Breakdown
JUDY GARLAND (Frances Gumm) – Cast
Seeking:
FRANK GUMM
Caucasian male, 30-40’s. Bari tenor to sustained Ab. Like his daughter, Frank Gumm’s charismatic, audience-pleasing showmanship does not conceal the delicate poetry of his soul. Watching him perform, one can see the origins of the adult Judy Garland. Strong singer with movement ability.
ROGER EDENS
Caucasian Male, 30 ‘s. Bari Tenor to F Roger has an open, easy manner in keeping with his Texas roots and the comfort in his own skin, a quality he longs to impart to young Judy. May also play George Jessel (vaudevillian singer). Strong singer.
ETHEL GUMM
Caucasian Female, 30-40’s. Mezzo soprano with mix to D. A plain woman who compensates with a relentless, aggressive drive to succeed. Ethel’s need to be loved as a woman overshadows the tough love she practices with her children. Piano ability a plus. Strong singer.
MICKEY ROONEY (Joe Yule)
Caucasian male. 18+ actor able to play teens. Tenor. A pint-sized dynamo with an irrepressible energy and streetwise savvy. A self-absorbed opportunist and hedonist, he is an unrepentant skirt-chaser. Still, he’ll do anything for Judy—except consider her as a girlfriend. Strong singer with some dance ability. Drum playing ability a plus.
KAY KOVERMAN / MA LAWLOR
Caucasian Female, 50’s. Mezzo soprano with traditional belt to C. Kay Koverman is a matronly monument of American womanhood. Her loyal service to America’s richest man was the only logical step up from having served a Republican president. Despite her patrician, WASP behavior, her actions demonstrate a compassionate maternal side./Only in the dodgy world of child performers could the crass and morally dubious Ma Lawlor be considered an educator. Strong Singer.
L.B. MAYER
Caucasian male, 50’s 60’s. Baritone. Mayer is a bespectacled owl of a man, though Napoleonic is his sense of value and mission as the head of the biggest movie studio in Hollywood and the richest man in America. He clings to respectability and class in response to his roots as a penniless, Yiddish-speaking junk man. Strong singer.
