MONTY. Baritone (B to High G). Plays 20’s – 40’s. High-energy DJ at the dance club.
STEPHANIE. Mezzo (Bb to F#). Plays 20, extremely beautiful Brooklyn Italian. Projects overconfidence and pretension but is really a simple girl trying to be more than what she came from. Must be genuinely likable. Killer voice and very strong dancer.
ANNETTE. Alto (Low F to C). Plays 18-20, attractive Brooklyn Italian. Innocent, insecure, needy; obsessed with Tony. She tries to mask her vulnerability with toughness. Strong dancer with show-stopping voice.
CANDY. Mezzo (Middle C to G). Plays 20’s – 40’s. Nightclub singer. Commanding presence with a killer voice.
Additional Roles (which will possibly double in the ensemble):
FRANK SR. Plays 40’s – 60’s. Tony's Brooklyn Italian, iron-fisted father who leads with bloated pride in the face of unemployment.
MR. FUSCO. Plays 30’s+. Tony’s boss at the hardware store.
PETE. Any age. Dance instructor who also runs the dance studio.
A strong ENSEMBLE of singer-dancers (late teens to 30’s) who populate the Brooklyn world of 1977 and, most specifically, that of the club 2001 Odyssey.
