SEEKING:
FRANK FARMER:
Caucasian Male 40’s, A former C.I.A. agent Physically fit, lithe and athletic. Sharp witted and instinctive. Handsome and charismatic. He radiates a silent strength, - an American alpha man type. Frank sings one song in a karaoke style. He need not be a major singer, just have the confidence to sing in front of a theatre audience.
NICKI MARRON:
Female, African American Rachel’s older sister, late 30’s. Also a very talented singer who has taken a back seat to her sister’s rising star. Quiet type but attractive. Must be a very strong singer. Nicki must have a very soulful, gospel-tinged voice. She sings ballads in the show and so should have a warm resonance, excellent pitch and an ability to riff. Range from G below middle C to E at top of staff.
BILL DEVANEY:
Male, 50’s, Rachel Marron’s long-standing Manager/Guardian Angel. He has looked after her from the start and runs her life. A kind and loyal man who always has Rachel’s best interests at heart.
TONY:
Male, Late 30’s,Rachel Marron’s security. Broad shoulders, narrow hips, classic “bouncer” physique. He is fiercely protective of Rachel and would do anything for her. A kind man.
SY SPECTOR:
Male, 40’s,Spector is Rachel’s publicist, deeply ambitious and doesn’t suffer fools – or indeed anyone who isn’t doing exactly what he wants. Bullish and quick. His belief is that the whole Oscar nomination for Rachel is because of his hard work and his alone! He believes he is her driving force.
STALKER:
Male, Late 20’s to 30’s, Rachel Marron’s stalker, military type, weird, outcast. Should be able to sing comfortably in a tenor range. Has one featured solo vocal line.
RAY COURT:
Male, Late 30’s, An experienced and knowledgeable CIA Agent. Tall, attractive and professional. Lithe and athletic build. Not unlike Frank Farmer. Should be able to sing in a karaoke vein in the same way as Frank does. Advanced singing skills not required.
FLETCHER:
Male, 8-12, African American, Rachel Marron’s son. Should be a strong boy singer with an innate knowledge of pop/soul idiom. Early Michael Jackson should be used as a reference. Needs to be able to sing a top E and have strong pitch and an ability to riff.
