7 roles
Male presenting, high rock tenor (Chest voice: B2-Ab4, with an additional powerful falsetto up to rock scream G5). Blindingly charismatic, ethereal, tormented…a man with the literal weight of the world on his shoulders trying to gracefully lead his followers to greater “godly” things, while struggling mightily with his own mortal fate.
Male presenting, rock/soul tenor with access to very high registers across a full dynamic range (E3-D4 (+)). Passionate, intense, unbending…the tragic antagonist of our story. A truth-teller who finds it impossible to be a follower without accountability. The screaming, tortured voice of reason being drowned out inside a fever driven movement. STRONG MOVER.
Female presenting, belt mezzo with an early 70’s pop sound (G#3-C5) Serene, earthy, strong…a reformed prostitute who is Jesus’s most loyal and intimate confidante. A source of sanctuary amidst the chaos…her unwavering devotion evolves into unspoken romantic love for the man she struggles to understand fully.
Strong Baritone range with extended high register (A2- Bb4) Conflicted, reluctant, detached….the Roman prefect of Judea haunted by prophetic dreams. Pilot is the picture of moral cowardice that succumbs to political expediency.
Low Bass with a baritone range (C#2-F4) Commanding, pragmatic, cold…the calculating high priest of the Sanhedrin who prioritizes institutional stability over spiritual truth. Sees Jesus as a blasphemous threat that could provoke Roman annihilation of Jewish autonomy. STRONG MOVER.
High rock/soul tenor range (E3-D5) Sadistic, shrill, tightly wound…high priest raising the alarm about the dangers of Jesus shattering the comfy status quo. STRONG MOVER.
Highly versatile classic rock, pop, soul singer/dancers. An ensemble of ALL gender identities, ALL ethnic and racial backgrounds, ALL sizes to propel and ignite the story of Jesus’s final week. All need to be powerful singers and very good to excellent dancers. FEATURED ROLES that will be cast from the Ensemble.
