Henry: An everyman still working on finding his path in life. Earnest, well-meaning. Must get audience to identify with him and root for him. Strong tenor.

Katrina: Someone with a strong core who has been beaten down by life circumstances. Strong, powerful Belt voice and presence.

Cole: Charismatic, sincere, magnetic. Audience must be drawn to him and compelled. Is he all that he seems? What’s going on below the surface? Tenor.

Eliot: The comedian. Doesn’t take too much seriously, but genuinely values Henry’s friendship. Must be truly funny. Tenor.

Rose: Exotic, attractive, a mystery – and perhaps crazy. We don’t know what’s going on in her mind at any particular time. She must deliver subtext/character development not necessarily on the page. Belt.

Rachel: A nurse, easy-going, pleasant without being incredibly invested in her patients.
Sweet belt voice.
