Audition for "All Shook Up"

Posted: March 20, 2023

By: Inigo Theatrical Productions of Seattle University


All Shook Up is a musical comprised of Elvis songs, in which a town of people are changed by a traveling roustabout. People end up falling in love, and each character has their own separate ways they have been changed. It's a really campy comedy.

Inigo Theatrical Productions is looking to fill four featured roles, as well as ensemble members—they will work with however much time you are able to dedicate. They have two masculine roles (Dean and Earl) and two feminine roles (Sylvia and Matilda) available, but casting is gender-blind, so all actors can audition for any of these roles. 

E-mail robertsonabi@seattleu.edu to audition!

  • Sylvia is the owner of a popular tavern and mother to a rebellious daughter. She has been jaded by men and has lost hope in a happy ending for her. She is witty and wisecracking.
  • Matilda is the mayor of the town, who has banned public affection, singing, and dancing. She wants order and control.
  • Dean is Matilda's son. He attended a military school and is very stiff until he starts feeling romantically attracted to another character.
  • Earl is the officer accompanying the mayor. He rarely speaks and is often interrupted by Matilda. He can be a physically comedic role.

Each role has a varying level of commitment, with Sylvia and Dean having more of a time commitment, as some scenes involving them have already been blocked. Ensemble members are also needed, if that is more your style. The music director is happy to work with you if you are unsure about vocals for a role.

Rehearsals are Fridays 5-8 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays, 2-6:30 p.m. Not every role is called the entire time and your schedule can be accommodated when the call sheet is made. If you're interested in being involved, feel free to stop by rehearsals any time!

If there are any questions, please e-mail the show director, Abby Robertson, at their e-mail: robertsonabi@seattleu.edu.
