MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
FRANKLIN SHEPARD
Male
25-40 years old
Vocal Range: A2-B𝄬4
His character ranges from an influential songwriter and film producer to an innocent, bright-eyed optimist in NYC. Talented and handsome but misled, tragic, and tormented.
CHARLEY KRINGAS
Male
25-40 years old
Vocal Range: G#4-A#2
A stubborn, intense man with average looks. He ranges from a successful lyricist and Frank's long-time friend to a bright-eyed optimist creating his own opportunities in NYC.
MARY FLYNN
Female
30-45 years old
Vocal Range: G𝄬5-G3
A middle-aged theater critic. Her character arcs to the youthful, gorgeous 20-something living in NYC with best friend Frank. Sardonic, bitter, and witty.
GUSSIE CARNEGIE
Female
25-35 years old
Vocal Range: C5-G3
The flamboyant, self-invented actress. Her character begins at the end of her relationship with Frank, but throughout the show we see her grow more and more helplessly in love with him. Greedy and seductive.
BETH
Female
25-35 years old
Vocal Range: G5-A3
A naive and insecure middle-American who is the mother of Frank's son. She arcs from a down-trodden housewife at her wits end to a hopeless romantic at the beginning of her engagement to the man of her dreams.
JOE JOSEPHSON
Male
35-50 years old
Vocal Range: F#4-A2
Big-talking Broadway producer and husband to Gussie. He later becomes pathetic and poor.
MEG KINCAID (also part of the ensemble)
Female
18-25 years old
Vocal Range: G𝄬5-D4
Starry-eyed starlet who is naive and ambitious. At the start of the show, she is Frank's newest fling.
ENSEMBLE/SUPPORTING ROLES
Party Guests, Artists, Newscasters, Family members, etc
All ages and vocal types
