Breakdown

The roles of Roxie Hart, Velma Kelly, and Billy Flynn have been cast.

Matron 'Mama' Morton
(Alto with Belt)
Female, plays 30's-50's. Matronly with an edge. Runs the Cook County Jail with slippery loyalties to female inmates. A fan of the girls' fame. Character actress with comic ability and tough power. Great belt a must.

Amos Hart
(Baritone)
Male, plays 30's-50's. Roxie's gullible husband. Vulnerable, social misfit, blind to Roxie's true colors by his needy love for her. Must have an affable likability and sincerity.

Mary Sunshine
(Counter Tenor - Falsetto [Sopr. Range] High Bb)
Male to play female. A talk-show hostess, gossip monger who feigns a good-natured exterior to grab the scoop for her gossip column.

Ensemble Singers and Dancers:
The roles of Fred Casely, Sergeant Fogarty, Go-To-Hell-Kitty and the "Cell Block Tango" ladies will be cast from the ensemble of strong dancer-singers.
