Synopsis of show: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his
mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most
notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old
ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is
a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver
their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive
"Springtime For Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally
going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction.
At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey
of two very different men who become friends.

The following roles will be cast:

Max Bialystock

The consummate con man. Naturally animated and bombastic, he is never at a
loss for charm and manners. Typically conspires with Leo.

Gender: Male

Age: 40 to 55

Vocal range top: F#4

Vocal range bottom: A2

Leo Bloom

An accountant. Boring and mousy, he is a hesitant optimist who longs for
something more. Dragged into a scheme by Max.

Gender: Male

Age: 35 to 45

Vocal range top: F4

Vocal range bottom: A2

Franz Liebkind

German loyalist playwright. From his lederhosen to his pigeon, Adolph, his
love for the motherland is unmistakable. He is imposing yet tender.

Gender: Male

Age: 35 to 55

Vocal range top: G4

Vocal range bottom: F2

Roger Debris

New York's most famous and flamboyant stage director. Surrounds himself
with deliciously beautiful clothing, people, and possessions. In a crowd,
it would be impossible to miss him.

Gender: Male

Age: 50 to 60

Vocal range top: G4

Vocal range bottom: G#2

Carmen Ghia

Roger Debris' faithful assistant. Carmen is severe in looks and passion for
Roger. He may appear younger than he actually is thanks to skilled surgeons.

Ulla Inga Hansen Benson Yonsen Tallen-hallen Svaden-svanson

A young and hopeful actress. Though her beauty might eclipse her talent,

ways.
