After Us: a Homestuck Ancestor Musical

After Us: a Homestuck Ancestor Musical

Project Overview

This project is a continuation of my Homestuck series; Homestuck in Musical form! This musical will specificity  center around the ancestors; it’s titled “After Us” After Emptyfeet’s animation of the same name! The musical will be published through YouTube and tumblr.


The most important aspect to consider as an actor or a writer of this  project is COMMITMENT. This is a PARODY MUSICAL, which means it contains songs from already existing musicals with new (sometimes entirely rewritten) lyrics! You MUST be willing to learn new music and lyrics. After the audition will be a callback process, in which we will move to the app LINE. THE APP LINE IS 100% A REQUIREMENT TO  WORK ON THIS PROJECT. 

I cast with the best interest of my show in mind. I expect you to have the same respect for this project as I do. This is a STRICTLY hate-free zone.

The finished product is a musical with around 50 songs, published one by one and worked on roughly in order. I understand this project Is long, but I expect you to stay committed throughout. Ai expect to have the show casted by the end of February and the project done by the time the school year starts.

Some reminders for you;

I didn't forget about the Psiioniic; I'm taking the role myself!

This musical is DARK, and contains DARK themes. There's no minimum age requirement, but please be able to cover serious topics. We go in-depth in slavery and cover some pretty hardcore executions. We also cover the rape scene that half the fandom pretends never happened. I mention in the audition which characters are involved with that; so you can avoid them if you'd like!

The Signless
open
Unpaid

The Signless is the troll that turns the planet on its head. Born a mutant outcast and raised by a mother (something trolls are not), his visions cause him to aspire for equality throughout the planet. He is strong, stubborn, and peaceful. A POWERFUL MALE VOICE is required with a strong baritone/tenor register.

  • Sing a song you think fits this character! Some good choices would be a male song from a classic musical, or anything else that fits a strong male voice. Any song will be accepted as long as it's musical theatre!

The Handmaiden
open
Unpaid

Voice and character descriptionThe Handmaid serves as narrator of the story for most of the time. She is quiet, and mysteriously sexy sounding. She sings at an alto register with minor belting. She is shrouded in mystery, being the legendary time-traveling "Demoness" of Alternia, and should talk and present herself as such.


A slight Japanese accent would be FANTASTIC, but not required.

  • Sing a musical theatre song you think fits this character! Reminder that she is, above all else, mysterious; any sort of "Narrator" song would work fantastically too!

The Summoner
open
Unpaid

After the Signless (Spoiler Alert!) Dies, the Summoner takes up his revolution. His methods are, unsurprisingly, different, and he quickly reverts to violence to spread equality across the planet. Think of his as a natural-born Enjolras; headstrong, full of vibrant energy, and drop-dead gorgeous.


Summoner sings with a strong baritone voice, and should sound somewhat prideful/cocky perpetually. He thinks he's great.

  • *Say something you think would fit*

The Disciple
open
Unpaid

Disciple is both Signless's smitten lover and his most devout follower. She faithfully copies his sermons, and idolizes everything he does. She outlives and survives his death, banished to a life of exile. Pretty depressing, man.


Her voice should be quiet and mousy, light, sweet. She's actually best described as a light-mezzo, but a soprano could easily play her!

  • Sing a musical theatre song you think fits this character! A reminder that she is sweet and sincere, and a quiet soprano song would probably be your best bet!

Voice Actor
The Dolorosa
open
Unpaid

The Dolorosa is the Signless's mother, and perhaps the first and only mother on Alternia. She accepts the role gladly and takes the other rebels under her wing as well, acting as their spokeperson and caretaker. She is warmheated and soft-spoken. She is a warm soprano, and has the closest voice to operatic in the musical (it doesnt have to be, though!)


A *CRUCIAL* reminder that this character is sexually abused in this musical, (a lot of people like to pretend it never happened but that ain't for me) so if that topic makes you uncomfortable, it's best to avoid her! 

I'd love a slight English accent, but it's not necessary!

  • Sing a musical theatre song you think fits this character! A mother song would be your best bet-she is kind and caring, and soft-spoken

Neophyte Redglare
open
Unpaid

The Neophyte Redglare is a new deputy to her job serving Alternian Law-and BOY, does she LOVE the law. Her penchant is justice and doing what's right for her government. When quested with killing the radical Marquise Mindfang, she has one teensy tiny problem-that she actually BELIEVES In hemoequality. She's a lot of fun to play!


Redglare is the most alto-iest alto in the show, the role which requires the least belting! Lots of acting, though!

  • Sing something you think suits this character! Remember that she is a STRONG and EMPOWERED woman-sing something with gusto!

Voice Actor
Marquise Spinneret Mindfang
open
Unpaid

Mindfang is arguably the lead in this musical, starting strong and taking center position after Signless dies, She's headstrong, stubborn, and kind of a huge bitch, but she's able to redeem herself, find love, and fight for a good cause by the end of the musical.


She belts, a LOT, More than anyone in the show. Be ready for that! She's best described as an Alto or a Warm Mezzo

A SERIOUS reminder that Mindfang is the perpetrator of sexual abuse in this musical and takes it quite lightly; not considering its consequences until a later time. If that bothers you strongly, avoid auditioning for her!

  • Sing something that you think fits this character! A reminder to PLEASE SHOW ME YOU CAN BELT; because she does a HELL OF A LOT OF IT

E%ecutor Darkleer/The E%patriate
open
Unpaid

Darkleer begins the show as a quiet and soft-spoken loyalist, working uncertainly as an executioner under the crown. After he falls in love with the girl he's been assigned to kill, he lets her go, causing his banishment from the empire. He struggles with self-identification for a while after this.


His voice should be deep but not overly powerful; he's not a very confident man.

  • Sing a theatre song you think best fits this character! Please show off your low range and sing something that shows both a capability to be strong and quiet!

The Grand Highblood
open
Unpaid

Though not the main villain of After Us, the Highblood certainly stands as one. He's a bloodthirsty murderer, through and through, devout to leading his juggalo cult (yes, really) and murdering innocent lowbloods for the sake of the crown. He plans a few murderous schemes and works with the Neophyte to commit a few murders. He's a fun character!


He hits the lowest notes in the show, and his voice should be strong and very powerful!

  • Sing a musical theatre song you think fits this character! Think DEEP, POWERFUL, and maybe a bit MURDEROUS.

Voice Actor
Orphaner Dualscar
open
Unpaid

Orphaner Dualscar is a hardened man, toughened from the strongest hate-relationship of the seven sees, that with the Spinneret Mindfang, and his job as professional parent-murderer. (Yes, really.) He falls in love with his newest slave, and when Mindfang breaks her heart by stealing her from him, he goes on a quest for revenge.


A SERIOUS warning that Dualscar is the main contender in our song centered around Sexual Abuse (though not actually a member of the event.) If this bothers you, consider skipping this character!

You know that pirate accent, make him sound like that. Slight Scottish would be GREAT, actually!

He has a powerful tenor range and must be able to ACT powerfully.

  • Sing a song you think fits this character! Show off a strong tenor range and a lot of acting ability.

)(er Imperious Condescension
open
Unpaid

**A STRONG Preference will be shown for an actress who also auditions for Homestuck: The musical!**


Ruthless, Cunning, Crafty, Confident, and drop-dead sexy, the Condesce rules over Alternia with an iron fist, and she intends to keep it that way, thank you very much. When stopped in her tracks by not 1, but 2 rebellions, she'll do anything to put an end to them. After all, she's the *only* one to bring this planet to power-hungry perfection.

Condesce is a warm, sexy-sounding alto (But she also sings Dead Girl Walking, so be ready for those notes!)

  • Sing a song you think fits this character! Remember; sexy evil female villain. Show off some nice alto register or Belting!
