Chuck Norris movies. They hang at the local comic book store and have both poured themselves into fighting the main threat to Santa Carla: vampires. Since no one believes them, they have to find the perfect recruits to enlist in their “army.” Rock tenor voice.
[ALAN FROG] Character portrayed can be played by any gender, 18+ to play 14. Alan is an intense, combat obsessed fourteen year old, who – alongside their brother Edgar – has made their life mission ridding the world of bloodsucking vampires. They dress in army clothes and emulate their role model; Rambo. Rock alto voice.
[MARKO] Character portrayed is male, 20s. Perhaps he’s the most loyal to David and considers himself to be the “favorite”. He’s not. He loves this family of his. Playful. Preferably can play an instrument in a rock band. Comedy chops as well as being intimidating. Strong rock voice.
[PAUL] Character portrayed is male, 20s. Marko’s best friend. Earnest. A great sense of humor. Thinks he’s David’s favorite as well. Ready to defend his brothers at any cost. Preferably can play an instrument in a rock band. Comedy chops as well as being intimidating. Strong rock voice.
[DWAYNE] Character portrayed is male, 20s. The live wire of the group. Quieter but loyal and violent. Preferably can play an instrument in a rock band. Comedy chops as well as being intimidating. Strong rock voice.
