Diana: (40-45, vocal range G3 to F#5) Delusional, bipolar, and depressed. The sexiness of her yesterdays has only recently begun to soften. She is determined to make her family perfect but is tortured by a death in the family.
Gabe: (18-21, vocal range top C5) Diana & Dan's son. Dashing, athletic, and bright. He is a playful man and everything a mother could imagine.
Dan: (40-45, vocal range Ab2 to B4) Diana's Husband. He is handsome and genuine. Though a constant in Diana's tumultuous life, he has grown tired and weary of her antics.
Natalie: (16, vocal range G3 to G5) Diana & Dan's troubled daughter. An accomplished pianist and hardworking student, her struggles are exacerbated by her mother's behavior. She greatly admires Henry.
Henry: (17, vocal range G#2 to B4) Natalie's classmate. The all-around musician, philosopher, and slacker. He has an intoxicating capacity for sympathy and romance.
Doctor Madden: (30-40, vocal range A2 to A4) Diana's handsome psychiatrist. Quite assured in his practice and considered somewhat of a rock star.

Sandy: (Soprano, vocal range A3-F#5) Danny's love interest. Sweet, wholesome, naïve, cute.
Rizzo: (Alto, vocal range A3-C5) Leader of the Pink Ladies. She is tough, sarcastic and outspoken but vulnerable. Thin, Italian, with unconventional good looks.
Frenchy: (Alto, vocal range A3-D5) A dreamer. Good-natured and dumb. Heavily made-up, fussy about her appearance-particularly her hair.
Marty: (Alto, vocal range C4-C5)The beauty of the Pink Ladies. Pretty, looks older than the other girls, but betrays her real age when she opens her mouth. Tries to act sophisticated.
Jan: (Alto, vocal range A3-C5) Chubby, compulsive eater. Loud and pushy with the girls, but shy with boys.
Kenickie: (Tenor, vocal range C4-F5) Second-in-command of the Burger Palace Boys. Tough-looking, tattooed, surly, avoids any show of softness. Has an off-beat sense of humor.
Doody: (Tenor, vocal range D4-A5) Youngest of the guys. Small, boyish, open, with a disarming smile and a hero-worshipping attitude toward the other guys. He also plays the guitar.
Roger: (Tenor, vocal range D4-A5) The anything-for-a-laugh stocky type. Full of mischief, half-baked schemes and ideas. A clown who enjoys putting other people on.
Sonny: (Baritone, vocal range G3-A5) Italian-looking, with shiny black hair and dark oily skin. A braggart and wheeler-dealer who thinks he's a real lady-killer.

THE PRODUCERS
Rehearsals start May 20, 2019, show runs June 1-9, 2019
Max Bialystock: (40-50, vocal range A2 to F#4) The consummate con man. Naturally animated and bombastic, he is never at a loss for charm and manners. Typically conspires with Leo.
Leo Bloom: (35-40, vocal range A2 to F4) An accountant. Boring and mousy, he is a hesitant optimist who longs for something more. Dragged into a scheme by Max.
Franz Liebkind: (35-55, vocal range F2 to G4) German loyalist playwright. From his lederhosen to his pigeon, Adolph, his love for the motherland is unmistakable. He is imposing yet tender.
Rogers Debris: (50-60, vocal range G#2 to G4) New York's most famous and flamboyant stage director. Surrounds himself with deliciously beautiful clothing, people, and possessions. In a crowd, it would be impossible to miss him.
Carmen Ghia: (25-35, vocal range C3 to A4) Roger Debris' faithful assistant. Carmen is severe in looks and passion for Roger. He may appear younger than he actually is thanks to skilled surgeons.
Ulla Inga Hansen Benson Yonsen Tallen-hallen Svaden-svanson: (20-30, vocal range A3 to G5) A young and hopeful actress. Though her beauty might eclipse her talent, Ulla is passionate about life and art. Quite a clueless seductress in some ways.
