Syd Norman’s Pour House Seeks Rock Vocalists and Guitarists

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, along with its partner cruise lines Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises, is holding live auditions in New York City for Syd Norman’s Pour House.

This high-energy musical concept comes from the original creative team behind the Broadway musical Rock of Ages. The show brings audiences back to the glory days of rock music from the late 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a Sunset Strip-inspired setting, a live house band, audience interaction, comedy, and plenty of rock ‘n’ roll attitude.

About Syd Norman’s Pour House

The production is looking for performers who can bring both vocal power and personality to the stage. Strong rock vocals, comedic timing, and the ability to interact naturally with an audience are key.

Roles Being Cast

Rock Vocalists

The casting team is seeking hip, authentic rock performers with the ability to deliver both smooth and gritty vocals.

Ideal vocal types include:

🎵 Tenor vocal range with a rock belt up to C5

Vocal style references include legendary rock and pop artists such as Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, and Heart.

Performers should also have strong improv acting skills, comedic timing, and the ability to work from a loose script while interacting with the audience.

Knowledge of old-school hip-hop or rap is a strong plus, as performers may need to incorporate rap lyrics into mashups or medleys. Basic percussion skills, such as tambourine or maracas, are also a plus but not required.

Rock Vocalist / Guitarist

NCLH is also seeking rock singer-guitarists with an authentic look and sound.

Applicants for this role should have strong rock vocals, strong harmony skills, and the ability to perform confidently with both cast and band.

Guitar requirements include:

🎸 Proficiency on acoustic guitar
