SEEKING (ages 16-99)



J. PIERREPONT FINCH - Window cleaner. (20-35, Tenor) Finch is young and driven to succeed in the business world. He exhibits a great amount of charm and pluck, but is never completely trustworthy. He will vacillate between uncertainty and over-confidence.



J.B. BIGGLEY - President of the World Wide Wicket Company. (45-60, Baritone) Biggley is a self-important blowhard. He is the head of the company, and makes sure everyone knows it. However, he is completely brought to his knees by the women in his life.



BUD FRUMP - Biggley's nephew. (20-40, Tenor) Frump is a lazy weasel who expects to succeed in the company through nepotism. He appears to have everything put together, but the people who know him, know the truth.



ROSEMARY PILKINGTON - Office Secretary (20-35, Mezzo or Alto) Rosemary is beautiful, loyal and long-suffering. She is in love with Finch and supports him in his climb to succeed in the company. She is spurned and ignored several times throughout the show, and continues to return to Finch.



HEDY LA RUE - The Other Woman (20-40, Soprano or Mezzo) Hedy is the sexy bombshell who is having an affair with Biggley. She is not bright, but knows how to use her looks to succeed in the company. She later appears as the pirate mascot in the company treasure hunt.

SMITTY - Office Secretary (20-45, Mezzo or Alto) Smitty is friend and confidant of Rosemary. She is less idealistic than Rosemary and encourages her in her efforts to snag Finch.



MISS JONES - Mr. Biggsley's secretary (20-60, High Belt) Miss Jones is the extremely gruff executive secretary to the head of the company. She is the one that keeps Biggley in line, and all of the employees try to stay out of her way. She breaks this mold late in the show with an upbeat solo. This character must be a belter.



BERT BRATT - Personnel Manager (20-60, Baritone) Harried executive that does a quality job. Bratt is central to the hirings and firings that move the plot along, and is one of the only executives who seems to do his job.



MR TWIMBLE - Head of the Mail Room (30-60, Baritone) Hardworking low-level executive who has been beaten down by working in the mail room for too many years. He is a genuinely likeable guy.



WALLY WOMPER - Chairman of the Board (40-70, Baritone) Womper is a grumpy looking man who is largely silent. When he does speak, he is revealed to be a gruff but charming man who is proud of his blue-collar background.



MISS KRUMHOLTZ - Mr. Gatch's secretary (20-60, Soprano, Mezzo, or Alto) Miss Krumholtz is the professional secretary that is completely loyal to the executive she is assigned to that day.



MILT GATCH - Head of Plans and Systems (20-60, Tenor, Baritone, or Bass) Gatch is a confident and handsome junior executive who is not immune to an attractive female.



BENJAMIN BURTON DANIEL OVINGTON - New head of advertising (20-40, Tenor, Baritone, or Bass) Ovington is the golden boy. Tall, handsome, athletic and smart. He is hired to head up the advertising department.



ENSEMBLE - (Junior Executives/Secretaries) (16-40) Various vocal ranges. Multiple featured/speaking parts.
