Les Miserables GENDERSWAPPED Full Musical Cover (ONE FEMALE AND ONE MALE SINGER)

Les Miserables GENDERSWAPPED Full Musical Cover (ONE FEMALE AND ONE MALE SINGER)

Project Overview

This project is a very long ongoing project I have been working on for about five years now that I devote my time to when not working on other projects.

Here's the twist about this full cover: All roles will be genderswapped!

After a lot of hard work, we are FINALLY in the home stretch!  The only roles open are Jean Valjean and Monsieur Thenardier.  All other roles have either already been completed and/or cast.

This casting call will remain open until I have the cast members I need.

RULES:

1. You MUST be committed to the project!  After losing actors about 60+ times, I will be much stricter about how long you can stay on before you will be replaced.  At the very least, tell me if you must drop out so I'm not sitting around waiting for lines that are never going to come.

2. For the sake of auditions, just sing the words as originally written.  Changes will be made during the actual project.

3. It is HIGHLY PREFERRED that your audition have an instrumental of the song requested.  This is to ensure that you sing in the correct key and can hit the right notes.

4. It is preferable that you have some sort of musical background and can read sheet music, or at least be able to harmonize.  Sheet music of the full score will be provided to all cast members to assist with learning notes and harmonies.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Recording for this project will NOT  be something that you can pump out in an hour. It will take time to learn all of the proper parts and harmonies. I usually give everyone about a month to record their portion, but I am always very willing to extend deadlines and I'm very understanding of life circumstances. That being said, I also won't sit around for six months waiting for you to record your part. I will need confirmation that you are still committed.

Payment will be given to the person cast upon SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE ROLE.  I have had multiple people disappear throughout the course of this project, some unpaid and some paid.  I'm not going to give whoever is cast money until I have all the lines I need so that I don't waste my time and money for someone who is not dedicated.  It will be administered through PayPal, so you must have a PayPal account.

These roles require a good deal of emotion and a wide vocal range.  Show me everything you have in the audition, so I know you will do so in the real thing.  Your audition will show me if you are capable of handling a large role with both low and high notes.

Above all, make sure to have fun!

Jean Valjean
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 50 USD
cast offsite

The lead of the show.  She has spent 19 years in prison for trying to steal a loaf of bread for her brother's child.  After being released and failing to secure wages due to her prison record, she attempts to rob a nun who shows kindness to her.  But when the nun releases her from soldiers and saves her from returning to prison, she vows to change in order to repay the nun for her kindness, breaking her parole.  She goes on to become the mayor of the city.  One night, she saves a prostitute, Fantine, from being arrested after being falsely accused of attacking a woman.  Fantine begs her to take care of his son before dying in her arms.  When Javert, the police captain with a vendetta against Valjean, learns her true identity, she must run in order to escape punishment for violating parole.  After this, she saves the son of Fantine from living as a servant in the home of the Thenardiers. 

Cosette, Fantine's son, grows up in her care.  Upon finding out one of the students, Marius, planning the revolution has fallen in love with her son, Valjean goes to help in order to protect her son's love.  When Javert is captured, she voluntarily releases her.  The battle rages on and nearly everyone is killed.  She carefully carries away Marius to find her medical care.  After saving her, she goes away in order to protect her son and his love from her past.  She and her son and her new daughter-in-law reunite just before her death.

Very, very wide range.  Many belt notes.  Both alto notes and soprano notes, sometimes in the same song.  Must be able to hit both.

I generally recommend singing in your lower register for "Who Am I" so that you have room to belt and give a lot of energy and power to the last note.

*Please tell me what your vocal range is and any vocal training you may have*

    Who am I?
    Can I condemn this man to slavery
    Pretend I do not feel his agony
    This innocent who bears my face
    Who goes to judgement in my place
    Who am I?
    Can I conceal myself for evermore?
    Pretend I'm not the man I was before?
    And must my name until I die
    Be no more than an alibi?
    Must I lie?
    How can I ever face my fellow men?
    How can I ever face myself again?
    My soul belongs to God, I know
    I made that bargain long ago
    He gave me hope when hope was gone
    He gave me strength to journey on

    Who am I? Who am I?
    I am Jean Valjean!

    And so Javert, you see it's true
    That man bears no more guilt than you!
    Who am I?
    24601!

    Bring him peace

    Bring him joy

    He is young

    He is only a boy

    You can take

    You can give

    Let him be

    Let him live

    If I die, let me die

    Let him live

    Bring him home

    Bring him home

    Bring him home.

Monsieur Thenardier
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 25 USD
Role assigned to: JBC

Madame Thenardier's equally scheming husband and the father of Eponine.  While his wife tends the inn, he helps her steal everyone blind.  He is extremely cruel to Cosette, treating the young boy like a slave and only considering him to be a burden.  When Valjean comes to claim Cosette, he assists his wife in making a good profit off him.  They are later seen on the street attempting to steal from people by pretending to have a hungry child.  Valjean appears and they expose her to Javert.

The two of them attend Cosette and Marius's wedding, but Marius punches Thenardier's wife in the face, showing them that they are no longer wanted.  He and his wife just laugh it off and go off to continue robbing from people in their inn.

Very rough and scratchy/screechy voice.   COCKNEY ACCENT REQUIRED.  Some belt notes.  Most appropriate for a tenor.

    Now look who's here

    The little madam herself!

    Pretending once again she's been 'so awfully good',

    Better not let me catch you slacking

    Better not catch my eye!

    Ten rotten francs your mother sends me

    What is that going to buy?

    Now take that pail

    My little 'Mademoiselle'

    And go and draw some water from the well!

    We should never have taken you in in the first place

    How stupid, the things that we do!

    Like mother like daughter, the scum of the street.

    Eponine, come my dear, Eponine, let me see you

    You look very well in that new little blue hat

    There's some little girls who know how to behave

    And they know what to wear

    And I'm saying thank heaven for that.

    Still there Cosette?

    Your tears will do you no good.

    I told you fetch some water from the well in the wood...

    That would quite fit the bill

    If she hadn't so often been ill

    Little dear, cost us dear

    Medicines are expensive, M'sieur

    Not that we begrudged a sou

    It's no more than we Christians must do!

    One thing more, one small doubt

    There are treacherous people about

    No offense, please reflect

    Your intentions may not be... Correct?
