A Walk On The Moon, set in a Borscht Belt bungalow colony the summer of 1969, tells the story of Pearl Kantrowitz (early 30s), a Brooklyn housewife and mother who starts to question her life in the face of her teenage daughter’s judgments of her, the upcoming historic moon landing, and the rapidly changing times. An affair with a “hippie” blouse salesman helps Pearl evolve, leads her to the Woodstock Music Festival, and threatens to destroy her family. The musical is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed 1999 film of the same name.
Male-presenting; 6 years old; Character is Jewish. A delightful little boy who thinks the Catskills bungalow colony is paradise. Loves frogs, salamanders, and his cowboy guns. He laughs at dirty words and all the silly things that 6-year-old boys laugh at. His dad is his hero. He likes to fight with his big sister ALISON, but secretly wishes she’d pay more attention to him. Must be able to sing pop/rock style well enough to carry a tune.
Female-presenting; 20s/30s; Character is Jewish. Rhoda is one of Pearl’s group of friends at the bungalow colony where they spend summers in the Catskills. These working-class women are mothers, wives, daughters: they play mah-jongg, flirt with the staff, are smart and strong, funny and fiercely protective. Their 1960s is not the hippie, Woodstock, moon landing, civil rights world—they are pretty sheltered from all that until they’re not. Pop vocals (style sensibility from the 50s–70s, as well as contemporary musical theater). Mezzo with a high belt.
20s/30s; Must have comedic ability. Actors will cover the Jewish husbands (3 roles) at the bungalow colony, friends of MARTY — working-class men who are good providers, good husbands and fathers, and embrace life with a sense of humor. They bust their balls all week and live for those weekends “in the country” where they get to relax, have sex with their wives, play pinochle and softball with the guys, and have quality time with their families. Pop vocals (style sensibility from the 50s–70s, as well as contemporary musical theater). Tenor with a high belt up to a B.
20s/30s; Must have comedic ability. Actors will cover the Jewish wives (3 roles), friends of PEARL, at the bungalow colony where they spend summers in the Catskills. These working-class women are mothers, wives, daughters. They play mah-jongg, flirt with the staff, are smart and strong, funny and fiercely protective. Their 1960s is not the hippie/woodstock/civil rights world—they are pretty sheltered from all that until they’re not. Pop vocals (style sensibility from the 50s–70s, as well as contemporary musical theater). Mezzo or soprano with a high belt.
Male-presenting; 20s/30s. The sexiest man alive. Heroic, tall, and beautiful. WALKER is a free spirit, a Sixties hippie but not a cliché — a good-hearted man of substance. A dreamer who’s never left the small Catskills town he grew up in; when a travelling Jewish salesman retires, Walker takes over as “The Blouse Man” and spends the summer selling blouses to women at the local bungalow colonies. Perceptive and insightful, he senses right away that PEARL is different and that she too is a dreamer yearning to break free. When Walker falls in love with PEARL, he carefully straddles the line between their hot affair and his respect for her marriage. Extremely strong singer fluent in folk/pop/rock styles. Vocal range: Bb2–A4. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
Female-presenting; 20s/30s. A beautiful, intelligent, nice Jewish girl from Flatbush who got pregnant at 16 on her first date and became a wife and mother overnight. When her daughter ALISON transforms into a fiery teenager bringing the voice of 1969 into the family, PEARL feels trapped in the 1950s and yearns for the adolescence she never experienced. Stuck in a rut with her husband and feeling lonely and misunderstood, when PEARL meets WALKER the chemistry between them awakens in her all that’s been untried and unexpressed, and their passionate affair ensues. Though she knows she’s doing the wrong thing, she’s intoxicated by WALKER and her chance to come of age in the summer of Woodstock. Extremely strong singer fluent in folk/pop/rock styles. Vocal range: G3–E5. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
Male-presenting; 20s/30s. Handsome, warm, smart and funny; Jewish man who is the son of Jewish immigrants, living the American Dream in Flatbush with his wife Pearl and their two kids, Alison and Danny. Once had bigger dreams; now focused on being a good provider, husband and father. Works at a TV repair shop and lives for summer weekends at the bungalow colony. Not a political animal — the 1960s for him is not about Woodstock or Vietnam, though he’s excited about the impending moon landing. Must be able to sing pop/rock style. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
Female-presenting; 18 or older to play 15. A 15-year-old nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn who wants to be living the life of a 17-year-old hippie: marching in anti-war rallies, going to concerts, and being free of her parents. Bright, attractive, on the precipice of independence — furious that her parents are blocking her access to 1969. Her record player is her lifeline; being trapped at a bungalow colony is her idea of hell. Extremely strong singer fluent in folk/pop/rock styles with strong upper range; A3–Eb5. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
Female-presenting; 50s. Marty’s mother. Lives in Brooklyn with Marty, Pearl and the kids. Humorous and wise with a great heart — not a typical Jewish grandmother. Uses a little Yiddish but is first-generation American. Treasures her two grandchildren and is especially close to Alison. Reads tea leaves and tarot cards and has a sixth sense that makes her always right — “a curse,” as she calls it. Acerbic and overbearing at times, she gives advice indirectly. Like Pearl, she married and had a child young; abandoned by her husband, she became a fiercely protective single mother. Must be able to sing in a 1960s folk/pop style. Alto. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
Male-presenting; 18 or older to play 16. A nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn who’d like to play guitar like Clapton or Hendrix or sing like Roger Daltrey. Must be able to play guitar. A hip, awkward kid who has a mad crush on ALISON but is a bit scared of her. Less complicated and not angry; has a simpler, more idealistic understanding of politics and actually thinks bungalow colony life is kind of cool. A sensitive poet at heart, inspired by ALISON to take more risks. Ross might be the only 16-year-old in the summer of Woodstock who would turn down the chance to “go all the way,” but he’s mature enough to know he and Alison aren’t ready. Strong tenor, must play guitar. Vocal range: B2–Bb4. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
Male-presenting; 20s/30s. Must have comedic ability. Friend of Marty — a working-class guy who is a good provider, husband and father, and embraces life with a sense of humor. Neil and the other husbands bust their balls all week and live for these weekends “in the country” where they relax, have sex with their wives, play pinochle and softball, and have family time. Must be able to sing pop/rock style. THIS ROLE IS CAST.
