BREAKDOWN

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Please prepare a song in the style of the show or use the accompaniment provided at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dtfanfl9m8wbfxh/AADVTqqJz3CuyWXQBwp7uq-Ia?dl=0 . If singing from the provided tracks: submissions for Lois sing Easier Said Than Done, submissions for Eugene sing Tears On My Pillow, and submissions for Duke, Denny and Wally sing Romeo and Juliet.

DENNY VARNEY: (Vocal Range: Tenor C3 - Ab4; Falsetto to D5) Five years after High School Graduation, Denny still lives with his mother. His lack of ambition has been his downfall, but the “Dream of a Lifetime” talent search has put new wind in his sails. Self-absorbed and bossy. Strong comedic timing.

EUGENE JOHNSON: (Vocal Range: Tenor C3 - A4; Falsetto to A5) Denny’s best friend and co-conspirator. Works for his dad at the Springfield Sweet Shop during the day and croons in Denny’s basement at night. Lovable nerd. Strong comedic timing.

WALLY PATTON: (Vocal Range: Bass / Baritone F2-G4; Falsetto to D5) A checker at the Piggly-Wiggly Supermarket, Wally is the son of a preacher who truly becomes the heart and soul of the group. When Eugene’s grade-school sweetheart comes into the picture, does Wally have a shot at the girl? Strong comedic timing.

DUKE HENDERSON: (Vocal Range: Bass/Baritone Ab2 - G4; Falsetto to Eb5) Duke is the new guy in the singing group but from the wrong side of the tracks. He works for “Big Stuff Auto”, the new sponsor of the group. He’s added to the group to make it a proper quartet. He’s also in love with Lois, the Boss’s daughter. Duke’s “Bad-Boy” attitude might just break up the group’s chances to win the contest. Strong comedic timing.

LOIS FRANKLIN: (Vocal Range: G3 - F5) Daughter of “Big Eddie” Franklin, owner of “Big Stuff Auto”, and herself a former song leader at Springfield High, she arrives on the scene to help shape the boys into a real singing and dancing group. Can Lois be the super-glue that holds the whole group together? NOTE: Doubles as the off-stage voice of Mrs. Varney, Denny’s mother. Strong comedic timing.
