BREAKDOWN

PIPPIN

SEEKING:

LEADING PLAYER - The ultimate 'ringleader.' Masterfully charming and manipulative, the Leading Player is a chameleon of sorts. Guides Pippin through his own story and tries to intervene at the end. Excellent dancer. Obsessed with putting on a great show for the audience. Gender: Any / Age: 25-45 / Vocal range top: Ab4 / Vocal range bottom: Db3

PIPPIN - Our story's young and confused protagonist. He is longing to find his purpose in life. Naive, innocent, and discontent. Eventually finds love, and meaning in life, with Catherine and Theo. Gender: Male / Age: 25-35 / Vocal range top: Ab4 / Vocal range bottom: G2

CHARLES - Pippin's demanding father. As the King of the Holy Roman Empire, Charlemagne is more comfortable wielding a sword than breaking bread. He wears his years with great pride. Gender: Male / Age: 35 to 55 / Vocal range top: E4 / Vocal range bottom: G2

FASTRADA - Pippin's conniving stepmother. A seductress, who is no stranger to deceit and betrayal, she is both sexy and smart. Skilled at using her sexual appeal to benefit her and her son. Gender: Female / Age: 30 to 50 / Vocal range top: F5 / Vocal range bottom: A3

CATHERINE - A widow and mother. She is a beautiful and a hopeless romantic, who possesses graceful elegance. Encounters Pippin at his lowest point and eventually falls in love with him. Gender: Female / Age: 25 to 35 / Vocal range top: Db5 / Vocal range bottom: F#3

ENSEMBLE - Triple Threat performers for speaking/singing/dancing roles to play Charlemagne’s Army, Monks, Nobility, Peasants, & Players

BERTHE (U/S) - Pippin's saucy grandmother. A brassy broad full of wisdom, grace, and sass. She tries to help Pippin and encourages him to live his life to the fullest. Gender: Female / Age: 50-70 / Vocal range top: C5 / Vocal range bottom: E3

LEWIS (U/S) - Pippin's half-brother. Cocky & dim-witted. Gender: Male / Age: 25-35
