BREAKDOWN
This will not be a conventional production of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA and we will not be dividing the cast up into the traditional roles. The cast will be comprised of a small ensemble of seven performers all of whom have the same story and all of whom, at times, have their own story. That story is expressed through the music. Songs are divided between solos and group numbers and the exact configuration will be decided upon during the rehearsal process.
Please note it is the same description for all 7 character breakdowns as we will be creating an ensemble.
Performers who identify as transgender, non-binary, queer are strongly encouraged to audition.
