Character Descriptions
Charlie Price: Lead, Male, 20-30
A leading man, just out of university. He is privileged, but likeable — his father owns the shoe factory. He is handsome and loveable but there is a temper right under the skin. Must have a great rock voice, ability to move and be a strong actor.
Gender: Male. Vocal range top: B4 Vocal range bottom: C3
Lola/Simon: Lead, Male, 30-40
An emotionally and physically challenging role that requires the body of a boxer with the soul of a Diva, a la Whitney Houston. Must have star presence and feel comfortable wearing everything from full glamour as a scene-stealing drag performer to nothing but boxing trunks. Must have a killer voice with power blues and gospel chops. Strong comedic actor. This is the Tony Award®-winning role originated by Billy Porter on Broadway, written for a non-Caucasian (generally African heritage) male. Vocal range top: B4 (with one top C) Vocal range bottom: C3.
Note: Bring heels to the audition if possible
Ethnicity: Black / African Descent

Lauren: Supporting, Female, 20-30
Beautiful, but quirky (not glamorous like Nicola) working-class girl who works in the shoe factory. Funny and smart but has had bad luck with men. Terrific comedic actress.Vocal range top: F#5 Vocal range bottom: Bb3
