7 roles
(Non-signing) The narrator; a mechanical fortune-telling machine.
The leader of the group, relentlessly competitive, sometimes cruel, though she sees herself as a virtuous person; high Broadway mix, with a pop quality; big range.
Adopted from the Ukraine as a teenager; has thick Ukrainian dialect and a lot of rage; is obsessed by Gansgsta Rap (an enormous fan of the auto-tune phenomena); there is a hidden, soulful romantic side; Baritenor with the ability to sing lyrical Ukrainian folk music as well rap.
The only gay kid in Uranium; never had a relationship; obsessed by French New Wave cinema, has fantasies of dying a tragic death. Sings a song in the style of a French chanteuse.

Baritone rock voice; basic accordion and/or tumbling a plus.
Plus sized, and outwardly okay with it, but there is a very deep self-loathing. Will do anything for Ocean's friendship and allows herself to be used as a doormat; dubbed "the nicest girl in town," a title she secretly despises. Very likable comic actress; alto belt, with a rock edge
She was decapitated in the accident and no one claimed her body; even though she isn't headless in the piece (but often carries around a headless doll). She reacts in a literal way and largely without emotion, almost robot-like; the other contestants are totally freaked out by her. Classically trained soprano with a flexible coloratura upper range, and some grit and meat in the lower register.
