Alice the ALIEN
ALICE — Female | Young adult | Dynamic lead vocal range
WHO SHE IS
Alice is intelligent, compassionate, strong-minded and capable of seeing beyond the limits of Average Heights. She possesses an otherworldly confidence but also reveals uncertainty, romantic hope and genuine emotional depth. Her serious festival song expresses one of the musical’s central messages about equality, acceptance and love.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
The performer must have leading-lady presence, emotional honesty and natural warmth. She should be able to move easily between romantic comedy, thoughtful dramatic material and sincere social commentary without becoming overly sentimental. Alice should be beautiful because of her spirit, intelligence and confidence—not presented as a stereotypical “sexy alien.”
VOCAL REQUIREMENTS
A strong, expressive musical-theater vocalist capable of carrying a serious solo, romantic material and ensemble harmonies. The performer must interpret lyrics clearly and sing with both power and restraint.
MOVEMENT REQUIREMENTS
Must move gracefully and learn moderate choreography. Strong dance training is welcome but not essential.
IMPORTANT
The actor must be comfortable performing in TBD costume pieces.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN EVERY PERFORMER
Archie the Alien is a big-hearted musical comedy that depends on truthful acting, strong character choices and excellent comic timing. We’re seeking performers who can find the honesty beneath the humor & create memorable characters without turning them into cartoons.
All performers should:
• Sing confidently and communicate a song’s story
• Have strong comic instincts and ensemble awareness
• Take direction well and arrive prepared
• Bring energy, generosity and professionalism to rehearsals
• Be comfortable with basic movement or choreography
• Support the show’s themes of kindness, acceptance and belonging
Some supporting roles may be doubled, depending on the size of the production and the director’s needs.
