BREAKDOWN
SEEKING ADULT PRINCIPALS:
DEWEY FINN- Late 20s-Mid 30’s. An original. Great comic chops, High rock tenor, MUST have some guitar skills or be ready to learn. PRINCIPAL
ROSALIE MULLINS- Late 20s-Mid 30s. A rock chick imprisoned in the body and life of a stern and correct headmistress. Soprano with a strong belt. PRINCIPAL
NED SCHNEEBLY- Late 20s-Mid 30’s. Ned was once as keen on rock as Dewey, but failure has beaten him down. He clings to his girlfriend, Patty, as the one sure thing in a sea of regrets. Rock voice. PRINCIPAL
PATTY- Late 20s-Mid 30s. Patty is a hard woman who knows what she wants, and she doesn’t want Dewey. Not in her life. Not in Ned’s life. Her dislike of Dewey is the strongest thing about her. Strong belt voice. PRINCIPAL
SEEKING PRINCIPAL CHILDREN:
CHILDREN MUST BE UNDER 5’ TALL AND AGES 9-12
PRINCIPAL ROLES:
TOMIKA- A wonderful singer, she is a girl who is exasperated by her two fathers’ inability to see that she needs help. They think she’s perfect. She knows she’s drowning. This character is African American. KILLER PIPES! Tomika barely speaks until she finally summons the courage to open her mouth and SING OUT so we have to be blown away by her sound. Pop/Rock (maybe some gospel?) Singer who moves well.
SUMMER- A Manhattan princess. She has never had it any other way than her own, and she is confident things will continue in this vein. She gives a new sense to the word entitlement. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well.
ZACK- PLAYS GUITAR. A mixture of anger at his father’s indifference and passion for the music that is raging inside him. He knows he has more in him than he has ever been able to show. THIS KID NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY ‘SHRED’ on GUITAR. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well.
LAWRENCE- PLAYS PIANO. A shy, awkward boy, unconfident and gauche, but a genius on the keyboard, who needs a free spirit like Dewey to lead him out of the darkness. SERIOUS PIANO SKILLS NEEDED. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well.
FREDDY- KILLER DRUMMER with a LOT of personality. A boy who is happy to be released. This is the kid who comes from a working class background and unlike many of his classmates – was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth – which his Dad – who is NOT happy about his kid’s obsession with music – never lets him forget. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well.
KATIE- PLAYS BASS GUITAR. She is distinguished by her talent for the bass. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well.
BILLY- A boy with a marked artistic flair, and other problems... Pop/Rock Singer who moves well.
MARCY- Clever girl. Back up singer & dancer with style. Pop/Rock Singer who moves VERY well.
SHONELLE- Clever girl. Back up singer & dancer with style. Pop/Rock Singer who moves VERY well. (Understudies TOMIKA so must be a truly strong singer)
MASON- As eager as the others to enjoy school instead of dreading it. He is a whizz on the technical side. Pop/Rock Singer who moves well. Must play PIANO. Will understudy the role of LAWRENCE.
