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.

All ages and vocal types
