Additional Materials
SEEKING:
OFFSTAGE
COVER FOR EWEN MONTAGU & OTHERS (Female, 25-40): Strong comic
ability and singing ability is needed for this exciting multi-role show.
Multi-roles across ages and genders and have natural facility with
comedy script. Strong facility with close harmony work essential, as
well as strong movement skills. Proficiency with accents essential.
Strong Alto / Mezzo - Vocal range G3 - F5. EWEN MONTAGU: The ‘host’ of
the show (at least in his mind), Montagu is charming, confident and very
much used to getting what he wants as a result. A member of the elite
upper classes, he’s the definition of privilege and is determined to be
having the most fun possible in any situation.
OFFSTAGE COVER FOR
CHARLES CHOLMONDELEY & OTHERS (Male, 25-40): Great comedy bones and
strong singing ability is needed for this exciting multi-role show.
Multi-roles across ages and genders and have natural facility with
comedy. Ability to do a Spanish accent essential. Vocal Range: G2 - G4
(baritone). CHARLES CHOLMONDELEY: The man behind the plan, Charles has
most of the advantages Montagu has in life, and yet has never quite
managed to fit in. Awkward, cripplingly shy and a slave to perfection,
he’d rather be off studying a rare form of newt than be in the
spotlight.
OFFSTAGE COVER FOR JOHNNY BEVAN & OTHERS (Female,
25-40): Strong comic ability and singing ability is needed for this
exciting multi-role show. Multi-roles across ages and genders and have
natural facility with comedy script. Strong facility with close harmony
work essential, as well as strong movement skills. Proficiency with
accents essential. Strong Alto - Vocal range G3 - Bb4. JOHNNY BEVAN:
Colonel Bevan is the Head of Military Deception. Painfully serious and
often despairing at the maniacs he has working for him, he is our
reminder of what’s at stake during the operation. Although he and
Montagu are often at odds, he’s not an antagonist; he’s a man with a
huge weight on his shoulders trying to get the job done.
OFFSTAGE
COVER FOR HESTER LEGGATT & OTHERS (Male, 25-40): Strong comic
ability and singing ability is needed for this exciting multi-role show.
Multi-roles across ages and genders and have natural facility with
comedy script. Strong facility with close harmony work essential, as
well as strong movement skills. Vocal Range: C3 - C5 (tenor). HESTER
LEGGATT: Bevan’s incredibly capable and trusted right-hand woman, Hester
is reserved and often comes across as severe to her colleagues.
However, underneath her stern exterior and strong sense of duty lies a
genuine warmth and desire to connect with the people around her in a
deeper way.
OFFSTAGE COVER FOR JEAN LESLIE & OTHERS (Female,
25-40): Strong leading singing ability is needed for this exciting
multi-role show. Multi-roles across ages and genders and have natural
facility with comedy script. Strong facility with close harmony work
essential, as well as strong movement skills. Vocal Range: B4 - B6
(mezzo-soprano with strong mix). JEAN LESLIE: Young, smart and
ambitious, Jean cannot believe the opportunity she’s getting in working
at MI-bloody-5! Impatient and outspoken (sometimes to a fault, sometimes
to her advantage), she’s constantly pushing against the boundaries of
what is expected of her as a young woman in a man’s world.
