    Season Breakdown

    A professional repertory company of singer/actor/dancer/mover artists of all types to perform in all of our 3-summer repertory shows: “Kinky Boots,” “The Music Man,” and “Come from Away.” All cast actors participate in all 3 shows with an onstage part or as an understudy. This is a 14-week contract. Also seeking singer/actors of all types for our 6-week fall show contract; “I Left My Heart,” a tribute to Tony Bennett. This is a separate contract from the summer repertory shows.

    RMRT will be hiring one repertory ensemble to appear in all of our summer season shows. All roles - leading, supporting, and ensemble - will be cast from the one repertory ensemble. These are the characters to be cast:

    “Kinky Boots”
    Note that the entire cast should be comfortable with a pop/rock style of singing and British accent.
    - Charlie Price: Male. Sings C3–B4. A leading man, just out of university. He is privileged, but likeable - his father owns the shoe factory. He is handsome and loveable but there is a temper right under the skin. A bit confused, a bit unfocused, a hero hiding under a victim’s mantle. Has a great singing voice, ability to move.
    - Lola: Male. Sings C3–B4 (with one top C). An emotionally and physically challenging role that requires the body of a boxer with the soul of a Diva, a la Whitney Houston. Has star presence and feels comfortable wearing everything from full glamour as a scene-stealing drag performer to nothing but boxing trunks. Has a killer voice with power blues and gospel chops. This role is written as a non- Caucasian (generally African heritage) male.
    - Lauren: Female. Sings B?3–F?5. Beautiful, but quirky (not glamourous like Nicola) working class girl who works in the shoe factory. Funny and smart but has had bad luck with men.
    - Nicola: Female. Sings B?3–F?5. Charlie’s girlfriend since school. Sophisticated looks. She is a social climber, driven and uncompromising. She knows what she wants and goes for it.
    - Don: Male. Sings C3–F4. Lola’s nemesis. Burly hyper-masculine bear of a factory worker. Has a menacing physicality. Least likely to be seen on a runway in kinky boots.
    - George: Male. Sings C3–F4. Factory Manager, keeping up traditions. Reserved and tightly wound.
    - The Angels: Male. These are the 4-6 drag performers who perform with Lola. Versatile and terrific singers and dancers (required to dance in heels). Physical fitness is crucial. Tumbling and acro skills a plus. Three Angels sing to C?5 and three sing to A4. May cover Lola.
    - Trish, Pat, Mr. Price, Harry: to be cast from the ensemble.
    - Ensemble: Males and Females. The men and women of the ensemble must be excellent singers. They will cover Principal and Featured ensemble roles as well as play factory workers, pub patrons etc. Factory workers should look like real, everyday people and be able to move well. All must be very strong singers. Some must be terrific dancers, have great pop voices and be comfortable in drag in order to cover Angels. May cover Lola.
    Children’s Roles:
    - Young Charlie: the lead as a 7-year-old boy. Lost, quiet, reflective. He appears in the opening and closing sequences.
    - Young Simon/Lola: This is Lola as a 10-year-old boy, who already knows he’s destined to wear high heels. Non-Caucasian, to be cast after our adult Simon/Lola is cast.


    “The Music Man”

    - Harold Hill: The protagonist. A con man, traveling under the auspices of a salesman, he eventually falls in love with Marian Paroo. Charismatic and charming.
    - Marian Paroo: The stuffy town librarian and music teacher. She is an attractive young lady who eventually falls in love with Harold Hill. Has an effortless soprano voice. My White Knight. (Note: Vocal range and style will be more like the original Broadway-style and range - not like the most recent revival. Original keys, more soprano - less belt.)
    - Mrs. Paroo: Cheerful and always plotting. An Irish widow and mother to Marian and Winthrop.
    - Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn: Mayor Shinn's peacock wife. A serial gossiper and snob, she has trouble keeping her opinions to herself.
    - Marcellus Washburn: Harold's chummy old friend and former con man. He now lives in River City and is trying to settle down.
    - Jacey, Ewart, Oliver, Olin: Barbershop Quartet. Have clear-as-a-bell singing voices and excellent harmony-singing skills.
    - Mayor Shinn: A blustery politician who is all too "self-important." Begrudgingly married to Eulalie, he is skeptical of the town rumor mill.
    - Tommy Djilas: An attractive, young man from the wrong side of town. He is secretly courting Zaneeta.
