Note: Characters that are Napolitan born should have some accent.
Paolo:
Lead (60) ( Tenor or Baritone.) - A journalist/ CIA operative. Napolitan born. (slight accent). Romantic lead with some comedic overtones. A younger Giancarlo Giannini could do this. Or Marcello Mastroianni.
Concierge:
Lead - (also plays Pulcinella) - 65 - Baritone. Comedic role: Akim Tamiroff or Zero Mostel-like character (Not necessarily in size). A wise-cracking and charming survivor. Cunning. Street smart.
Concetta:
Lead - (50 ish) Soprano. A Nun. Comedic role. Gilda Radner could have done this. Passionate. Ready to hit the barricades at the drop of a hat. In the end, good hearted.
Madeleine:
(50) - Journalist. A Lauren Bacall kind of sarcasm. Attractive. Unlucky in love. Doubles as Hillary Clinton.
John:
(55) - Journalist. Button down collar type. Conservative in his politics. Wry sense of humor.
Obama:
55 - Baritone. Comedic role. Eddie Murphy could do this. Sincere rhetoritician. Sells boxes of N.Y. air.
Ciro:
55 - Mafia Don. Napolitan. Comedic. Threatening. But with fuzzy insides. Peter Lorre could have done this.
Lorenzo:
25-27 - Tenor. Napolitan. Romantic. Smart but self pitying. Frustrated with life. Adjunct Professor.
Maria:
23 - 25 - Soprano. Beautiful. Napolitan born. An optimist, but a realist, not too Pollyannaish.
Gennarino:
Comedic Politician. As good or as bad as any politician but bumbling. Another Akim Tamiroff kind of character. Things are always getting away from him. Puts a happy face on the worst disasters.
