BREAKDOWN
|
|
Robin - charming, handsome, RP accent. A bit of a spoiled jerk at the beginning of the show but by the middle of the first act we should be rooting for him. Someone you can pin an evening on. Some Guitar would be great. A younger Adam Pascal/Benjamin Walker. High Bari (must have F’s)
CALLBACK SONG(S): * There’s A Hero - to letter D. Looking for Adam Pascal or Phillip Phillips sound. * Let it Ring- full page through letter C
Marian - Charming, attractive. To the manor borne. RP also, a clever girl who no matter how stylish and witty, always has a little something going on behind those eyes. Pop/legit- not a brash belter. Jesse Mueller/Patti Murrin/Kerry Butler.
CALLBACK SONG(S): *Take Me Home - all 4 pages
Alan A’Dale – Must be an excellent quitar player (must read chords, be able to do more than strum, must play like a rock star). Good comic sense. Good looking, second lead opposite Lady Anne. Working class accent. Bari.
CALLBACK SONG(S): * Alan A’dale- all 4 pages. Must play it alone with guitar.
Lady Anne - Upper class, RP, ditzy Madeline Kahn type. Plays the violin/fiddle. Soprano. Most “legit” sounding. Has a faux-opera bit.

Merry Men - we are looking for the 2017 version of these archtypes. Lil John should be largest. Will should be a fop. Much should be a younger boy, even if played by a girl. Most play two or more roles. At least one should play the guitar and if others have instrument skills (violin, guitar, accordion, ukulele), they will be used. Each one a different dialect of Britain.
