BREAKDOWN
Mainstage Production LIZZIE
Note: All roles have been CAST. However, actors will be considered for possible replacements if needed.
Lizzie Borden
Role CAST. (High belt: F#3-F#5, belt to A5 if possible) is damaged, twisted. She can turn on a dime from fragile, broken, meek and obedient to conniving, sinister, furious and terrifying. She is transformed through an act of unspeakable transgression, a violent act that makes her an instant legend
Emma Borden
Role CAST. (Alto/Mezzo belt: F#3-D5) is Lizzie's older sister, and a force of nature unto herself. She's Lady Macbeth to Lizzie, dripping her own hatreds into Lizzie’s ears over the years, stoking the fires of Lizzie’s rage, disappearing when the deeds must be done, and suffering with guilt afterwards.
Bridget Sullivan/Maggie
Role CAST. (Low Alto: F3 - E5) is the Borden’s Irish maid. Part rock-star, part banshee, part mystic - she always seems to know what is going to happen, does things one step before anyone else. She’s put upon, angry, and as resentful of the Borden sisters as she is of the parents
Alice Russell
Role CAST. (Legit Soprano with Mezzo belt, G3-A5) is the Borden’s next door neighbor. She is the sweet, caring mother- sister-lover which is sorely lacking in Lizzie’s life. She appears to Lizzie in her greatest moments of need and attempts to lead her away from a path of destruction and toward one of love, truth, and affection.
