Character Breakdown
The musical takes place early in the 19th century at a wayside inn in England.
The Man: Quiet, enigmatic, with a more cultured British accent than one might expect from a valet. He’s the Lord’s manservant in his thirties or forties. Charismatic but not conventionally handsome, he ends up (unexpectedly) with The Lady. He should almost go unnoticed when he first enters, as The Lord should seem the obvious partner to the Lady. But he’s surprising smart and charming, as he reveals during the course of the play. He should have a solid lyric baritone voice as he sings three of the show’s most striking songs: “Hullabaloo Balay,” “Come to the Masquerade,” and “Make Way for My Lady.” (The role was originally played in 1966 by 42-year-old Reid Shelton, who 11 years later played “Daddy Warbucks” in the original Broadway production of Annie.) The vocal range is low B to F sharp.
