**All Ethnicities encouraged to audition.

LOLA/SIMON –  Male 30’s-40’s Tenor Sings C3-B4 (with one top C). The Goddess of Sex on Earth.  A prizefighter’s physique draped in satin, a talented drag queen with the power to change the air in any room she enters.

CHARLIE PRICE – Male Late 20’s – 30’s. Tenor Sings C3–B4. He is handsome and loveable but there is a temper right under the skin. A bit confused and unfocused, with a hero hiding under a victim’s mantle.

LAUREN – Female 20’s – early 30’s Mezzo-soprano Sings B♭3–F♯5. Beautiful, but quirky (not glamourous like Nicola) working class girl. Funny and smart but has had bad luck with men. Terrific comedic actress.

NICOLA – Female 20’s – early 30’s. Mezzo-soprano Sings B♭3–F♯5.  Charlie’s girlfriend since school. Sophisticated looks. A social climber, driven and uncompromising.

DON – Male Late 20’s–40’s. Baritone Sings C3–F4 (must have a strong falsetto to D5 for the Finale). Lola’s nemesis. Burly hyper-masculine bear of a factory worker with a menacing physicality.

TRISH – Female – late 30’s–50’s. Alto Sings B♭3–D5 and must have strong rock/pop belt. Factory worker who has been there longer than any of the other women. A lot of life experience and a lot of responsibility at home.

HARRY/ENSEMBLE – Male, late 20’s-early 30’s. Tenor sings E3-C4. A contemporary of Charlie’s, but his opposite. Successful, self-aware, confident and carefree.  Ability to play acoustic guitar a plus.

MR. PRICE/ENSEMBLE – Male 40’s-60’s. Bari-tenor sings B♭2–G4 Charlie’s father, broken hearted to learn Charlie will not take over the family business.
