Audition Information for 2nd Stage presents "Morbin' Time: The Morbius Parody Musical"

Directed by Zachery Wood

In 2022, Sony released “MORBIUS” The Living Vampire. The movie was terrible. So terrible, the internet gaslit them into rereleasing it. And nobody saw it. Including the people who wrote this musical. “MORBIN TIME: THE MUSICAL” is a parody musical, written solely off of memes and the wikipedia article.

Brilliant Sexy Biochemist Dr. Michael Morbius "morbs" all over as he tries to cure himself of his rare-unnamed-blood-disorder by splicing vampire bat DNA. The experiment works but turns him into a powerful living vampire with superhuman abilities, an insatiable need for human blood, and a six pack that could cut steel. But will this be enough to defeat the corrupt American Healthcare system, his best-friend-turned-vampire, and the 2020's super hero fatigue?

Performances: January 29 - 31, 2027

CHARACTERS

DR. MICHAEL MORBIUS: A brilliant Biochemist with a rare blood disorder who splices his genes with bat DNA, turning him into a blood thirsty vampire! He follows a strict oath to do no harm, but is put into moral conflict when the American Healthcare system tries to profitize his life saving artificial blood. Oh, and because he becomes a vampire that needs to drink human blood, that too. The hero of the story, when the morbin gets rough this morb gets morbin! A "Jared Leto" type character actor.

MORPHEUS: The character from The Matrix movie franchise, due to similarities in his name is legally bound to narrate the tale of Morbius. A calming voice bound to fits of frustration about the plot of the show, he really learns to Morb by the end of the show, as Morbius Morbs into his heart. Must be played by a BIPOC actor.

MILO: Morbius' life long best friend and the villain of the show, Milo is a billionaire with the same rare blood disorder as Morbius. Where Morbius sees his vampirism as a curse, Milo sees it as a gift and turns himself into a vampire! Very "Matt Smith in Doctor Who" vibes. This is an actor who needs to be willing to dance very silly and weird. 

MARTINE BANCROFT: A brilliant biochemist with multiple doctorates, but Sony doesn't know how to write women so she becomes Morbius' assistant. So the musical goes for the jugular at Sony for that. She is a morale compass for the show, and has a natural whimsy and imagination to her.
