EDNA TURNBLADFemale46-64 y.o.White / Caucasian

(swing u/s): White woman of size, played by male or masc performer in drag. A big woman with an even bigger heart. Sharp witted and clever, with a lot of mileage for someone who never went far from home. Good movement skills necessary, but not a superior dancer. Production team is hoping to lean into the style and grit of Divine from the original Waters film. Experience with drag a major plus!

CORNY COLLINSMale36-44 y.o.White / Caucasian

Crooner and TV show host. Charismatic and disarming. Good movement skills necessary, but not a superior dancer.

DUANE/ENSEMBLEMale18-26 y.o.African-American

Must be strong dancer. Tenor a plus. Covers the Duane track with some spoken lines.
