Breakdown

SEEKING:

[JAMISON] SEEKING MINORITY ACTORS ONLY. The ''4th'' Marx Brother (Zeppo) A bit of a nebbish. The underdog. Late 20s early 30s. Great voice, great mover. Comic chops to match his sheepishness. Looking for a Jamison with a clear and ringing musical theatre lyric baritone sound (or tenor).

[DETECTIVE HENNESEY] SEEKING MINORITY ACTORS ONLY. Wildly inventive comic. 50s. Assertive to the point of foolishness. A bit of the Peter Sellers ''Pink Panthe'' to him. Great voice that can sell the funniest number in the show. Looking for a Hennessey who can over-the-top ''OPERA'' his song.
