BREAKDOWN
Eric/Kellyanne Conway (obvious drag)
30-45: Comic actor who must move very well (he does a disco number as a back-up dancer). Older “fair haired boy” looks – pale and blond-ish. (Note: He may also play Mike Pence in a grey wig.)
Tenor
D3 - E5
Marla/Tiffany
30-45: Strong comic timing. As Marla, she is an attractive, brassy gal (she was on Broadway in the past) who has taken on a phony “Namaste” spiritual façade we see right through. She also plays her daughter (comically) in the first scene – as a trashy Britney Spears type.
Mezzo
F#3 - Eb5
Melania
28-45: A very attactive showgirl type brunette. She wears high slit/low cut gowns she must be able to move in, and speaks in a thick “Melania” accent. Full of ego and attitude, she can stare down the best of them, but is winning in her wickedness. A great comedic role – that lesser looks but a huge talent will accommodate.
Alto/Mezzo
E3 - D5
Donald Jr.
30-45: Comic Actor who must move extremely well (does the Tango and a Disco number) He plays “dumb Donald” . Body type can be skinny to a little paunchy. Dark hair is best – we’ll slick it back Don Jr. - style.
Tenor
D3 - D5
Ivana
38-50: Comedic actress with a commanding presence and great timing. She performs it with a great Czech accent and giant beehive. She must move extremely well – dances a tango in the show.
Mezzo
D4 - Ab6
Director/Sarah Huckabee (obvious drag)
25-45: White/Latino/Asian. “Could be Mormon/Could be Gay,” Good comic timing and MC-like presence. High Strung, Efficient, Exasperated by the family. Needs to move well. No dancing needed.
Baritone
B4 - C5
Ivanka
25-35: A beautiful, cool cucumber with a surprise wild side that comes out with her crazy high notes and soul disco number. Must move extremely well, but not necessarily a “dancer.”
Soprano with belt
D4 - B6
Piano player/Jared (dummy):
All ages and ethnicities. He’s experienced accompanist, who does all the instrumentals for the show. Must be able to musically lead the cast. His sings into the mic as he plays to voice the “Charly McCarthy” Jarod dummy.
Baritone
A4 - G4
(Note: Since the piano skills are paramount, if a woman is most qualified, one of the other cast members can voice the role.)
