"Nikola" New Musical Needs Equity Performers

[Tenor] is a visionary inventor whose vivid visions of the future often leave him feeling isolated, misunderstood, and at times even a little insane. With an overactive imagination and near-photographic memory, he can visualize inventions fully formed in the air around him, seeing possibilities decades before anyone else can comprehend them. His ability to see what doesn’t exist is both his genius and his curse, driving groundbreaking innovation while pulling him further away from reality.

[Soprano] is a dazzling New York City socialite who has mastered the art of connection in a world where women are rarely taken seriously. She moves through high society like a conductor, orchestrating conversations, relationships, and influence with effortless charm. Beneath her wit and magnetic confidence is a woman deeply restless with the limits placed on her life. Watching the world race toward the future, Katharine is one of the few people asking who that future is actually for.

[Tenor] charismatic, larger-than-life showman of an inventor — equal parts genius, mogul, & diva — who has built his empire as much on turning innovation into spectacle. He commands every room like a stage, dazzling the public with bold promises & brighter demonstrations, all in service of a singular obsession: to matter, to be celebrated, to be remembered. Beneath the bravado is a man who has worked relentlessly to construct not just a system of power, but a legacy with his name stamped on it.

[Tenor] a slick, charming reporter who moves effortlessly through a fast-changing world, shaping its chaos into his hard-hitting exposés with instinct, wit, & total control over how he’s perceived. A master of words (and punctuation), he knows exactly who to be in every room—including the devoted husband to the fiery & magnetic socialite, Katharine Underwood-Johnson—using his carefully constructed persona to move seamlessly through society while uncovering truth in others with razor precision.

[Soprano] is the ruthless king of American capitalism. To Morgan, nothing is more seductive than power, and he uses it to bend the world to his every will. He's sharp, intimidating, and impossible to outmaneuver. While men like Edison and Tesla fight to leave their mark on history, Morgan already owns the factories that print it. Tesla’s brilliance and ambition intrigues him, recognizing great power in him. Morgan agrees to finance Tesla’s massive wireless tower.

[Baritone] is a booming, big-hearted industrialist with the soul of an optimist and the energy of a hype man—Nikola Tesla’s most enthusiastic champion and, for a time, his perfect counterpart. Flush with success from his railroad innovations, he’s already conquered industry once, and now he’s determined to use that fortune to make the world fairer, more accessible, more alive with possibility. He believes power should belong to everyone, not just the elite.

[Tenor] is a young immigrant inventor bursting with ambition, swagger, and just enough brilliance to be dangerous—a rising star who might have been Nikola Tesla’s friend under different circumstances. When they finally meet, Marconi can’t help but fanboy over his hero, mirroring Tesla’s own wide-eyed admiration of Edison years earlier—except now Tesla is the legend in the room. Marconi is inspired by Tesla's wireless communication ideas, and yet he seems to lack in communication skills.
