BREAKDOWN
[JERRY MULLIGAN]
Male, 20s. Must be an EXCELLENT ballet dancer who also has strong jazz ability. Attractive, masculine, and charismatic, Jerry is an American GI who chooses to stay in Paris to study painting and further his artistic aspirations. He is charming, spontaneous, and playful yet still a bit callow. Singing and acting experience a plus, but elite ballet dancers may attend regardless of prior singing/acting experience. PRINCIPAL
[LISE DASSIN]
Female, late teens to 20s. Must be an EXCELLENT ballet dancer. Beautiful, ethereal, elegant and expressive, Lise is quite guarded after the time she spent in hiding during the Nazi occupation of France. She is very passionate, yet private with a profound inner dignity. Singing and acting ability a plus, but elite ballet dancers may attend regardless of prior singing/acting experience. PRINCIPAL

[HENRI BAUREL]
Male, late 20s. Excellent actor and singer (tenor or baritenor). Should have some dance ability, specifically some tap. Henri is the handsome son of wealthy Parisians. Light hearted, raised to assume his father’s position of power, Henri secretly longs to be a song and dance man. Deeply in love with Lise. PRINCIPAL
[MILO DAVENPORT]
Female, 30. Excellent actor and singer (soprano/mix). Should have some dance ability. Milo is an American heiress and art partron who is attractive and bold; a free spirit who knows what she wants. PRINCIPAL
