BREAKDOWN
Man #1
Age 40-60. Should have a dark Italian look (the Rat Pack years). Man #1 must have a deep/rich strong velvety baritone voice in the Sinatra mode. He sings many of the Sinatra standards, so he needs to have an incredible vocal instrument and have a feel for Sinatra's unusual phrasing and distinctive vocal style. He should dance or at the very least move extremely well. Tap dance skills are a big plus as there are a number of optional tap/dance breaks written for this character.
Man #2
Age 25-40. The skinny 1940's big band crooner look. This actor should have all American boy good looks and be a physical contrast to the actor playing Man #1. He should have a strong legit lyric baritone voice and be an excellent part singer. He sings up to a G. Man #2 should also have a natural and unaffected flair for comedy as he carries much of the show's humor and lighter moments.
Woman #1
Age 30-50. Should have dark, sensual, exotic, and striking good looks. Woman #1 has the more difficult singing role of the two women. Vocally she is a strong mezzo soprano who can also belt. Her vocal style is based on great torch singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, and Judy Garland.
Woman #2
Age 20-35. Blonde or redhead with a smile that lights up the room. She should be able to project an energetic and youthful sexuality to the audience. Vocally this character needs to have that same smooth liquid big band singer sound of the 40's that Man #2 should also possess. Woman #2 is also a mezzo but does sing some soprano parts. Her voice should be lighter and provide a contrast to the darker sound required for Woman #1. She too needs to be a capable part singer. For this role a strong dancer with tap skills would be a big plus.
