BREAKDOWN

NOTE: Seoul, Korea, 2064. Oliver and Claire are Helperbots, high-end robots that are nearly identical
to humans, designed to alleviate the social isolation of their wealthy owners. Already obsolete, Oliver
and Claire now live across the hall from each other in an apartment complex for discarded Helperbots.
When a broken charger unexpectedly brings them together, they embark on a journey that challenges
what they believe is possible for themselves, relationships, and love.

SEEKING:
[OLIVER] Male, 20s—30s, Asian. Boyish and innocent appearance. A robot, specifically an obsolete
Helperbot 3. Despite appearing very human, his emotional levels and physical movements are a bit
less gradated than the Helperbot 5. He loves other forms of outdated technology, like LP players and
paper maps and books. Optimistic by design, Oliver has always believed his former owner is
eventually going to come pick him up from the discarded Helperbot apartment complex. Baritenor who
can sing with clarity and simplicity from A3 up to a strong G4. Facility with straight tone is welcomed,
as well as comfort with falsetto or light mix. Great physical control and movement, as well as comic
ability. PRINCIPAL

[CLAIRE] Female, 20s—30s, Asian. Girlish and innocent appearance. A robot, specifically a Helperbot
5. As a model 5, she is capable of slightly more nuanced emotional shadings than the 3. Somewhat
impatient with less advanced models. Claire has also forsworn any kind of long-term emotional bond,
having observed at close range the broken relationship of the couple that owned her. A voice with
clarity down to Ab4 and a clean belt or strong mix to Eb5. Most essential is control of mix/head voice
up through D5 and facility with straight tone, perhaps erring outside of a traditional musical theatre
sound. Great physical control and movement, as well as comic ability. PRINCIPAL
