SEEKING:

• [Otis] Founder and last surviving original member of The Temptations. Never the flashiest performer, but always the rock of the group. A stand-up guy, tough, with a big heart and deep conscience. This character is Black. Gender: Male Vocal range top: D5
• [Eddie] Friends with Paul since elementary school, Eddie created most of the group’s vocal arrangements and served as wardrobe manager. Outspoken. Loved cornbread so much, they nicknamed him “Corn.” This character is Black. Gender: Male Vocal range top: G5
• [Paul] No relation to Otis, Paul was one of the Founding Members of The Temptations and the group’s resident choreographer. Well-liked and kind, but unable to cope with his own demons. This character is Black. Gender: Male Vocal range top: C5
• [Melvin] Loved his mama. The bass of the group and one of the first members Otis recruited. Nicknamed “Blue” because of his fondness for the color, Melvin was incredibly loyal to the group and, particularly, Otis. This character is Black. Gender: Male Vocal range top: A4
• [David] Lead singer of The Temptations. After Al, helped take the group to the top of the charts. As electric on stage as “Lightning In A Bottle.” Maybe the most charismatic front man in pop music history. This character is Black. Gender: Male Vocal range top: D5
• [Berry Gordy] The Chairman! The founder of Motown and a man who needs no introduction. Strong Mover. This character is Black. Gender: Male
• [Shelly Berger] Not your typical Motown manager. Character man; His quick wit and level head help The Temptations achieve their success. This character is Caucasian. Gender: Male
• [Josephine] Otis’ teenage wife who grows up fast. She takes care of their son while he’s on the road. This character is Black. Gender: Female Vocal range top: E5
• [Dennis Edwards] Lead singer of The Temptations after David Ruffin. A vocal powerhouse with the ego to match. This character is Black. Gender: Male Vocal range top: F5
