BREAKDOWN
CHARITY HOPE VALENTINE (FEMALE, late 20’s-mid 30’s, ANY ETHNICITY) Down-on-her-luck, but always hopeful. An optimistic dreamer with a heart of gold. Often to her detriment. A dancehall hostess who dreams of finding true love. Determined, funny, quirky, and also despairing. Triple threat. Strong physical comedy. Very strong dancer. Alto/Mezzo (E3-C#5)
HELENE (FEMALE, 20’s-30’s, BLACK) Sultry and sassy dancer at the Fandango Ballroom; one of Charity’s best friends. Been around the block a bit. Straight talking, feisty, confident, and streetwise. A strong dancer. Mezzo with a big belty sound (F3-C#5)
NICKIE (FEMALE, 30-40 ANY ETHNICITY) Brassy New Yorker, dancer at the Fandango Ballroom. Mother Hen of the Fandango dance hall hostesses and one of Charity’s closest friends. She has seen it all and is quick to offer advice to Charity and the other girls. A very strong dancer. Mezzo with a strong belt (F3-C#5)
OSCAR LINDQUIST (MALE, 25-40, ANY ETHNICITY) A repressed, neurotic New Yorker. Claustrophobic, well educated, well spoken, and a very shy man. Works as an actuary (the most boring job in the world). A reluctant romantic. Strong physical comedy. Vocal Range: (B2-Gb4)
VITTORIO VIDAL (MALE, 30-40, WHITE) Very handsome, international film star. Italian. Knows his place in the world. Charismatic and authoritative. Bari-tenor with an operatic sound (Bb2-G4)
HERMAN (MALE, 35-55, ANY ETHNICITY) Owner of Fandango Ballroom. A tough taskmaster. Grizzled and annoyed at everything and everyone but with a good heart and surprisingly sensitive. A strong tenor (E3-B4)
URSULA MARCH/ENSEMBLE (FEMALE, 25-35, ANY ETHNICITY) Beautiful, hot headed and jealous significant other of Italian movie star, Vittorio Vidal. A flair for the dramatic. Strong comedic chops.
DADDY BRUBECK/ENSEMBLE (MALE, 25-40, BLACK) A true hippie, founder and leader of the Rhythm of Life Church. A spiritual, enigmatic, but laid-back kind of guy. A very strong singer who dances (C3-E4)
