SEEKING:

[FREDERICK FRANKENSTEIN] Early 30s-40s. A famous scientist dedicated to work and is innocent of the world at large. Intent to be distanced from a notorious grandfather whose scientific legacy is less than legitimate. Combines the manic energy of Danny Kaye with the charm and elegance of Fred Astaire. Bari-tenor singing voice up to G. Sings “Puttin’ on the Ritz.”

[ELIZABETH] 30s. Frederick’s spoiled and self-centered fiancée. Soprano singing voice up to High C. Tap dancing is a plus. Music has a “comic-operetta-ish” sensibility that reflects the songs of Romberg, Herbert, Friml, and early Kern.

[IGOR] 30-40s. A hunchback servant at the Frankenstein estate in Transylvania. Baritone singing voice to F#. Has the nimble charm to sing English music hall style songs and the show-biz savvy of Jimmy Durante. Tap dancing is a plus.

[INGA] 20s–Early 30s. A young local Transylvanian who becomes Dr Frankenstein’s eager assistant. Oblivious to a natural sexuality and appeal. Soprano singing voice up to High E with belt to D-flat. Tap dancing is a plus.

[INSPECTOR KEMP & BLIND HERMIT] 40s-50s. Inspector Kemp is the head of the local police with a highly developed sense of power and a keen desire to keep order in the town. The Blind Hermit is a recluse who enjoys a meal with Frankenstein’s monster. Bass-Baritone singing voice to high F. Demonstrates very dramatic singing chops in terms of volume and the break-your-heart quality of a singer like Al Jolson in his prime.

[THE MONSTER] 30s-40s. The monster created when Dr. Frankenstein performs the famous brain transplant. Bass-baritone with good legit sound up to E-flat. Physically imposing, character is preferably over 6’2”. Tap dancing is a plus.
