DIRECTOR
Male, 30's/40's, strong, handsome, powerful, charismatic. As the leader of the World State, he's the most powerful man around, and he loves every minute of it. Strong, powerful singer – baritone.

LENINA

LINDA
Female, 40's/50's, looks older by contrast. Born in the World State then lost on a savage reservation, she is unable to reconcile the two worlds, and has lost her mind. Strong singer, alto/B’way belt.
ENSEMBLE
In the World State, babies are engineered and grown in test tubes. As such, they are all perfect specimens; tall, beautiful, sexy, strong. They are given anti-aging hormones, so they all appear to be in their 20's and 30's, even when they are decades older.
Ensemble roles include various characters in the World State, as well as savages and lower caste members. All are strong pop singers, covering all ranges and must be very strong dancers.
