Breakdown

SEEKING:
FRED GRAHAM/PETRUCHIO - The leading man, 30s - 40s. Writer, producer, director, actor and superman. Worked his way up from the chorus and his ego is as large as his resume is long. Must have a physically imposing presence, excellent facility with Shakespeare’s text, and be extremely handsome, charismatic, and funny. Classic Baritone. Vocal range: Bb - G
LILLI VANESSI/KATHARINE - The leading lady, 30s – early 40s. Returning to the stage after a not-so-successful Hollywood turn. A regal diva with a fierce temper and rapier-like wit, but a vulnerability underneath it all. Must have the beauty, poise, and elegance of a 1940s Hollywood movie star. Glorious soprano who also has a rich mezzo/belt. Vocal Range: A – B
BILL CALHOUN/LUCENTIO - Broadway song and dance man, 20s - 30s. His compulsive gambling is always getting him into trouble with Lois Lane, who he loves but can’t trust around other men. Must be a first-rate entertainer with irresistible charm. Excellent actor, singer, and tap dancer. Bari-tenor. Vocal range: G - F
LOIS LANE/BIANCA - A nightclub hoofer with Broadway dreams, 20s. Sexy, charismatic, and dumb like a fox, she makes up for her lack of book smarts with an enthusiastic employment of feminine wiles. Excellent actor, singer, and tap dancer with a knockout Broadway belt/mix. Vocal Range: G - F
HATTIE – African-American, late 30s – 40s. Lilli’s dresser. A true theatre professional, she has seen it all. Part dresser, part psychologist, she remains unflappable amidst the drama of backstage life. Has an ongoing flirtation with Paul. Vocal range: A - F
PAUL – African-American, late 30s – 40s. Fred’s dresser. Cool under pressure. Has an ongoing flirtation with Hattie. Featured vocalist with Jazz style. Vocal Range: C - F#
FIRST MAN and SECOND MAN - Character men, 30s - 50s. Two tough gangsters who look completely out of place in this world of bright lights and poetic beauty, but after six years in the prison library, they have developed a unique way with words and a great appreciation for Shakespeare and the theatre. Must have a great sense of classic vaudevillian comedy. Good movers. Vocal range: B - D
GENERAL HARRISON HOWELL - 40s - 50s. A highly distinguished General of the US Army with strong political ties to the White House. A man of rigid discipline determined to uphold military order and patriarchal family values, he clearly does not fit in with the bohemian nature of Broadway or even Baltimore. Must have strong comedic skills. Baritone. Vocal range: B - F
