SEEKING:
SAM WHEAT
30ISH. TENOR. Sam is the hero of our story, a office-worker in New York City, living with his longterm girlfriend, Molly. One day Sam is murdered by Willie Lopez, and as a Ghost he seeks the help of a reluctant medium, Oda Mae, to protect Molly when Willie plans to strike again. This character needs to be a strong naturalistic actor and able to interact well with Molly, especially in the romantic scenes. Needs to be confident in solo lines as the Ghost and have a New York accent. Also needs to be able to move well e.g. in physical theatre transitions and in character movements/illusions. Vocal Range: G# to Bb
MOLLY JENSEN
30ISH. Role labeled as a MEZZO. But should have strong Belt/mix, as well as a strong head voice. Molly is a artist living in New York City with her boyfriend, Sam Wheat, until he's murdered and his ghost comes back to save her. Definitely a strong actor. Able to interact well with Sam and be convincing when playing the grief stricken girlfriend. Be confident in transition from ‘in-love to ‘broken-hearted’ . New York accent. Vocal Range: G to Eb
ODA MAE BROWN
AT LEAST LATE 20’S. MEZZO. Oda Mae Brown works as a spiritual advisor out of a storefront séance parlour in Brooklyn. Though she was told as a child that she had the gift by her mother and grandmother (who were both able to communicate with the dead), Oda Mae did not actually experience communication with the spirits until she met Sam Wheat during a séance for an unrelated client . Probably not Caucasian. Larger than life character and able to play for laughs but still have some sincerity and truthful moments. Some dancing required, particularly in solos, however this can be portrayed as comedic. Vocal Range : G to E
CARL BRUNER
30ISH. BARITONE. Carl Bruner is the main protagonist of the show and good friend and colleague of Sam’s. When Sam discovers there are discrepancies in some bank accounts, which actually is a money laundering operation run by Carl, he orders his partner, Willie Lopez to attempt to steal Sam's security codes which result in Willie killing Sam. Really strong actor and singer who is able to play ‘slimy’ business man. Needs to be able to transition from aggressive to ‘slimy’ when seducing Molly. Some physical theatre work needed for transitions. New York accent. Vocal Range : F to G
WILLIE LOPEZ
COULD BE 20-40’S. When Willie is introduced, he attempts to rob Sam’s wallet. This results in a fight, and Sam is killed. EXTREMELY MASCULINE. Imtimidating in some way. Would only need to be a singer for other roles he may double.
SUBWAY GHOST
The Subway Ghost helps and teaches Sam to use his ghostly powers. He also thinks that the trains are his. Aggressive ‘spooky’ but within the realms of truthfulness Good physical actor required as well as physical character work experience. Would only need to be a singer for other roles he may double.
LOUISE AND CLARA BROWN
20’S-40’S. AMAZING VOCALISTS. Oda Mae’s helpers at her séance parlour. Nice comedy parts, Great singers required. Vocal Range : D to D. Will also play other roles.
HOSPITAL GHOST
30’S-50’S. BARITENOR TO AN A. The Hospital Ghost is one of the main ghosts Sam encounters, nice part with some fantastic songs. Is usually played older but not 100% necessary. Great actor & singer required naturalistic with attitude to him while hiding his sadness. Vocal Range : C to A
Will also double in other roles.
