Claude Frollo - Archdeacon of Notre Dame Cathedral and the most powerful cleric in Paris, he is the reluctant caretaker of Quasimodo. He will do whatever it takes to rid the city of the “vermin,” even as he lusts after Esmeralda. Calculating, manipulative, and obsessive. Gender: Male. Age range: 40’s to 50’s. Vocal range: E2-Bb4
Quasimodo- The deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame and Claude Frollo’s charge. Lonely and staunchly obedient to Frollo, he possesses a vivid imagination that brings to life the bells and gargoyles of the cathedral. Despite his shyness and uncertainty, he quickly befriends Esmeralda. Big-hearted, and brave when need be. Gender: Male. Age range: 20’s to 30’s. Vocal Range: Bb2-C5 (MUST have at least a strong Bb but C preferred)
Esmeralda-A beautiful and free-spirited woman who possesses the strong sense of justice and morality that Frollo lacks.

Vocal range: E3-D5
Captain Phoebus de Martin-Returning to Paris after serving in the war, Phoebus takes up his new position as Captain of the Cathedral Guard.

Vocal range: A2-Ab4
Clopin Trouillefou-Clever and charismatic. An air of mystery surrounds Clopin, who often leaves the scene in a puff of smoke.

First Non-AEA: 8/11, First AEA: 8/27, Open: 9/12, Close: 9/29
Roxie Hart: Age 25-40. Innocent, sexy, desperate, selfish. Roxie is not very bright and never thinks about the consequences of her actions before she says or does things. Every move is selfish, every idea foolish and ill-considered, and yet she remains strangely sympathetic because we know her selfishness is not malicious; but childish. All Roxie cares about is getting into Vaudeville. Needs to be a strong actress, singer and dancer. (mezzo)
Velma Kelly: Age 25-45. Sarcastic, sexy, tough, funny. Velma is a former vaudeville performer who also serves as the hostess. She often talks directly to the audience. She killed her husband and her sister after finding them together. Used to being the headliner she learns to hold her tongue and make nice to save her vaudeville career. Needs to be a strong actress, singer and dancer. (alto)
Billy Flynn: Age 35-60. Sexy, persuasive, manipulative, masculine. Billy is a suave, educated lawyer who can persuade anyone to do anything. Billy will take any case as long as it is sure to put money in his pocket. Billy is a lot like a Hollywood Agent. Needs to be a strong character actor who can sing and dance well. (tenor)
Matron “Mama” Morton: Age 35-65. Sexy, funny, powerful and tough. The matron of the Cook County Jail who believes that all favors she gives should be reciprocated or paid for. If Billy is the Agent, Mama would be considered the Manager. Needs to be strong character actor who can sing well. (alto)
Mary Sunshine: Any age. Looking for a male soprano or counter tenor who can sing legitimately up to a high B flat who must play a woman with the image of a good natured talk show hostess but is actually a high powered gossip columnist. Must be a good comedian. (soprano)
Female/Male Ensemble: Ages 18+. Looking for strong dancers and singers. Several featured acting roles .
