Breakdown
Sonny Malone - Handsome and “very 1980’s.” He is a struggling artist who, when we first meet him, is working on a mural of the Nine Muses. But what he really wants is to open “an apex of all the arts” - a roller disco. He falls in love with Clio, disguised as Kira, as she attempts to help inspire him in his art. The actor playing Sonny Malone must be able to move well in roller skates.
Danny Maguire - A very professional, very successful businessman who used to be a clarinet player but gave up on his dreams to become a real estate mogul. He was once in love with a Southern belle named “Kitty” (actually Clio in disguise) who left him because he refused to open the “Xanadu,” a theater he built especially for her.
Melpomene (pronounced melp-OH-muh-nay) - Muse of Tragedy. As the eldest of the Muses, she resents that Zeus made Clio - and not her - leader of the Muses. She plots revenge against Clio in the form of a curse to make her fall in love with the mortal Sonny Malone, and as a result be condemned to eternal damnation in the netherworld.
Calliope (pronounced cal-ee-OH-pay) - Muse of Epics. Quirky sidekick to Melpomene.
Erato (pronounced AIR-ah-toh) - Muse of Lyrics
Euterpe (pronounced you-TER-pay) - Muse of Music
Thalia (pronounced TAHL-ee-ah) - Muse of Comedy
Terpsichore (pronounced terp-SIH-ker-ee) - Muse of Dance
