Breakdown
A real-time look at one blind/first date, Aaron and Casey are our 'daters.' The other patrons and waiter in the restaurant turn into baggage from Aaron and Casey’s past and future, trying to impact the outcome of the date.
Seeking:
Aaron
Late 20s-30s Male. Tenor. Jewish investment banker. He has never been on a blind date before. Out of his element, nervous, and trying way too hard.
Casey
Late 20s-30s, female. Great belt/mix voice. Daring, bold, and delightfully controversial. All as a defense mechanism.
Woman #1
(Grandma Ida/Lauren/ Allison/ Google Girl/Female with Megaphone #2/Aaron’s Mother)—25-40, Female, belt/mix with soprano. Casey's sister, LAUREN is happily (somewhat) married to her highly successful husband, Kevin, and wonders out loud why Casey can't break her bad habits and learn how to catch a winner. Constantly trying to fix Casey, Lauren is more concerned with listening to her own advice than actually helping her sister. GRANDMA IDA is Aaron's dead grandmother, who feels strongly that her son should marry a Jewish woman. ALLISON is Aaron's ex-fiancé. Gorgeous, sexy, uptight, conservative, controlling, manipulative.
Man#1
(Reggie/Gabe/Aaron’s Future Son/ Rocker Guy)—25-40; Male, any ethnicity. REGGIE is Casey's fabulously fierce gay and over-imaginative best friend. Easily sent into a tailspin of jealousy, paranoia, and drama. GABE is the mega dude/womanizer. Has every answer to every question about women that has ever been asked. And probably has a catch phrase to go with that answer. Aaron's best friend since childhood. EDGY ROCKER is a bad boy from Casey's past. Cocky, neglectful, and overcompensating. Baritenor range.
Man #2
(Waiter/Casey’s Christian Father/British Guy/ Friendly Therapist)—35-45, male, baritenor. A career waiter, who dabbles with songwriting and performing on the side. A romantic. He wants nothing more than for love to blossom in his restaurant. A closet poet as well. CASEY's CHRISTIAN FATHER is a stereotype super-Christian, praising the Easter Bunny and denouncing Judaism. BRITISH GUY is a bad boy from Casey's past. Cocky, neglectful, and overcompensating.
