Breakdown

DANI
( Strong belt to D, head voice to F) young girl, playing age 9 years old. Extraordinarily precocious. Quirky and imaginative, but with a dark undertone. A gigantic bundle of energy. Incredibly vibrant, defiant spirit. Resilient and unbelievably determined. Must believe she is battling cancer.

MARTY
( Strong belt to C#) young boy, play age 10 years old. Nerdy, shy, and vulnerable, but able to mask that with an obviously false sense of childish bravado. Loves movies. Must believe he is battling cancer.

The following characters are doubled (TBD)

RAPH *
(Baritone/Tenor) Ageless; Dani's imaginary friend and guardian angel. Sarcastic but caring. Playful on cue. Appears as many other characters.

MOTHER
(Mezzo Soprano) Late 30's; Dani's mother. Stern. Hard. Does what she believes is right to save her daughter and makes no apologies for it.

CANCER *
Timeless; A chronic and terminal disease. Revels in being sinister and malicious. Appears in several forms.

GOD *
Eternal; Supreme being and all powerful creator of the universe. Simple, straightforward, and comforting.

FATHER*
Dani's father. Appears only in dream sequences.
