Mystery. Crime. Justice. Seasonings.
Must Ketch is a thrilling crime-adventure story following the timeless duo of Ketchup, an ex-cop turned Private Eye, and Mustard, a brand new investigator with an upbeat attitude. Together, they’ll have to tackle the biggest crime syndicate in Condiment City; The Cabinet. Filled with edge-of-your-seat action, mind-blowing plot twists, and groan-worthy puns, this brand new musical by Joshua Kurtz and Damien Figueras is guaranteed to be fun for the whole family.

16-32 bars of a contemporary musical theatre song – think impressive, but upbeat and fun. Bring a CD or iPod with back track.
Rehearsals will take place on average, 3 times a week, 2 times for most of the cast (3 for leads, and everyone as we get closer to the show).
Be prepared to have some fun, be flexible, and try new things!
Characters to Audition For – All ages wanted, from child to adult!
Ketchup: Baritone/Tenor, silly by virtue of how serious he is. Determined. Just. Troubled by a dark and mysterious past that will inevitably be revealed at a pivotal moment in the plot.
Mustard: Mezzo/Soprano, younger girl, silly by virtue of how silly she is. Bright. Passionate. Eager to learn, which is good, because she has a LOT to learn.
Cayenne: High Mezzo Belt, sinister leader of The Cabinet. Crazy. Power-happy. Maybe a little bit egotistical.
Mayor Mayonnaise: Male, flexible vocal range. The mayor of Condiment City. Follows the law to the letter- and makes the law the way he wants it.
Cinnamon: Male, flexible vocal range. A peacekeeper for Spice Town. Ready to lay down his life for the good of all- but also a fickle adventure-seeker.
Salt and Pepper: Flexible. A pair of minions to Cayenne. Bumbling and clumsy, but a force to be reckoned with.
Sugar: Female, flexible vocal range. A visitor from Candyland, come to cause trouble. Sweet (whoops), seductive, and sultry.
And a handful of other characters- many of which will have one person playing multiples of them. This includes…
Rosemary
Marie Rose
Thyme
Sage
Dill
Dijon
Assorted Salad Dressings
And many more! There’s plenty of room for a fun company in this cast.
Thanks so much- we hope to see you, and all of your friends, there!
