Breakdown
SEEKING Singers for the ensemble, including the following featured chorus parts:
MINDY
Female, Asian-American or nonwhite, reads as a tween. Quick-witted, youthful and wide-eyed, hungry for material pleasures and new ideas. An enthusiast who says yes to life in large doses—Barbie dolls, iPads, books—she wants it all. A bubble-gum-rock voice—think Katy Perry.
PEARL
Female, African-American, reads as 16. An earth mama, a nature lover, a history geek, a romantic backpacker. She’s a junior ranger at Yellowstone, and an expert in the park's history, flora, and fauna. The sunrise there is her scripture. An earthy warm voice—think India Arie meets Alicia Keys.
MO
Male, Southern any ethnicity, in retirement. A veteran, a former beefcake, now more like a teddy bear. He’s like your favorite uncle—kind and loving, with a great belly laugh. A simple guy who enjoys life’s simple gifts. Thinks he's Frank Sinatra, but you can hear the rough edges of life in his voice.
HIGGINS
Male, Southern any ethnicity, in retirement. Mo’s husband. Mousy, a little trickster, always with a practical joke, always with a wink and a smile. In the worst of situations, this guy will find a way to make you laugh. A Fred Astaire type--thinner, higher voice that darts around, not showy but gets the song over.
MANUEL
Male, Peruvian, 30s-50s. A roadside tamales seller with the heart of a poet. Sexy because of his innate contentment and ability to connect. A great listener. Intuitive, humble, a connoisseur of life's humble pleasures. The lovely, lilting voice of a troubadour—think Jose Gonzales meets Jorge Drexler.
CASTAWAY
Male, nonwhite, nontraditional body types welcome, any age. A magical, evocative, unusual presence. All heart and wonder. He is a figment of Olivia’s imagination and provides her with love and comfort, but also the riches of a vast imagination. And so his presence, and voice, must be resonant, rich, and reverberant. Voice: like getting a hug from Luther Vandross.
AN OFFICER
Any ethnicity, any age. A clear, clean tenor. A blue collar feel. Plays numerous roles including a Legal Clerk.
A LAWYER
Any ethnicity, any age. Soprano or mezzo. A blue collar feel—plays a waitress—but also can play a decent immigration Lawyer fighting the good fight.
