BREAKDOWN
HAIR
First Rehearsal July 10, 2017
First Preview July 27, 2017
Performances through September 24, 2017.
Claude: (Rock Baritone/Tenor, late teens) Smart, attractive male, with a playful side; a lover of life and the picture of a young man next door of the 60's. A charismatic leader that women adore, boys emulate and men will follow into the breach. A man of conscience who struggles with the conflict of what his heart tells him is right and what the authorities around him lead him to believe.
George Berger: (Bari-Tenor, late teens) A social activist recently banished from high school. He knows what is right and sticks to it no matter the consequence. The leader of the tribe. High energy, athletic, wild. Strong presence and, though he may be a young man, he is looked up to.
Sheila: (Rock Alto/Belter, late teens) A second semester student and passionate protester from NYU who lives with Berger and Claude, aspires to spread love, loves Berger but having Claude's baby. The most intelligent of the tribe. Wants to change society through peaceful protest.
Jeanie: (Alto, late teens) A follower, not a leader. Incredibly sweet, understands Claude better than anyone. Wise, passionate, creative woman, who is pregnant with the tribe's baby. She has taken every drug, and takes care of the tribe. Strong actress to play comedic and dramatic scenes.
Crissy: (Mezzo, late teens) a flower child mourning a lost love - The youngest female of the tribe
Dionne: (Alto/Mezzo Belt, late teens) Sassy and lots of fun. Great with comedy and ad-lib vocals.
Hud:(Soul/Rock Baritone/Tenor, late teens) Speaks his mind and hopes you can keep up with him. High energy, spiritual performer with a strong voice and presence. A true tone setter that is a natural on stage in any situation.
Woof: (Rock Baritone/Tenor, late teens) High energy, versatile performer. Must be a natural with comedy. Looks up to Berger and Mick Jagger... in many ways.
Tourist Couple: Two male performers, strong comic timing. One appears as a believable woman(with falsetto voice), while the other is her miserable husband.
