STEREOPHONIC (Broadway)
Understudies for the roles below. Total number of understudies is TBD as is the exact understudy configuration.
1 UNDERSTUDY: to cover Diana and Holly: She/ her. 20s-30s. Sings with an incredible voice and plays piano. See below for character descriptions, please note the instrumental and vocal needs for Diana and Holly.
DIANA: American, mid-late 20s, she/her. One of the lead singers in the band. Diana has one of those remarkable voices that can break your heart. Plays piano, but not a virtuoso. Can seem like a rock goddess one minute and a CVS cashier the next—she has a genial ordinariness that belies the seismic musical and creative force she in fact is. She can be goofy and silly and fun, but ultimately she is underestimated and underestimates herself— she doesn’t know how good she is, and is locked in a codependent loop with Peter that she can’t seem to break. Until she does.
HOLLY: British, early 30s, she/her. Piano and lead vocals. In the midst of a painful split from Reg and does everything she can to maintain her composure —though he will try her patience. She likes her champagne, chain smokes, and can be very silly and fun— it’s how she survives and endures. But she is fundamentally extremely shy and private for a rock star. Has an elegance, a surface coolness (she can be intimidating) but underneath she’s feeling increasingly lost.
UNDERSTUDIES (exact number TBD) FOR THE BELOW ROLES. EXACT CONFIGUARTION TBD. Please note the instrumental and vocal needs for PETER, SIMON and REG.
PETER: American, mid-late 20s, he/him. Guitar and lead vocals. An innovator, great musician; possesses the raw magnetism of a rock star, but is also a bit of a geek. Can come across as cool at times, but it’s a ruse — he’s sitting on an awful lot of unprocessed sadness. That said: he also knows how good he is. He wants more than anything to be appreciated for his contributions to the band-- though his obsessive (and sometimes tone deaf) perfectionist salvos start to turn people against him.
SIMON: British, late 20s – early 30s, he/him. Drums in the band. Is proficient on the drums. He’s the dad of the band in a way—he often has to be the diplomat, holds things together. At turns he indulges but also chides the other band members, depending on what’s needed. He’s playful— fun, eccentric and somewhat flamboyant— but always with a dry English reserve. He’s a full on 70s rock star and looks the part but has a surprisingly aristocratic upper-crusty air.
REG: British, late 20s - early 30s, he/him. Bass guitar in the band. Wounded, lovelorn, a bit childlike in his innocence. His drinking problem—exacerbated by the imminent breakup of his marriage— may threaten his position in the band. He can skew a bit somber and depressive until his spiritual transformation midway through the play. He reads as less aristocratic than the other Brits in the play.
GROVER: American, late 20s, he/him. the engineer who fudged his way into the job, but he’s not untalented. Nerdy, anxious, but determined to present as cool and competent. Desperate to impress Peter, whom he idolizes. A sweet, eager young man who over the course of the play tries to be more hardened and real politik because he thinks it’ll take him further.
CHARLIE: American, 20s, he/him — assistant engineer. Laidback, good-natured, a little loopy, but incredibly good at his job. Not quite as ambitious as Grover but he’s lucky in life.
