Comments
A comedy musical from the writer of Evil Dead The Musical and the composer of After the Rain. This light, campy, holiday comedy debuted last year at Toronto’s Second City to much critical acclaim and is now back in a brand new venue at The Terminal Theatre. We are looking for some comedic musical theatre performers who have strong pop/rock voices, are good movers, and are ready to have some fun in our overly-happy, winter wonderland. We welcome and encourage submissions from performers of all backgrounds, abilities, and ethnicities as we are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion within this selection process. Performance dates: as above
Storyline
This stage show takes the predictable plot of every Christmas romance movie on Netflix, Hallmark, and Lifetime… and combines it with 17 hilariously unpredictable songs.

Producer is willing to dedicate a show date for performer covering to play the role. Also covers the roles of RIVAL and CHILD In covering THE CHILD, this is an adult playing a 7 year-old girl. Sweet, childlike, and smarter than everyone else on the stage. She is sometimes the sole voice of reason amongst all the nonsense that surrounds her. Sings a fun Olivia Rodrigo-style number. (high belt). In covering THE RIVAL, this is the arch-enemy to our lead character. This woman loves Christmas, and tries to thwart our lead at every turn. She’s often pretending to be nice with a phony smile, but can turn aggressive and loud in a heartbeat. She’s a villain, but a fun villain who we grow to love. Vocal range: Soprano | ||
