SEEKING:
VIVIAN WARD: Character is female, 20s – 30s, any ethnicity. A quirky girl who reluctantly works on Hollywood Boulevard as a prostitute but harbors Cinderella dreams of a better life. A star-crossed meeting with a lost billionaire propels her into a fish-out-of-water adventure among the rich and powerful of Beverly Hills. Along the way she learns that confidence and staying true to oneself are even more important than material wealth. Has strong comedic chops and movement ability. Excellent pop/rock singer with strong belt and mix.
EDWARD LEWIS: Character is male, late 30s – 40s, any ethnicity. A smart, successful, well-educated business mogul who takes over troubled companies and liquidates their assets. His tough, workaholic exterior conceals a sensitive artistic side, including a love of music and the arts. After meeting Vivian he realizes he will have to change if he wants to hold onto the things that matter most to him. Excellent pop/rock singer. Tenor. Has to confidently be able to sing an A.
HAPPY MAN/BARNARD THOMPSON: Character is male, 30s – 50s, any ethnicity. The magical Hollywood Boulevard fairy godfather to Vivian's street Cinderella. Later he transforms into Mr. Thompson, the efficient, tactful manager of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. He teaches Vivian to believe in herself. Excellent pop/rock singer. Tenor. Strong movement ability.
KIT DE LUCA: Character is female, 20s – 40s, any ethnicity. A professional prostitute and party girl who took Vivian under her wing to teach her how to survive on the streets. Tough but funny, she comes to realize she has a lot to learn from Vivian about not giving up and settling for less. Excellent pop/rock singer. Powerhouse high belter.
PHILLIP STUCKEY: Character is male, 30 to 45 years old, any ethnicity. A shameless yes-man who is as ambitious as he is insincere. While he promotes himself as Edward's closest friend and confidant, he is an opportunistic, manipulative, and cutthroat attorney. Tenor. Strong Singer.
