About the casting – there are no roles that are pre-cast. We are auditioning for all of them. The artistic team is determined to cast with a certain amount of gender flexibility, based on available talent. We welcome performers of all gender identities and expressions, and encourage everyone to audition for any role that interests them. We are particularly interested in the role of Buttercup being cast as a drag performer, inspired by Jinx Monsoon’s dynamic and comedic portrayal in Pirates on Broadway, which brought fresh energy and inclusivity to the role. Sailors, Sisters, Cousins and Aunts ensembles may also include performers of any gender identity. If you are interested in being considered for a gender-flexible role or drag performance, please indicate this on your audition form which can be found here:
