SEEKING:
[ADELAIDE] – Late 20s-Early 40s, any ethnicity. Vocal range: Belt to D5. A showgirl with a heart of gold and a perpetual, psychosomatic cold. Easy-going, electric, comedic tour-de-force. Smarter than she’s given credit for. Very aware of how very long she’s been engaged to Nathan. Moves well.
[NATHAN DETROIT] – Late 20s-Early 40s, any ethnicity. Baritone up to high F. A rogue and a gambler but also a respected leader of his gang of ne’er do wells. Comedic and charming but a bit strapped for cash. A consummate businessman with divided loyalties. Adelaide’s fiancé. Moves well.
[SKY MASTERSON] – Late 20s-Early 40s, any ethnicity. Baritone up to E-flat. Smart, charming, handsome gambler. Romantic leading man with a bit of an edge. Able to adapt to any situation but ready to reel off pre-prepared anecdotes regarding his view of the world. Despite his failings, Sky is immensely likeable and oozes style.
[SARAH BROWN] – Mid-20s-Late 30s, any ethnicity. Soprano up to high A. Prim and proper Salvation Army officer. Has a hidden wild streak waiting to come out. An idealistic but sheltered missionary. Kind-hearted but like Sky, too categorical in her view of the world. Charisma and a silky voice. All physical types encouraged to audition.
[ARVIDE ABERNATHY] – 50s-60s. any ethnicity, any gender. Baritone or Mezzo soprano. Salvation Army leader and Sarah’s parental/” grandparental” figure. Kind, gentle, thoughtful. A reasonable elder with a warm heart that harbors only the kindest intentions.
[NICELY-NICELY JOHNSON] – 20s-40s, any ethnicity. High tenor up to B-flat. Funny character guy, likeable, sweet, comedic. An eccentric gambler and one of Nathan’s closest associates. Comfortable engaging with scenic elements in order to “build the environment” (as is central to the concept of this production). Moves well.
[LT. BRANNIGAN] – 30s-50s, any ethnicity. Non-singing role. Member of the police force trying to stop the floating crap games; tries to command respect, but the gangsters don’t really play along.
