The show uses the music of Sir Arthur Sullivan but also takes place in present time so legit singers with the ability to sing contemporary are essential for the piece.
When musical conductor Frederick Freemarket inherits his uncle's Wall Street investment company, he dreams of rescuing the world from economic doldrums. The company is worth twelve billion dollars – what could possibly go wrong? But golden dreams can hold hidden surprises, especially on Wall Street: love blossoms, tension mounts and spirits rise to a height of irrational exuberance that few can scale, before – in a classic Gilbert & Sullivan topsy-turvy twist – all ends in perfect harmony.
FREDERICK F. FREEMARKET: (20’s-30’s) New, idealistic owner of Freemarket Enterprises- a handsome, all around good guy with a musical past. A Gilbert and Sullivan hero alive and well in the present. Tenor to B flat
ELSIE GARDNER: (20’s-30’s) Newly hired company nutritionist, sweet with an inner fire and a past she cannot (or perhaps will not) disclose. Torn by her attraction to Frederick and the real reason she came to the company. A Gilbert and Sullivan heroine (even if she doesn’t know it,) with a secret. Soprano to B flat
CLARA CALCULATOR: (40’s-50’s) The CFO of Freemarket Enterprises, outwardly cold and business like, she has a history with the Company, is a senior member of the team and takes her work seriously, but will make what choices she must to save it, even if it leads to comedy. Mezzo soprano
PRUDENCE PEERGROUP: (30’s-40’s) Vice President of Human Resources, secretly in love with Bill Brilliant, prone to strong reactions and willing to take chances. Soprano
BILL BRILLIANT: (30’s-40’s) Technical brains of the company but socially awkward, he nonetheless has an inner strength that becomes very useful. Think Clark Kent on the outside, Superman on the inside. Tenor
HUEY/DEWEY/LOUIE: (20’s - 30’s, Male) Company employees, young smart executive types who look great in a suit and sing in three part harmony. They work hard and need companionship. Tenor/Baritone/ Bass
J. GEOFFREY BOHEMOTH: (40’s-50’s) Middle aged tycoon, suavely elegant but also very full of himself, owns the Behemoth Hedge Fund and plans to take over the world. Must be comfortable with patter singing. Baritone
APRIL/MAY/JUNE: (20’s-30’s, Female) Assistants to Mr. Behemoth, they are young sexy, smart, driven women on the way up professionally and on the lookout emotionally. Soprano/Mezzo/Alto
