style='font-size:14.0pt'><br>
<br>
</span><u>JESUS</u><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> – (Tenor High G#)
Vocal Quality – Rich and warm; must be the most charismatic individual
in the cast. High energy, charming, funny, gentle, but with strength.
He is the sort of person others instinctively follow. Age 18-45<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:9.0pt'><u><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>JOHN
THE BAPTIST/JUDAS</span></u><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> – (Baritone
E) Vocal Quality – Legit/Rich Quality with vibrato He has
attributes of both Biblical figures: he is both Jesus’ lieutenant and
most ardent disciple and the doubter who begins to question and rebel.
Like Jesus, he is also charismatic, but in more of an over revolutionary
way. He is the most “serious” and intellectual of the group,
though as with all the actors, he must still possess a good sense of physical
comedy. Age 18-45<br>
<br>
</span><u>JEFFREY</u> – (Tenor High D (falsetto) Vocal quality- Pop
Very high energy. Impish and playful. Age 16-50<span
style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><u><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>LAMAR</span></u><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'> – Vocal Quality – Pop (Tenor High A) Not the
brightest in the bunch, he is a little slow on the uptake. But there is a
great sweetness and innocence about him. Because he sings “All Good
Gifts,” he must be a very good singer. Age 18-50<br>
<br>
</span><u>HERB</u> – (Baritone E - Does not sing any real solo, but should
be able to carry baritone harmonies) The comedian, the class clown.
The guy who can do a hundred voices and imitations. This is also
the role that sings the least, so casting will be based on comedic timing
rather than vocal ability.<span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#6E6E6E'> </span><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Age 18-60<br>
<br>
</span><u>ROBIN</u> – (Alto) Vocal quality –
Folk A bit of a Tomboy, but basically open and sweet.
She is the first of the group to commit to following Jesus in the song
“Day by Day.” Age 16-55<span style='font-size:14.0pt'><br>
<br>
</span><u>JOANNE</u><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> – Vocal Quality
– Pop (Soprano - High A in “Bless the Lord”, High C in
“We Beseech Thee”) The confident one, the show – off.
The first one to volunteer, sometimes she jumps in before she really
understands what’s going on. Age 18-40<br>
<br>
</span><u>PEGGY</u> – (Alto) Vocal quality – Pure Tone/No heavy
vibrato The shy one. Sometimes a little slow to get things, but
when she does, she commits all the way. Has an “earth mother”
kind of warmth to her. Age 16-55<br>
<br>
<u>SONIA</u> – (Low Alto – D below middle C) Vocal quality
– Blues/Lounge/Smoky Sassy and slightly cynical, the
most urban of the group. Also the “sexy” one, but her
sexiness contains a large element of put – on, in the manner of Mae West
or Madonna (who in fact once played this role) Age 25-60<br>
<br>
<u>GILMER</u> – (Mezzo) Vocal quality – Blues or Gospel
The female equivalent of the class clown. Goofy and a cut – up.
This is the female role that sings least, and therefore should be cast
with a strong comedienne. Age 18-55
