THE ROOT BEER BANDITS: A ROOTIN' TOOTIN' WILD WEST MUSICALE is an original musical. Set in the colorful wild west of 1860 in a California township called Sarsparilla City. This vaudevillian style chronicles a young female Pony Express rider (Polly Peppercorn) and her unplanned adventure. She finds herself in the middle of town when two outlaws (Copper Penny and Zeke) show up aiming to steal the city's famous Gold Rush Label Root Beer. With her new friend (Sally Sue Tucker) and Sheriff Baily at her side, Polly sets things right and confirms that no matter what, everyone is capable of greatness.
Comic timing and understanding of all styles of comedy is key for all roles.
POLLYANNA PEPPERCORN: FEMALE (20s to 30s) our heroine is a strong young woman who is hiding in her brother's clothes. She is REAL. She is not fancy or frilly. She is courageous and kind. She rides for the Pony Express, but dreams to be an American songwriter. She connects and interacts with the audience. VOCAL RANGE: Alto. Strong singer and dancer. Guitar or banjo knowledge a plus, but not required.
SHERIFF BAILEY: MALE (30s to 40s) All-American good guy. A charming, handsome hero type. A true baritone with a kind, strong speaking voice. VOCAL RANGE: Baritone. Some dance ability.
SALLY SUE TUCKER: FEMALE (20s to 30s) an elegant, yet outspoken entrepreneur who is enthusiastic just about everything, especially fashion. She owns the only dress shop in town. VOCAL RANGE: Alto/Soprano. Strong singer and dancer.
