NOW CASTING: SEEKING 'BRUCE LEE' FOR BROADWAY MUSICAL - L.A. auditions March 19

"BRUCE LEE: JOURNEY TO THE WEST" Elephant Eye Theatrical and Broadway Asia will produce this new musical for the 2010-2011 Broadway season.

Music and lyrics by David Yazbek,

Book by David Henry Hwang,

Directed by Bartlett Sher

Casting by Tara Rubin Casting

follows the martial arts legend's difficult road to success, as he's guided by a powerful ally: The Monkey King, a beloved and playful warrior god from Chinese mythology. In a show fusing sources as diverse as martial arts, Chinese Opera, modern dance, and pop music from the 1950's to the present day, Bruce and Monkey struggle to master their skills and purify their spirits, on their quest to unite East and West.

Seeking:

ADULT BRUCE: Asian. 20’s-30’s, muscular, handsome, charismatic. Actor must sing well and move spectacularly, training in martial arts is a plus.

JUN FAN (YOUNG BRUCE): Asian. Actor 15-20 to play 15. Skinny, gawky, perhaps even a bit nerdy-looking, but able to project fierce intelligence, unbridled energy and boundless self-confidence. Must be able to sing well and move, though dance requirements for this role are less demanding than for Adult Bruce. (Please note if the actor is under 18.)
