Dolls & Guys
Dolls & Guys is a night of big songs, bold choices, and gloriously unconventional casting, where performers take on roles they'd never normally get the chance to play. Expect familiar songs turned on their head, surprising interpretations, powerhouse vocals, comedy, heart, and plenty of moments that make you hear a favourite number in a completely new way. This event challenges traditional casting briefs by swapping gender, ignoring type, and reimagining characters. It's an opportunity to see what happens when great performers approach great material without being limited by conventional expectations, focusing on talent rather than traditional roles. Join John Milligan at the piano and a fabulous lineup of performers for a night of musical theatre magic. Grab a drink, gather your musical theatre-loving friends, and settle in for iconic roles, unexpected performers, and songs you love with a completely different spin. Aspiring performers are also invited to submit video auditions. Choose a song from a role you wouldn't traditionally be cast to play, crossing gender, age, character type, or vocal stereotype. For submission deadlines, performer details, and application instructions, visit gaypianobar.com/community.
