SEEKING:

Frank Farmer: 21-45. A former C.I.A. agent, physically fit and athletic; sharp-witted, instinctive and charismatic. He radiates silent strength, alpha male type. Frank sings one song Karaoke style. He need not be a major singer.

Rachel Marron: 18-45. Soprano. An Academy Award-nominated superstar who is being stalked and sent death threats. She needs to sing in the style of Whitney Houston and move well.

Nicki Marron: 21-45. Mezzo-Soprano. Rachel’s older sister, a very talented singer who has taken a back seat to her sister’s rising star. Quiet type. A very strong singer. Nicki must have a very soulful, gospel-tinged voice, excellent pitch and an ability to riff.

Bill Devaney: 21-60. Rachel Marron’s long-standing Manager/Guardian Angel. He has looked after her from the start and runs her life. A kind and loyal man who always has Rachel’s best interest at heart.

Tony Scibelli: 21+. Rachel Marron’s security, broad shoulders, narrow hips, classic bouncer physique. He is fiercely protective of Rachel and would do anything for her. A kind man.

The Stalker: 21-45. Tenor. Rachel Marron’s stalker, military type, weird, outcast; should be able to sing comfortably in a tenor range; has one featured solo vocal line.

Fletcher: All Genders. 8-12. Treble/Boy Soprano. Rachel Marron’s son; should be a strong singer with an innate knowledge of pop/soul. Early Michael Jackson should be used as a reference. Able to sing.

Sy Spector: 21-60. Rachel’s publicist. He is deeply ambitious and doesn’t suffer fools or indeed anyone who isn’t doing exactly what he wants. His belief is that the whole Oscar nomination for Rachel is because of his hard work and his alone. He believes he is her driving force.

Ray Court: 21-60. An experienced and knowledgeable C.I.A. Agent; tall and professional. Lithe and athletic build similar to Frank Farmer. Should be able to sing in a karaoke style in the same way as Frank. Advanced singing skills not required.
