DEADLY STAGES
MARVIN/JOE/FRITZ (Male Identifying, Late 40s-late 60s, Any Ethnicity) Doubles as: MARVIN MAXWELL- A big time Broadway producer. Older man, possibly foreign.
DETECTIVE JOSEPH JOE COLETTI- The smart, savvy NYC detective investigating the mysterious murders.
FREDERICK FRITZ FARLEY- An elderly actor, a tried-and-true veteran of the stage who has worked with all of the greats of the 20th Century.
MALE UNDERSTUDY (Male Identifying, 30s-40s, Any Ethnicity) To Understudy:
[TRACK 4] - ANTHONY TONY ARLO- A new hotshot Broadway playwright/director. Charismatic and somewhat conceited, but deservedly so. CLARENCE, the stage doorman and STAN, the hydraulic lift repairman.
[TRACK 5] - GRAHAM SINCLAIR- Charming and urbane if slightly effete-Peter Lawford type. An amusing, but ineffectual British playboy. His constant presence and penchant for showing up when he is least welcome is a constant annoyance to his soon to be ex-wife Veronica. Actor must be able to speak with a British accent. and WADE ELLIOT The leading man of Tony's new play. A young wannabe hepcat and a fan of Veronica's.
[TRACK 6] - MARVIN MAXWELL – A big time Broadway producer. Older man, possibly foreign. Also, JOE COLLETTI – The smart savvy NYC detective investigating the mysterious murders. And FRITZ FARLEY – An Elderly actor – a tried and true veteran of the stage who has worked with all the greats of the early 20th Century.
FEMALE UNDERSTUDY (Female Identifying, 30s-40s, Any Ethnicity) To Understudy:
[TRACK 1] - VERONICA TRAYMORE- A Broadway legend in her own time. Katherine Cornell, Tallulah Bankhead and Margo Channing all rolled into one. Emotional, imperious, mercurial.
[TRACK 2] - PHOEBE - An ambitious but sincere-seeming fledgling actress (inspired by Phoebe in ALL ABOUT EVE) - Believably sincere. She eagerly and excitedly accepts a job as Veronica's assistant when the previous one is murdered, and CONNIE - An aggressive but polished gossip columnist, someone you love to hate. She is a no-nonsense journalist who has never met a rumor she didn't exaggerate.
[TRACK 3] - DOONEY- An old as the hills Irish woman and Veronica's right hand. Ornery as all get out. Also, BARBARA LANDIS- The best literary agent in town. Smart and savvy. Think Eve Arden, and RITA VERNON- A beautiful movie starlet. Spoiled and not especially bright, though somewhat street smart.
