Character Breakdown

She is always first on the scene for any major film opening and has the Hollywood scoop. 

Don Lockwood is Hollywood's leading man in silent film. Charming and charismatic, Do has shortage of female admirers. Don is smart and levelheaded; he likes being a famous Hollywood actor, but he doesn't let the celebrity hype go to his head.

Prepare: "You Were Meant For Me"

Lina Lamont is a glamourous star of Hollywood's silent films. She believes everything amazing she reads about herself in the gossip magazines, including that she and Don Lockwood are madly in love. This actress will have to work to accomplish the right amount of exasperating ditz to bring this character to life.

(Range Bb3-Db5)

Prepare: "What's Wrong With Me"

Cosmo Brown often serves as the comic relief in the show. Quick-withed and surefooted, Cosmo is fast with a one-liner to lighten the mood. Cosmo is Don's right-hand man and leads many numbers in the show.

(Range B3-D5)

Prepare: "Fit As A Fiddle"

Roz is always by Lina's side, or trailing after her. As Lina's manager, Roz works hard to make sure nothing upsets her. This non-singing character is a great supporting role for a non-singing actress.

R.F. Simpson is the studio producer in charge of "Lockwood-Lamont" films. R.F.'s first and foremost goal is to make money, and if that means doing a talkie film that's fine with him.

Dexter is the studio's director for Lamont and Lockwood films. He's loud and blustery, and he's easily frustrated with his assistants and Lina. This is a perfect non-singing role for an actor with a big voice who can show his frustration as he works to complete his first talkie.

Kathy Selden wants to become an actress. She takes her career as an artist seriously and is embarrassed that she has to take jobs like singing and popping out of a cake just to get by. A strong singer and actress who can easily potray an honest likeability as well as a tough exterior.

Range (G3-Eb5)

Prepare: "Lucky Star"

Miss Dinsmore and the Teacher are the vocal coaches hired to turn Lina's voice into cultured perfection and to work with all of the other actors in the show. Tough, proper and slightly overworked, these characters are great, hard-working ensemble roles.

Zelda is a chorus girl who informs her that Kathy's voice is being dubbed over hers. Zelda can be dramatic and over-the-top like Lina, but at her core, she cares about her friend. A fantastic role for a confident performer who is unafraid to make bold choices.

Sam, a sound engineer, should be all business. A young person who is comfortable taking charge onstage.

The Broadway Melody Host is a natural leader. This role can be male or femal, but a strong singer. This actor doesn't need to be an excellent dancer, but he or she needs to command the stage with an air of confidence.

Range (Bb3-F5)

Prepare: "Broadway Melody"

Broadway Dancer #2 Ranger (C4-Eb5)
