A mechanic. Gritty on the outside, tender and hopeful on the inside. Being able to demonstrate variable vocal textures and expression is essential.
Chad – Male, 20s, F2 – A4
A great lookin’, motorcycling, guitar playing, leather-jacketed roustabout. Charismatic and confident, vocal style should embody the signature sound of the 1960s. Demonstrating a charming lead male character in the audition is essential.
Jim Haller – Male, Mid 40s – 50s, Bb2 – F#4
Natalie’s widowed father. There should be a sense of both wisdom and vulnerability. A softer, aged sound is important.

Sylvia’s 16-year-old daughter. Young and dreamy, with suggestions of her mother’s texture. Choose an audition song that conveys the adolescent, hopeful romantic.
Dennis – Male, early 20s, A2 – Eb5
A young, awkward, aspiring dentist. Goofy and moderately comedic. The song chosen for the audition should convey that Dennis is often underestimated and overlooked.

Mayor Matilda Hyde – Female, Mid 40s – 50s, Bb3 – C6
The town’s conservative mayor. Bossy and opinionated, needs to be politely overbearing.
