SEEKING

[TOPHER] (Male Identifying, 20's- Early 30's, Baritone, Any Ethnicity) The prince of the kingdom who leads with heroic bravado, but is deeply naive and not always quick on the draw. In search of his purpose. His kindhearted nature spills into an endearing goofiness at times. A light comedic touch is essential. Soaring, rich musical theatre baritone to G.

[GABRIELLE] (Female Identifying, 20's-30's, Mezzo-Soprano, Any Ethnicity) Ella's stepsister and daughter of Madame. Begins aligned with her materialistic mother and sister, but her kindness and thoughtful nature emerge as she is effected by Ella and her love interest, Jean-Michel. Perhaps a bit quirky and cut from a different mold than the social climbers around her. Comic timing is essential. Strong and expressive traditional musical theatre voice.

[CHARLOTTE] (Female Identifying, late 20's-30's, Mezzo-Soprano, Any Ethnicity) Ella's stepsister and daughter of Madame. Deeply self-involved, attention-seeker. Loud, brash, and delights in being cocky. Lacks self-awareness and often the last one in on the joke. Excellent comic timing. Traditional musical theatre character belt to F.

[JEAN MICHEL] (Male Identifying, 20's-30's, Any Ethnicity) An enthusiastic revolutionary determined to make a difference. Energized and on his way to becoming a leader. Great comic timing. Traditional musical theatre voice.
