Breakdown

CURRENTLY SEEKING:

RIFF
Male, 18 & up to play late teens – 20’s, Leader of the Jets. Tony's best friend. Charismatic, confident, and likeable – but underneath it all there is a strong streak of dominance. He is never afraid of a fight, and seeks to establish the Jets as the kings of the neighborhood. Strong bari-tenor and strong dancer. All ethnicities/races considered. RANGE: Bb2 – G4

BERNARDO
Male, Early 20’s - early 30’s, Leader of the Sharks. Maria's brother and Anita's boyfriend. Proud, strong, and handsome with a short fuse. Puerto Rican, masculine; under enormous pressure to defend his rights and place as a new American. Must be a strong dancer and actor. RANGE: Bb2 – Eb4
