BREAKDOWN
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
[KING ARTHUR] – Character is male (cis or transgender), 20s, ANY ETHNICITY. Arthur is intelligent, compassionate, appealing and incredibly unsure of himself. He is still struggling to grow up from the scrappy, vulnerable underdog who pulled the sword from the stone and into a leader worthy of his royal title and his power. Great with language and comedy, with a sense of musicality for the songs, but singing voice is much less important than a captivating and charismatic ability for telling story / exploring character through musical moments.
[GUENEVERE] – Character is female (cis or transgender), 20s, ANY ETHNICITY. A passionate and frequently underestimated young princess. Frustrated with expectations, she looks to carve her own path with her sharp intellect and wit. Great with language and comedy. This is not a GUENEVERE we’ve seen before. A beautiful and expressive singing voice.
[LANCELOT] – Character is male (cis or transgender), 20s, ANY ETHNICITY. A power-house knight from France. Attractive and cocky but loyal, he has a profound sense of duty. His love for Guenevere eventually becomes his downfall. Has a soaring voice. OFFER OUT ON THIS ROLE.
[MERLYN / PELLINORE] – Character is any gender, 50s-70s, ANY ETHNICITY. Arthur’s teacher and esteemed advisor. Has a sense of humor, even in the face of great danger. Wise and powerful, but has no sense of personal grandeur or formality. PELLINORE, A knight on a fool’s mission, just like their father. Not quite in touch with reality, but good hearted.
