5 roles
18+ to play 17. An extraordinary singer who is comfortable with R&B/pop/jazz vocals. Vocal range Eb3 - F5 (G5 head voice). A strong, stubborn girl with a rebellious streak who is trying to carve out her own identity independent of her mother’s overprotective, ever-watchful eye.
An extraordinary & powerfully-voiced singer with a brassy sound and lots of vocal flexibility. Possesses a strong, HIGH belt and ability to mix. Comfortable with improvisation, R&B/pop/jazz vocals, and harmonies. Vocal range Eb3 — Ab5, but because of the improvisational nature of the music, there is no limit on high belt range. Ali’s mother, raising her as a single mom. Tough, outspoken, not afraid of a fight. What she says, goes.
Tenor, vocal range Eb3 — E5. An exceptional singer who is comfortable with R&B/pop/jazz vocals who can hold down harmonies. Ali’s father. A traveling musician, who has been absent for her entire life. Charming and likable. A true artist. His true love is music, and although he also loves his family, it’s difficult–maybe impossible–for him to make space for both.
Muscular Build. Tenor, vocal range B2 — Bb4. An extremely strong soul/R&B singer who is skilled in and comfortable with improv and ad lib. Think the vocal harmonies of 1980’s groups like Boyz II Men, Jodeci, New Edition etc. Experience with drumming and/or percussion is a big plus. A young man who has grown up holding his own in Ali’s gritty Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, who Ali falls in love with. He’s a house painter by trade and a dreamer by nature.
Vocal range B2 — D5. An exceptionally strong, powerfully-voiced singer who is comfortable with R&B/pop/jazz vocals and harmonizing. A longtime resident of Ali’s building who becomes Ali’s piano teacher. Outwardly stern and taciturn, with incredible gravitas and presence. Puts tremendous value on discipline and focus, but despite her imposing presence, approaches Ali with patience and empathy, and teaches her about life and adulthood, in addition to music.
