DESDEMONA - Upper-class. Very.
EMILIA - Broad Irish Brogue.
BIANCA - Stage Cockney.
by John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Bob Fosse.
LEADS:
Roxie Hart (Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano) - becomes a celebrity overnight when the news of Fred Casely's death gets picked up by the papers. Formerly dissatisfied with her life, Roxie revels in her newfound fame. Roxie is resourceful, cunning, and willing to do anything to stay out of jail. Moves well.
Velma Kelly (Vocal Range: Alto) - vaudeville start who (allegedly) murdered her husband and her sister in a fit of jealous rage. Velma is always looking out for Number One - herself. She's smart, confident, and assertive, and she likes being the center of attention - that is, until Roxie Hart shows up. Moves well.
Billy Flynn (Vocal Range: Bass-Baritone) - best criminal lawyer in Chicago. He revels in the fast-paced world of criminal defense, thrives by thinking on his feet, and trusts his ability to spin every situation to his client's (and his) advantage. He is a master manipulator with a ton of charisma and charm. Moves well.
Amos Hart (Vocal Range: Baritone) - Roxie's hard-working husband. While Amos isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, he truly loves Roxie and wants what's best for her. Though at first he is angry at her betrayal, he is willing to forgive her for the sake of their family.
SUPPORTING:
Mary Sunshine (Vocal Range: Countertenor/Soprano) - soft-hearted crime reporter from the Evening Star whose opinion Billy sways. She is a tenacious reporter and has lots of readers, and she is famous for humanizing the criminals she writes about.
