BREAKDOWN

All roles are open except the role of Cookie.
JIMMY WINTER:(early – mid 30s) A wealthy and handsome playboy about to be married. Actor must have great charm, comic skills, MUST SING AND MOVE EXTREMELY WELL. Classic song and dance man. BARI-TENOR (B3-F4, falsetto Bb5)
DUKE MAHONEY: (early 30s - mid 40s): Cookie’s sidekick. Not the brightest guy around. Very shy with women. By circumstance he must pass himself off as the Duke of England. He falls in love with the beautiful sexy chorus girl, Jeannie Muldoon. He is the dim but sweet stooge, paired with Cookie. Seeking physically extreme types. Dance ability a major plus. BARITONE (Bb3-Eb4).
SENATOR MAX EVERGREEN: (late 50s - 60s): Eileen’s father. A humorless career politician. Stuffy, stern and judgmental. Very distinguished looking. In his youth was in love with Millicent Winter, Jimmy’s mother. NON-SINGING ROLE.
CHIEF BERRY:(40s): Chief of the Long Island Police Department. Fiercely, and to a fault, dedicated to his job. Seems gruff on the outside. BARITONE (D3-Eb4).
BILLIE BENDIX: (mid 20s - early 30s): A tough, clever, feisty and street-wise young woman. Partners in rum running with her best friends, Cookie and Duke. She has always lived in a man’s world until she meets Jimmy, a millionaire playboy and falls in love. Must be a skilled farceur. Very appealing, attractive and underneath her tough veneer, she must have a strong sense of vulnerability. VERY HIGH BELT AND STRONG CHEST MIX (A4-E5) MUST DANCE VERY WELL.
EILEEN EVERGREEN: (late 20s - mid 30s): Lush and lovely, she is the self-proclaimed finest interpreter of modern dance in the world – as well as being spoiled rotten and completely self-involved. Jimmy’s fiancée and Senator Evergreen’s daughter. A dish with GREAT comic skills. LEGIT SOPRANO WITH A STRONG BELT (Bb4-Bb5). MUST MOVE VERY WELL.
ESTONIA DULWORTH, THE DUCHESS OF WOODFORD: (late 40s - late 50s): An upper-class, bejeweled dowager. A fervent prohibitionist – but underneath there is a wild spirit just waiting to be freed. STRONG BELT AND MIX, LEGIT HEADVOICE IS A PLUS (F#4-Bb5)
JEANNIE MULDOON: (mid 20s): A lovely, sexy, chorus girl from Brooklyn who falls in love with Duke, who she thinks is the Duke of England. She still loves him for who he is once she finds out the truth. They are the perfect couple, not too bright but winning. STRONG BELT (Ab3-Db5). MUST BE A DANCER.
MILLICENT WINTER: (60s): Jimmy’s mother. She is ‘Auntie Mame’; full of life with absolutely no pretenses even though she is unbelievably rich. Lives live to the fullest. Has sex appeal. We find out she made all of her money as a rum runner. NON-SINGING ROLE.
PERFORMERS OF ALL ETHNICITIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.
ENSEMBLE
6 MEN AND 6 WOMEN. CHARISMATIC. SEEKING ALL ETHNICITIES. TECHNICAL DANCING SKILLS A MUST. ALL MUST BE ADEPT AT PARTNERING AND MUST TAP DANCE. A VERY ATHLETIC DANCE SHOW. ALL MUST SING.
