BREAKDOWN
SEEKING:
Drew - (male 20s) a strong rock tenor that can belt up to at least a high C, preferably high D, has comedic timing and charm. He’s a rocker who dreams of making it big on the Sunset Strip and beyond. A devoted good guy who’s currently working as a bar back at the famous Bourbon Bar as he strives to “break in writing and singing his own music. He has instant attraction and chemistry with Sherrie.
Sherrie - (female 20s) a strong rock belter up to D# with strong low notes, has comedic timing and good movement ability. She is straight off the bus from Kansas and new to the Sunset Strip to pursue her passion and dreams of becoming an actress. Unsuspecting and trusting in others even as she finds herself taking a stripper job to get by.
Lonny - (male late 20s-early 30s) a dynamic comic tenor with improv skills and strong rock vocals that can belt up to a high B. The sound guy at the Bourbon Bar and self-proclaimed “sound god”, he’s the narrator/conjurer of the show who has instant stage presence and charisma to spare. Funny, unabashed, and cheeky.
Dennis - (male mid 30s-40) a rock baritone that can rock belt up to a G, has excellent comedic timing. He runs the Bourbon Room and is an easy going stoner type whose heart is in the right place but is feeling the changing of the times arriving as everyone looks to him to help save the Bourbon bar, and the Strip, from being sold off to foreign developers. A dry wit.
Stacee Jaxx - (male 30s) a Rock Tenor that belts up to a high C - rock star that decided to leave his successful hair/metal - rock band to try it solo. Has charm when he wants to but then immediately drops it. Full of himself and truly the ultimate bad boy - all the while having great comic timing.
Justice - (female 30s-40s) sings rock and soul with a belt up to a C# with strong low notes. Once a performer herself, she now operates a strip club where she is a maternal figure for the girls that work for her. Her presence is strong with an easy sensuality.
Hertz - (male late 30s-40s) a rock Baritone that belts up to at least a G# preferably an A. He’s a German businessman trying to buy the Bourbon Bar and most of the Strip to develop it. He is intimidating and uptight. Very demanding of his son. Has strong comic timing.
Franz - (male 20s) Hertz’s son with a rock belt up to A. Has comedic timing and dance ability. He is pressured and intimidated by his father to work for him. He’d much rather be back home starting his own confectionery store. Shy, gentle with a big heart.
Regina - (female 20s) a conscientious, earthy, hippie type who leads the protest against Hertz’s attempted take-over of the Strip. Rock Belt up to a C#. Has comedic timing and dance ability.
