ATTN: FROG KISS / AEA Submission
A very scientific princess meets a frog she is determined to turn into a prince with the assistance of a troupe of celestial Taoist Masters. In this saucy, swingin’ new musical, will Clementine get the Prince of her dreams - or will she find herself in bed with just another horny toad?
Special skills: All performers should have capabilities for high-style language, physical agility and comic-timing--and the ability to create dimensional characters without the aid of elaborate costume design, make-up or special effects.
PRINCIPALS:
Princess Clementine
Late 20s; Beautiful, intelligent, scientific-nerdy, and extremely confident in her opinions. Knows what she wants and is determined to get it. A sparkling mezzo soprano, but should feel comfortable jazzing it up. Vocal range: B flat to G
The Frog
20s; Quirkily appealing. He’s cute, but not cloyingly so. A modest, meditative fellow, compassionate, easy-going. Desperately in love with the human Princess Clementine. Vocal range: High Baritone/Low Tenor, C to G
King Frederic
50s; A wise, beneficent ruler, a true ‘philosopher king’, who cares deeply for the welfare of his people, his kingdom and the happiness of his daughters. Father to the Princess Clementine and Hortense. Vocal range: Baritone, B flat to E
Queen Margot
Late 40s; Beautiful, practical, proud of her taste in clothes and interior decorating. Feels herself to be the more practical and realistic partner of her royal marriage. Doesn’t care for disruptions of any kind. Wants both her daughters happily married. Vocal range: Mezzo, B to E
Hortense
20s; beautiful and sexy, but spoiled younger sister to Clementine and unhappily wed to handsome prince Claus. A comedienne with a strong vocal belt. Jealous of her elder sister and unsatisfied in her marriage. Vocal range: Alto, A to high F (must belt up to D)
Claus
30s; German-born husband to Hortense. Matinee-idol handsome, well-meaning, but not very bright. He married Hortense to inherit her father’s kingdom. Vocal range: Hight Baritone, C to F
Four Taoist Masters
Mixed ages and races (Taoist Masters gathered from the various races and corners of the Universe); 2 men, 2 women, jazz and do-wop skills required, as well as comic style. The Masters are our timeless and universal consciousness who weave a humorous contemporary viewpoint through the entire show, linking scenes and aiding the characters. Vocal description: skilled in harmonies, but with interesting individual voices.
Everyman, Everywoman
2 Men, 2 Women: appear variously as Peasants, Tao Maidens, Suitors, Frog Damselles, Courtiers. Men: 1 Baritone, 1 Tenor; Women: 1 Alto, 1 Soprano (both with belt capability)
