Synopsis
4 on the Floor is a high octane musical about 4 mechanics who, in 1968, dream of becoming a band like The Beach Boys or the Drifters, but all they really know is cars…so that’s exactly what they sing about. Their dreams conflict with reality and even their dream ‘calendar girls’ cannot entirely hold the real world at bay.

Additional Info
There is no actual nudity! We just want auditioners to be aware of the abbreviated costumes, including swim suits and string bikinis. If 4 on the Floor proves very popular, this production could extend nearly as long as the cast wishes and is available.
It is helpful if the actors in roles of Jack, Sal, Clifton and Freddie play rock and roll instruments. All roles sing.
