Been there, done that! Depends where your cast is, arms are easier than legs.
You put your cast in a plastic bag and tape it on with waterproof sticky plaster; remember to get one of those non-slip bath mats and try to have a mate on hand in case of accidents, its easy to slip. You could make the fracture worse.
You could also try one of those shower attatchments you put on the taps. Most of the time you'll just give yourself a wash down, the day you take the plaster off and can soak is bliss.

Use plastic grocery sacks and strong rubber bands. Cut the end out of the bag to go over the fracture.Then wrap rubber bands or elastic strips around the ends of the bag to keep water out.
It is not the end of the world if it gets a little wet. It will dry out fast.
