Repertoire
SEEKING (all other roles have been cast)
Featured Dancer/Tapper/Singers:
Young Phyllis - tap and sing.
Description: A younger version of Phyllis, when she was an energetic and naïve Follies girl. Slightly sad and homesick. With all the drive and none of the sophistication of the adult Phyllis.
Female, age 20-25
Vocal range: E5 to B3
Young Sally - tap and sing.
Description: A younger version of the adult Sally. She is perhaps the most similar to her adult counterpart of any of the foursome. Petite. Sweet-faced. Bubbly. Adventurous. Wants it all but may not have the patience or drive to wait for it.
Female, age 18-25
Vocal range: G5 to C4
Young Ben - dance and sing, able to handle Fosse-like moves
Description: A not yet fully realized version of the man we see before us today, he is driven and intelligent but not quite so distinguished and not yet frightened by his success.
Male, age 20-30
Vocal range: F5 to C4
Young Buddy - dance and sing, able to handle Fosse-like moves
Description: A not yet fully realized version of the man we see before us today, he is driven and intelligent but not quite so distinguished and not yet frightened by his success.
Male, age 20-30
Vocal range: G5 to C4
