& JULIET (Broadway)
STORYLINE: The most famous love story of all time . . . Remixed. & JULIET is the hilarious and fun loving hit West End musical that asks: what if Juliet’s famous ending was really just her beginning? What if she decided to choose her own fate? Soaring with pop anthems from the catalogue of Max Martin, including ...Baby One More Time, Everybody (Backstreet's Back), Since U Been Gone and Can’t Feel My Face, & JULIET is a riotous blast of fun and glorious music that proves when it comes to love, there’s always life after Romeo.
JULIET (early 20s, any ethnicity) THIS ROLE IS CAST. The overprotected daughter of the Capulets, limited in her experience of love, but also an unfailingly optimistic rebel-in-waiting. Juliet will challenge social conventions of female modesty and decorum — not a docile, obedient girl, but a confident, independent woman — as she learns to own her choices and love herself for who she truly is. Vocal range: G3 - MINIMUM top D5 belt, strong mix to F5.
ANNE/APRIL (32 – 42, any ethnicity) THIS ROLE IS CAST. The strong-willed wife of Shakespeare who doubles as Juliet’s best friend. Older than her husband, and in many ways wiser, she is his biggest fan, but also his sharpest critic. Recognizing the parallels between Romeo & Juliet and her own life, Anne’s determination to see Juliet persevere is deeply personal. As she writes herself into the new play as April, we see the fun-loving side of Anne that she hasn’t explored in years. Vocal range: G3 - top D5 full belt.
MAY (20 – 35, any ethnicity) THIS ROLE IS CAST. Loving and always supportive of Juliet, May is a young person discovering who they are in the world. An ideal companion for a trip to Paris with Juliet. May sees an opportunity to start fresh and finds a newfound strength while fighting for a life-changing relationship. Vocal range: G3 - Bb4.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (30 – 43, any ethnicity) THIS ROLE IS CAST. Handsome, famous, and endlessly aware of his own wit, William Shakespeare is the jolly leader of his company of Players, until his wife Anne begins to question his authority. William enjoys the spirited competition that ensues, and brings a mischievous spirit to rewriting with Anne, until it becomes clear that much more than the fate of his play is at stake, and he is forced to reexamine his priorities. Vocal range: G3 - A4 (or ideally C5).
ROMEO (20 – 29, any ethnicity) THIS ROLE IS CAST. Juliet’s first love is a notorious womanizer, in love with love, and above all, a drama queen, but he is also a true romantic whose feelings for Juliet go beyond anything he has experienced before. As he comes to terms with mistakes of the past, he, too, is longing for a second chance. Vocal range: G3 - A4.
FRANCOIS (20 – 35, any ethnicity) THIS ROLE IS CAST. A misunderstood French musician with a playful sense of humour. Like Juliet, Francois is inexperienced in the ways of love, and is dealing with an overly controlling parent. Through Juliet, he develops the courage that will open up a world of possibilities. Vocal range: C#3 - F#4 or G#4.
LANCE (40 – 59, any ethnicity) THIS ROLE IS CAST. Francois’ father, a burly former soldier. As a widowed single parent, Lance only wants a better life for his son, but the weight of his expectations is driving a wedge between them. This changes, however, when an unexpected reunion with an ex-lover restores the twinkle to Lance’s eye, and he is reminded of the complicated nature of finding true love. Vocal range: A2 - Eb4. (lowest notes can be a talk/sing if necessary).
ANGÉLIQUE (NURSE) (40 – 49, any ethnicity) THIS ROLE IS CAST. Juliet’s confidante who has cared for her since she was a baby and is closer to Juliet than her own mother. Boisterous, bawdy, and full of surprising sensuality that has long been repressed for Juliet's sake. As Angelique becomes the unexpected focus of a reignited romance, she struggles, for the first time, to put her own needs first. Vocal range: needs a minimum D5 in full belt (mix to high F#). Lower notes can be character-y, talk/sung.
