Character Descriptions:
WARREN
-
Vocal Range: G#2 - G5
-
Character Traits: Warren is a loveable oddball with a positive attitude and a heart of gold. He’s an artist searching for his “big picture” in life but hasn’t quite figured it out yet. His determination and over-eagerness add to his quirky charm. Through his budding friendship with Deb, he learns to reflect on his life’s direction while helping her appreciate everyday moments. Comedic delivery is essential for this role.
-
Voice Type: Tenor/Baritone.
DEB
-
Vocal Range: F#3 - E5
-
Character Traits: Deb is a no-nonsense, high-achieving grad student who’s constantly seeking happiness in the wrong places. She’s impatient, neurotic, and has a tendency towards negativity, despite her ambitions. Initially dismissive of Warren, whom she sees as a “waste of a life,” Deb’s world is turned upside down as she learns to appreciate life’s beauty through their unexpected connection. Comedic timing and strong diction are key for this role.
-
Voice Type: Mezzo.
JASON
-
Vocal Range: A2 - G#4
-
Character Traits: Jason is a devoted and loving man eager to start the next chapter of his life with his girlfriend, Claire. Though thrilled about their new living situation in New York City, he struggles to understand Claire’s resistance to their relationship’s progression. Jason is clear about what (and who) he wants in life, but he’s often met with Claire’s emotional barriers. He starts with an energetic opening number and sings mostly reflective, emotional ballads throughout the show.
-
Voice Type: Tenor.
CLAIRE
-
Vocal Range: G3 - E5
-
Character Traits: Claire is a strong-willed, emotionally complex woman struggling with the progression of her relationship with Jason. Though she loves him, she’s often stuck in her own head and finds it difficult to let go of the past. This internal conflict frequently leads her to shut Jason out, creating obstacles to her happiness. The role requires a confident belter who excels in both comedic and dramatic scenes.
-
Voice Type: Soprano.

3. AUDITION MATERIAL - P
For your initial audition, we’d love for you to sing a song of your choice that showcases your voice and personality. Your song should ideally be between 1-2 minutes long, but feel free to extend it slightly if needed. The most important thing is that you choose a piece you enjoy performing—whether it’s from the musical theater canon or beyond. We want to see your unique voice and personality, and what kind of material you connect with artistically. No judgment on song selection; if you’re excited to sing it, we’re excited to hear it!
