Casting Director’s note: “Some second act roles may change depending upon who's cast. These are the only roles we are casting out of New York.”

George:

Looks early - late 30s. Handsome, dark, brooding. Genius painter, struggling to find his voice. He is obsessive, somewhat self-absorbed, and has extraordinary passion and self-criticism. Seeking actor/singer (tenor/baritenor).

Dot / Marie:

Two-character track. Should read late 20s - mid 30s. Dot: Beautiful, sexy and very emotional. Hungers for connection and love. She is George’s muse, and is deeply in love with him. Tries to better herself in all aspects. Vivid and full of life and sexuality. Actress must play a very old lady in the second act. Seeking actor/singer (mezzo soprano legit/belt).

Nurse / Mrs. / Harriet Pawling:

Multi-character track. Should read mid 30s - 40ish. Role for a skilled comic character actress, but she must also have a sexuality that reveals itself. Actress plays Mrs. in Act I, and Harriet (an arts patron) in the Act II. Seeking actor/singer (legit soprano/belt).

Jules / Bob Greenberg:

Two-character track. Should read 40-50ish. Jules: Another artist; jealous of George’s talent, and this shows itself in his behavior. George’s mentor, who, deep inside, understands that his student is actually more talented than himself. Actor plays the museum director in Act II. Seeking actor/singer (baritone).

Yvonne / Naomi Eisen:

Two-character track. Should read late 30s - late 40s. Yvonne: Jule’s wife and protector. Strong, domineering person who is actually covering a deep vulnerability. Comic skill a plus – actress plays the quirky, lesbian composer in Act II. Seeking actor/singer (mezzo legit/belt).

Soldier / Alex:

Two-character track. Should read late 20s - early 30s. Soldier: Very handsome, strong, a bit still and controlled. “Lives” a soldier’s life. Dry charm. Actor plays an artist in Act II. Seeking actor/singer (baritone/baritenor).

Celeste #1 / Elaine:

Two-character track. Should read late 20s - mid 30s. Celeste: Flirty, manipulatively forward shop girl. Elaine: In Act II, George’s loving, honest, grounded ex-wife. Seeking actor/singer (legit soprano/belt).

Louis / Billy Webster:

Two-character track. Should read mid 30s – late 40s. Louis: In Act I, the kind, sweet, awkwardly handsome baker … “that’s the trouble, nothing’s wrong with him”. Billy: In Act II, Harriet Pawling’s somewhat judgmental and agreeable friend. Seeking actor/singer (baritone).

Franz / Lee Randolph:

Two-character track. Late 20s - late 30s. Franz: Servant to Jules and Yvonne. Married to Frieda. Secretly attracted to the Nurse. Comic actor needed, German dialect required. Lee: In Act II, the museum’s publicist. Seeking actor/singer (baritone).

Frieda / Betty:

Two-character track. Late 20s - late 30s. Frieda: Cook to Jules and Yvonne. Married to Franz. Secretly attracted to Jules, her boss … and they connect. Comic actor needed, German dialect required. Betty: An artist, in Act II. Seeking actor/singer (mezzo legit/belt).
