Character Descriptions:
Aaron:
Jewish investment banker. He has never been on a blind date before. Out of his element, nervous, and trying way too hard. Tenor.
Casey:
Daring, bold and delightfully controversial. All as a defense mechanism. Great Belt / Mix voice.
Woman #1:
(Grandma Ida/Lauren/Facebook/Female with Megaphone #2/Aaron’s Mother)
Lauren is happily (somewhat) married to her highly successful husband Kevin, and wonders out loud why Casey can’t break her bad habits and learn to catch a winner. Constantly trying to fix Casey, Lauren is more concerned with listening to her own advice than actually helping her sister. Grandma Ida is Aaron’s dead grandmother who feels strongly that her son should marry a Jewish woman. Belt/mix with soprano.
Woman #2:
(Jewish Chorus/Allison/Google Girl/Female with Megaphone #1)
Allison is Aaron’s ex-fiancé. Gorgeous, sexy, uptight, conservative, controlling, manipulative.
Man #1:
(Jewish Chorus/Gabe/YouTube/Edgy British Guy)
Gabe is the mega dude/womanizer. Has every answer to every question about women that has ever been asked. And probably has a catch phrase to go with that answer. Aaron’s best friend since childhood.
British Guy is a bad boy from Casey’s past. Cocky, neglectful and overcompensating. Bari-tenor range.
Man #2:
(Reggie/Aaron’s Future Son/Instagram/Edgy Rocker Guy)
Reggie is Casey’s fabulous fierce gay and over-imaginative best friend. Easily sent into a tailspin of jealousy, paranoia, and drama. Edgy Rocker is a bad boy from Casey’s past. Cocky, neglectful and over compensating. Tenor range.
Man #3:
(Waiter/Casey’s Christian Father/Twitter/Friendly Therapist)
A career waiter, who dabbles with songwriting and performing on the side. A romantic. He wants nothing more than for love to blossom at his restaurant. A closet poet as well. Casey’s Christian Father is a stereotype super-Christian, praising the Easter Bunny and denouncing Judaism. Bari-tenor range.
