[ENSEMBLE/DILL US/RANDY] Boy; 9 to 12 years old; all ethnicities. Must be 4'6" or shorter — we would especially love a very small actor. Any ethnicity. Voice must be unchanged. Looking for a funny, quirky, interesting, offbeat kid with a strong personality and great comic instincts. Dill is Scut Farkus’s sidekick — a little bully with some toughness and swagger, but still very much a kid: small, scrappy, mischievous, oddball and funny. We are especially interested in kids who feel distinctive and unexpected rather than polished or “showbizzy.” This actor will also understudy Randy, Ralphie’s much younger brother, who plays approximately 6–7 years old. Randy is an awkward, eccentric little boy who is adorable and genuinely funny. The actor should be able to handle Randy’s physical comedy and specific stage business while keeping it natural and spontaneous. Must be an excellent singer with a high, unchanged voice and a strong tap dancer. Acting, comedy and personality are especially important. Looking for a versatile young performer who can make these two very different characters completely their own.
