Character Breakdown

Casting Notes

The following are three possible cast sizes with our suggested doubling or splitting. A cast of thirteen or more will allow each actor to assume a single role throughout the show. A production with a cast of less than thirteen should be approached with each actor assuming multiple roles. Note that with smaller or larger casts, you'll need to redistribute incidental solo lines.

In any case, we strongly suggest that you use these character names for your reference only rather than including them in your show playbill. We feel it's best to include only song titles and the names of the actors performing them, rather than indicating which characters they are playing.
