Think "Mature Mariah" era, where everything is polished and grand. : Must have the ability to execute signature Mariah whistle tones and big diva moments. - Mariah is determined to make this musical her crowning achievement, securing her Tony award and cementing her EGOT status.

God (Whitney Houston Reincarnated)Female20-35 y.o.African-American Latino / Hispanic Other Asian Middle Eastern Native American Pacific Islander Indian/South Asian

BIPOC - Supporting Role - A fun, quirky, and cooky version of Whitney Houston, much like Maya Rudolph’s SNL portrayal. A larger-than-life figure, both loving and chaotic, who guides Mariah (Moses) on her mission to free the slaves. Should have powerful vocals with the ability to mimic Whitney’s iconic sound. Comedic timing is key. To guide Moses on this spiritual journey while delivering diva-style wisdom.

Andy CohenMale20-59 y.o.White / Caucasian

Supporting/Comic Relief: cis male - Charismatic and humorous, playing himself as the host of “Watch What Happens Live” (WWHL). He starts out as a neutral host, but as the show progresses, he gets more inebriated, turning the musical into a drinking game. Not required to sing, but great comedic timing is a must. To keep the show fun and entertaining, progressively loosening up as the musical evolves into Mariah's chaotic vision.

MiriamFemale20-39 y.o.African-American Latino / Hispanic Other Asian Middle Eastern Native American Pacific Islander Indian/South Asian

Bipoc Performer - Supporting Role - Innocent, pure-hearted, and slightly naive. She’s Moses’ real sister and has a big comedic element as she reacts to the madness unfolding around her.
