ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE (SINGERS, ACTORS, & RAPPERS NEEDED FOR ZOMBIE MUSICAL)

Project Overview

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!

Anna and the Apocalypse was a Sundance Festival hit, and hit theatres in 2018. A zombie Christmas musical, this comedy blends all three genres seamlessly, in a rip roaring good time that you won't soon forget. This project will be transforming the movie into an audio production, with two extra songs included. All actors must be very strong singers, and actors, and as the show takes place in Scotland, able to perform Scottish or English accents. Obviously, because zombies means drama, everyone MUST be able to convey emotion effectively through their speaking voices.  


The synopsis is:

A zombie apocalypse threatens the sleepy town of Little Haven - at Christmas - forcing Anna and her friends to fight, slash and sing their way to survival, facing the undead in a desperate race to reach their loved ones. However, they soon discover that no one is safe in this new world, and with civilization falling apart around them, the only people they can truly rely on are each other.

.


MUST HAVE REQUIREMENTS!!!

1. A decent microphone. Snowball quality minimum

2. Excellent Work Ethic and Attitude 

3. Ability to perform various UK accents

4. FUN

Role assigned to: LARussell

Mezzo-Sop / Soprano 

Anna is a 17 year old senior, with dreams of traveling Australia after she graduates. Her single parent father is loving, and she loves him, but his overbearing nature makes Anna push away in a time when she wants to become her own person. She is smart, headstrong, and brave, but not cruel. There is a gentleness and honesty to her that makes her effortlessly likable. She's not afraid to say what she thinks, and is kind to people around her. Anna is very levelheaded and collected, and is not prone to outbursts unless provoked. 

Please note that while English or Scottish are the desired accents, ANY UK accent will be acceptable.


  • Sing something musical theatre style. Anna's voice is a typical musical theatre lead, pretty, effortless, and pure. 

  • I’m going on a trip all right? That’s all it is. Dad, I- Can we talk about this later? I- (exploding) Im not going to Uni! (softening) I’m not going. I- I don’t mean ever. I just want to travel before I do, take a gap year. It’s Australia first, an open ticket- Just me. On my own. I need to break away.

  • Jesus, Nick? Is that what you think this is? I'm not angry about the sex. It's never been about the sex. I'm angry because we talked about our future, and you acted like it meant something. And then you dumped me. We're a lot of things, Nick, but we've never been a team.

Role assigned to: Tangora998

Tenor

John is a 17 year old senior, best friends with Anna, and hopelessly in love with her. He adores comic books (specifically Iron Man), and is genuinely an easy going, funny, well rounded guy - a sensitive painter type, he's applied to art school in hopes of pursing a life in painting. He's intelligent but mostly soft spoken, and therefore is mercilessly picked on by Nick and his group, and seen as weak by them due to his kind nature. He is quite thrilled about the beginning of the apocalypse, because ZOMBIES, RIGHT? Despite often being fearful and disbelieving, he is brave when necessary and steps up to the plate to protect the people he loves. 

Please note that while Scottish is the desired accent, ANY UK accent will be acceptable. 


  • Sing something musical theatre style. John' voice is a typical musical theatre male lead. He is a tenor. Think Aaron Tveit, Ben Platt

  • Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Blitzen...Gizmo? No, that can’t be right. I can't remember the reindeer names. Anyway, listen to this... "Local Santa Nick Omerund was hospitalized with what appears to be the virus sweeping the nation after an alarming encounter earlier this morning. The CDC has recategorized the pandemic first thought to be a super virus strain of the flu. It has now been determined to be a lethal pathogen, seemingly capable of reanimating-" Anna... Santa might die! Do you reckon it was the Easter Bunny? I hear he's a jealous sod. 

  • You all right? I’ve never seen your dad like that before. Look. Everything's gonna be ok. Your dad will calm down, you'll go to Australia. And... I'm going to paint some really cool shit.

Role assigned to: TheBlueGirl

Alto

Steph is a 17 year old senior, the only Canadian in the school and potentially the only gay girl. She is snarky, sarcastic, often bitter and potentially rude, but she is also passionate about journalism, fighting the good fight, standing up for the homeless and downtrodden, and social justice. She is alone in Scotland, as her parents have left for Christmas and her girlfriend is back in Canada, so she is more snarky than usual. She is often the grounding pessimist of the group, despite her resourcefulness. 


  • Sing something musical theatre style. Steph's voice is a very distinct, punky musical theatre sound. Think Sophia Anne Caruso, Aimee Atkinson

  • Chris. Uh, I need you to film something. Savage keeps screwing with the blog, so I want to bypass the school completely and do a video.  If we go to the soup kitchen tonight, we can have it in before Christmas, and people will see that there’s actually a problem. 

    Miss Wright said you needed something real. This is real. (he agrees) Yeah? Thank you. Thank you. Cool. Yeah, uhm. Let’s see that asshole try and stop this one. (She is unbelievably awkward.) Uhm. Bye.

Tenor

Chris is a 17 year old senior, who wants to be a filmmaker someday. The boy next door with a genuine personality to match, he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, and is more concerned with "awesome" than real. Despite that, he is a good friend, and he is determined, brave when necessary, and hopelessly devoted to his girlfriend, Lisa. A bit of a bro, but in the best way possible. 

Please note that while English or Scottish are the desired accents, ANY UK accent will be acceptable.


  • Sing something musical theatre style. Chris' voice is a true musical theatre male, he is the romantic, boy next door type. Thin Hans (Santino Fontana) from Frozen

  • Hey, Steph? Can you check this? It’s my showreel for Miss Wright. She said it needs to be “real”... I’m not sure if it’s ready yet. I’ve tried, but. I don’t know. (proudly) I did an action reel for the movie "Alien". You see the explosions, and special effects... (less sure) and guns... the fires.... (Defeated) I’m going to fail.

Role assigned to: Josie McMillan

Baritone / Tenor

Tony is Anna's widower father, and maintenance man at the school she attends. WHile he loves his daughter, he can be overbearing and protective. He is a good man, a kind man, who works hard and does his job well. Despite being generally mild mannered, he is unafraid to speak his mind or defend people. 

Please note that while English or Scottish are the desired accents, ANY UK accent will be acceptable. 


  • Sing something musical theatre style. Tony's voice is is warm, fatherly, and gentle but must be able to perform runs. Think Mufasa in Lion King, the Squip in Be More Chill, Marvin in Falsettos. 

  • Hot cocoa, smuggled straight from the teacher’s lounge for my favourite daughter. And one blueberry scone for you, John-boy. Speaking of, you haven't heard back from art school yet, have you? Is that quite normal? Sorry! Didn't mean anything by it... I’m sure it’ll be fine. Say, why don’t you bring Anna with you to the Christmas show tonight? Come to the show! It’s going to be a right laugh.

Role assigned to: JAYDAY

Baritone

Savage is the assistant headmaster, soon to become headmaster in the new semester of school. He is obsessed with order, righteousness, cleanliness, and discipline. He becomes irate when things don't go his way, and yells at students at the drop of a hat. Actor MUSt have excellent character range, and be willing to display insanity through their voice. 

Please note that while Posh English is the desired accent, ANY UK accent will be acceptable. 


  • Sing something musical theatre style. Savage's voice is a character voice. Think the Duke of Wesselton, or Nathan Lane. Quirky, odd, and easily able to become manic. Doesn't necessarily have to be the best singer as long as they can hold a tune

  • MISS NORTH! Drop the homeless story. It’s not ‘The Times’,  it’s a school blog. The council sets our budgets, we play nice, hopefully get new computers. Come January, this school, the students, and the blog are mine. Oh, and as I’ve told you before-

    (He extends a menacing palm)

Role assigned to: helioscentrick

Alto / Mezzo-Sop

Lisa is a 16 year old, bubbly, sweet, energetic junior at the school. She is popular, pretty, airheaded, but has all of the best intentions at heart, especially where her best friend, Anna, is concerned. She is madly in love with her boyfriend, Chris, and kisses him more than she breathes, Lisa is sexy and knows it, and is unafraid of using her sexy side to her advantage - however, she is also good hearted and kind, and a genuinely sweet girl. She speaks quickly and energetically, most things she says coming out like word vomit as she thinks them.

Please note that while Scottish is the desired accent, ANY UK accent will be acceptable. 


  • Sing something musical theatre style. Lisa's voice is jazzy, melodic, and sultry. Think Sara Bareilles, Natasha Beddingfield. Very 1940s sexy, jazz lounge singer esque 

  • Mr. Savage is utterly losing it. He made Henry Lee cry because he can’t break dance.  Henry Lee has a prosthetic, /and/ he’s only got one leg! But its mad, four more people called out sick because of that weird virus, so we’ve had to change the running order and Savage is foaming at the mouth. He keeps talking about hand sanitizer. I heard he has a parasitic twin but both babies got stuck together in the womb and now, there’s like, a baby attached to his side and he hides it underneath his jumper. So now he’s the evil twin and the other twin is the good twin, and it tries to tell him what to do but he just ignores it. Also he’s in constant agony.

  • Ugh, Nick’s such a prick. Sure, he’s got a bod you could lick chocolate off of, but you’d have to have zero self respect to even... (Realizing her mistake) I mean, not you, Anna... of course, the others that-

    Not that there’s been loads, I’m sure it’s all rumours and... Oh, just love me!

Role assigned to: whytNoiz

Bari-Tenor with a strong falsetto and belt

Chris is a 17 year old senior, and the school heartthrob. He's also the school asshole, who is entirely aware of just how handsome and desirable he is. He and Anna dated over the year, but he broke up with her for other girls, and her now apparent hatred of him has led to him desiring to win her back. He relishes in being the leader of his idiotic group of friends, and is suave, smooth, and demanding. The typical jock type, he is prone to anger, and finds that he loves the zombie apocalypse for the fighting opportunities it brings him. Though he does not let this on to anyone else, his father is extremely abusive. 

Please note that while English is the desired accent, ANY UK accent will be acceptable. 


  • Sing something musical theatre style. Nick's voice is powerful, sexy, and a typical hearttrob musical theatre lead. Think very Jeremy Jordan in Bonnie and Clyde, Derek Klena in Dogfight

  • Cheers, ladies. Look, it’s almost Christmas, the time for forgiving, innit? Let’s go back to being friends. And, if you wanted to hook up again, well I’m sure- well, something could easily be arranged.

  • Don't have a go at me because your little fuck buddy died! You don't know anything about what I've had to do. (Breaking) My fucking dad, okay? He got bit. And.. he looked at me, handed me a bat, and said, "don't let me down. For once." So don't fucking go off at me. We've all lost someone.

  • I think lunchtime is about the worst time of day for me. Always having to sit here alone. Of course, sometimes, mornings aren’t so pleasant either. Waking up and wondering if anyone would really miss me if I never got out of bed. Then there’s the night, too. Lying there and thinking about all the stupid things I’ve done during the day. And all those hours in between when I do all those stupid things.

Well after a while, Jeff thought he saw a zombie perched low in a tree, and he shot at it. Something fell to the ground. He rushed over to it, and whaddya think it was? It was hot-head Harry.

I know your crabbiness has probably become so natural to you now that you’re not even aware when you’re being crabby, but it’s true just the same. You’re a very crabby person and you’re crabby to just about everyone you meet. Now I hope you don’t mind my saying this, Lucy, and I hope you’re take it in the spirit that it’s meant.

Role assigned to: ARedgrave

The SANTA is a drunken, rude, curmudgeonly man. He is one of the first to be bit in the apocalypse. The radio broadcaster is a typical golden voice type, new anchor delivering on some scary topics. The Teacher is kindly, and wants his students to succeed. 


The Santa can have a lower class UK accent - think Essex, Cockney, or thick Glasgow accent. Radio Broadcaster should speak with a very proper, easy to understand English dialect. The teaher can be any sort of UK accent.

  • (AS SANTA): Ho Ho (burps) Ho. Whatever. Happy Christmas. Give me money. 

  • (AS Radio Broadcaster, the broadcast is being turned on in the middle of his sentence) Some exceptionally sad news. Local Santa Nick Omerund was hospitalized with what appears to be the virus sweeping the nation after an alarming encounter earlier this morning. The CDC has recategorized the pandemic first thought to be a super virus strain of the flu. It has now been determined to be a lethal pathogen, seemingly capable of reanimating-

  • (AS Teacher) Chris... This is a trailer for the movie alien - Im not sure what its trying to say. You were meant to make something that shows YOU. You're a bright boy, Chris. I believe in you.
