The People vs. Broadway Cast & Crew Page
WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST!
In February of 2026, we will be launch what will hopefully become a new series. “The People vs…” It is a courtroom parody where the testimony and other action is delivered in song. The audience will vote on the guilt or innocence of the defendant just like in our murder shows and we’ll change the ending based on what they decide.
The first outing is “The People vs. Broadway!” In it, a Broadway star has been murdered and the players in an entirely different kind of drama have assembled in the courtroom. A defendent accused of a heinous crime. A prosecutor determined to put them behind bars. A defense attorney trying to prevent a miscarriage of justice. A judge overseeing the trial of the century. A bailiff trying to keep order in the court. A parade of witnesses telling their stories.
Four shows are currently planned for Thursday-Sunday, February 19-22. Rehearsals will begin the first week of February. Full Schedule is below.
If successful, we could do more of these shows with different musical genres, eras, or even singers such as “The People vs. Country” or “The People vs. The 80s” or “The People vs. Britney Spears.”
SAVANNAH CABARET GUIDING PRINCIPLES
- We will always strive to create a positive, friendly, supportive, and fun environment.
- We are not getting rich, going to Broadway, or winning any awards for these shows so if we can’t have fun, why are we doing it?
- We adhere to a strict “no assholes” policy.
- The only drama we want is the one we’re putting on the stage.
- We will always be on time for rehearsal, meetings, and shows.
- Being late is not only detrimental to the production, it’s inconsiderate of your fellow cast members and crew who did what they needed to do to be on time.
- We will always come prepared.
- The small amount of time we have to rehearse together must be supplemented by your own work on your own time working on your lines, lyrics, songs, and characters.
- We will pitch in to help wherever it is needed.
- Everyone does everything including promoting the show since the more butts in seats, the more most cast and crew gets paid.
CHARACTERS & CAST
Songs and characters are still in flux and may change.
All roles are open to all ages (actors must be 21 or older), ethnicities, and gender/gender identity, however the characters must present as male/female as indicated.

ROLES, REQUIREMENTS, SALARY

SHOW BONUS STRUCTURE
All cast members are eligible for being included in the show bonus pool.
IF the show makes a profit, 50% of profits from tickets sales less producer costs will be divided equally amongst the cast and crew participants in the pool (estimated to be 15 people for this show).
For illustrative purposes only:
- Gross Profits: $10,000
- Expenses: $5,000
- Producer Costs: $1,000
- Net Profits: $4,000
- 50% of Net: $2,000
- 50% of Net Divided by 12 participants: $166 each
Total compensation is therefore dependent on ticket sales, but paid cast and crew members will receive their base pay even if the show loses money.
SCHEDULE (subject to change)
Note: some things like costume fittings and set build will be added based on availability of needed cast and crew
