Illych Tchaikovsky </b>– 50s. <b>JOE</b> is
quiet and diligent: a closeted high school Earth Science’s teacher, and a man
who understands the value of patience and self-negation. He is used to not
getting exactly what he might wish for. <b>TCHAIKOVSKY</b>
is a musical genius, homosexual (though not openly), enormously charismatic, deeply
emotional, explosive. By turns sullen, petulant, demanding, and more than a
little exasperating.<span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b>Nancy
Klein/Antonietta Dell’era</b> – Around 40. <b>NANCY</b>
is a high school English teacher, very warm and open. She laughs too easily,
probably cries too easily as well if anyone were ever around to see. <b>DELL’ERA</b> is Prima Ballerina of the
Imperial Ballet. A voluptuous woman with majestic hauteur. MUCH larger than
life. She speaks with an almost ludicrous Italian accent. <a name="_Hlk520638648"><i>Must also sing as

Maynes/Modeste Illych Tchaikovsky/Consort</b> – <b>MARC</b> is a gym teacher, 35+, not un-charming, but a man who honestly
believes valuable life lessons can be learned in dodgeball. <b>MODESTE</b> is a businessman who wishes to
be an artist. Sharp, a little sly, and not sentimental: a good balance for his
brother. <b>CONSORT</b> is in service to
the Sugar Plum Fairy. <i>Must also sing as

Plum Fairy”.<span></span></i></p>

Davidov/Sugar Plum Fairy</b> –<span> </span>40s. <b>SASHA</b>, sister to Pyotr and Modeste, is
placid and quite beautiful: a truly porcelain face, which seems to rest in a
fixed calm. A riding injury has left her in constant pain and hopelessly addicted
to opium. <b>SUGAR PLUM FAIRY</b> – a
version of the fairy from “The Nutcracker”. She is somewhat ethereal and, for
the purposes of the play, represents a vision of grace, innocence, and redemption.
<i>Must be able to dance en pointe.</i><span></span></p>

“Bob” Levovitch Davidov</b> – Early 20s. <b>BLAINE</b>
is a young gay runaway, working for a phone sex chatline. Unpredictable, a
little lost, always testing boundaries. Coltish, boyishly sexy. <b>BOB</b>, son of Sasha, nephew to Modeste
and Tchaikovsky, a still unformed and naive young man; unsure which road to
take, unsure if he will take any. <i>Must
